    can't believe what is going on...actually smart moves

    I think that McLaren needs to go as well, we need to start fresh.

    I hear that Sexson has now been released....

    A stumbling block, or a stepping-stone"

    Oh. My. Gosh. So far everything I've been hoping for, the Mariners have done.
    Bavasi out the door? Check.
    McLaren gone? Check.
    Clement called up for significant ABs. Check.
    Sexson out? Too many rumors about it to ignore.
    Vidro not getting enough ABs for his option to vest? Ugh... This is still Seattle after all.

    We won't have a good outlook until 2010.

    As for Lee pelcoutis or however you spell it, he said he wanted to evaluate players performances before he makes any moves (sexson and vidro) what the heck....he was the assoiate General Manager before... what does he need to evaluate? if he needs to evaluate anymore, he needs to get fired as well. Chuck Armstrong needs to get fired too. We need the old Puget Power President back in with the Mariners. John Elis.

    Mariners Checklist:

    Done:

    Fire McLaren: Check
    Get Rid of Sexson: Check (To happen in a few days)
    Call up Clement: Check

    Still to do:
    Keep Vidro on bench or trade/release
    Get rid of Cairo


    Possibilities:

    Trade Beltre for prospects
    Trade Bedard for prospects


    You can only hope:

    Trade Johjima
    Trade both Washburn and Batista
    Trade Silva

    You know the worst thing about Cairo on the M's? He has started 11 games at first base sporting a .207/.288/.241 line. What exactly is Miguel Cairo's purpose on a Major League roster these days? I thought he was a utility infielder/outfielder, a la Bloomquist. But looking at his defensive numbers he has started at first base the most the past two years.

    And don't even get me started on Willie. The Mariners deserve such futility.
