OUTHUSTLED, OUTWORKED
I got your link right here
With third baseman Scott Spiezio unavailable for the start of the season, the Seattle Mariners acquired infielder Jolbert Cabrera from the Los Angeles Dodgers for right-hander Aaron Looper and left-hander Ryan Ketchner.
Cabrera, who can play a variety of positions, will give manager Bob Melvin flexibility off the bench. Willie Bloomquist will start at third in Seattle's season opener against Anaheim on Tuesday.
Two things here...
1) Scott Spiezio's back is worse than originally thought. A bad omen to start the 2004 season.
2) The man who should have been the Mariners general manager, Paul DePodesta, just outworked and outhustled Bill Bavasi.
To echo most of the blogosphere here, WHY DO THE MARINERS EVEN HAVE A MINOR LEAGUE SYSTEM?
It wouldn't hurt to bring Justin Leone up to Seattle. But the thing is, the Mariners don't always do the right thing.
Hey fans, enjoy the Moo Mobile Tuesday afternoon at The Safe. But don't get caught paying $4 for a scoop of Cookie Dough ice cream...
Updated: This is Giovanni Carrara all over again, but this time, it's a hitter, not a pitcher. I hate this.
