BOOKED
It's official. Mike Myers is a Mariner.
Myers, who pitched with the Diamondbacks the past two years, is familiar to manager Bob Melvin, the Arizona bench coach two seasons back. He has pitched in 609 big league games. After going 0-1 with a 5.70 ERA last year for Arizona, he has a 12-20 career record with a 4.37 ERA.
The only way I would accept Myers' presence on the 25-man roster is if the M's decided to release Kevin Jarvis, opening up a spot for Myers.
But that's not likely to happen. Expect to see Myers and Jarvis on the 25-man roster come Opening Day.
In other Mariners news:
Bill Bavasi is a scary man. Last night on the Northwest Sports Report, I actually had the chance to see an interview with the man responsible for this putrid offseason. His eyes bug out like nobody's business. During the offseason, we've discussed possible Bavasi look-a-likes, and Lenny from "Of Mice of Men" came up.
Well, I'm here to tell you that the Lenny comparison is dead-on. How could this man get a job?
Oh wait...he got a job because of his daddy. Damn them genetics!!!
