BLINDSIDE?
Did this happen to slip by anyone today? It's at the end of John Hickey's notebook article, in the section called "Notes" --
In yesterday's posted lineup, Jolbert Cabrera was listed as the center fielder in place of Randy Winn. Melvin wanted to get Cabrera's right-handed bat in against the left-handed Riley. Since Riley will pitch tonight, it's likely the Mariners will get their first look at Cabrera in center.
Two things that come to mind about this...
>> Randy Winn is horrible right now
>> Oh man, this bench is HORRID. As if having Quinton McCracken starting for an injured Raul Ibanez wasn't bad enough, we have to live with the idea of starting Jolbert Cabrera if Randy Winn is sucking and/or injured??
Ouch.
