you have to platoon reed no matter what and his bats really not going to carry a corner job for long even if he is platooned.

Reed in left, Wlad/Wilk in right, Rauuul at DH, Vidro on a bus, and Cairo, well, wherever he was before this season.

The problem is not losing morse. Its that we are now playing a light hitting 2b on a platoon basis in RF when you can pick up a rh corner OF for two bottlecaps and a copy of swank.

reed is your basic 5th OF. huge platoon splits, runs OK for a guy who’s not really fast, has gap power but not GRAYSKULL POWER!!!! plays OK D in center but not so much that he’s a sober mike kreevich or anything. takes a walk if you hand it to him. rather have him on the roster instead of Cairo but id rather have trench foot than Cairo on the roster.

And we can still dread that they trade Carlos Triunfel for Jay Gibbons. Don’t say it can’t happen.

Pretty much, I would say, #21. I like the kid and would have loved to see him get his shot here as he did deserve it, despite what he may or may not project stat wise.

Sucks for Morse. Finally got his chance (probably his only chance) and now its over.

Right. Willie should be the solution, if only he would play like a solution.

from KJR this afternoon, in answer to a question (from a guy who must not be one of those ‘baseball seamheads’ that Gas frets about) about why Willie (what with his hitting and his intangibles) isn’t the answer in right:

“Willie should be part of the solution, but he has got to do something to make them not take him out of the lineup”

16-

I have heard, via KING5, that it will stay Safeco Field.

I’m surprised that no one has brought up the Safeco buyout.

I can’t wait to start attending games at Liberty Mutual Field!!1! We can call it “The Lib!”
