That makes it sound unlikely he would trade Jones for Bedard. So, it sounds like Bavasi mentioned Jones a LOT in how he is trying to construct his roster.

All you have to do to keep your job is be better than a 33 yr old veteran would struggles to hit .600 OPS. Cairo for MVP anyone? If anything, wouldn’t Cairo push Lopez to play worse?

If you have not payed attention the past few seasons, the Mariners have a tendency to aquire a veteran player every season. Everyone knows that sometime in spring training that person ussually gets hurt or does not make the roster. For example look back at Pokey Reese boy what a run he had with the Mariners eh? </blockquote> Well, I think some of the comments are directed for the construction of the bench as a whole. There's a difference in getting another Bloomquist type for the bench when you don't have any pop on the bench vs. getting a veteran shortstop when you didn't have an established shortstop.

Did we already know this about Richie and I just hadn't heard it? I can't stand another six months of those guys' futility. If their cooperative suckfest speeds Bavasi and Mac out the door, however, I will forgive them for past indiscretions.
