Pffft. Not likely. I'd been lobbying for THREE YEARS to get him out of Seattle. Guy plays a great CF but he'd strike out in t-ball.

I dont know what roster set you're using but does it contain our valued prospects? In other words, do the following people exist in our AAA club?
Travis Blackely
Clint Nageotte
Justin Leone
Bucky Jacobson
Jose Lopez
Jamal Strong
Matt Thorton

Those are all major league ready players we have at Tacoma and players I'd like to see playing in Seattle now while we ship Boone, Aurilla, Spiezio, and Winn for prospects. That way we give our youngsters a tryout, and free up over 50 million in payroll to go big in the offseason. Like say:
Beltran if no more than 15 mil
Ordonez same deal
Koskie for third
Palmeiro at one or two years, 3 mil for DH and to stop him from hitting HR against him (he has like 50 against Seattle)
maybe Delgado? maybe Nomar? maybe Pedro? So many options!!!

Anyways, that's my org rant, sorry but it's kind of a knee jerk reaction when my beloved but not baseball savvy Ms come up.
