It would be great if we had one of them as a coach or something along those lines. But to have 2 roster spots taken up by basically the same type of player seems a little absurd. Don't get me wrong I think they are both great examples of what a pro should be, but I'd like to sign some more productive players on the field and at the plate instead of just great clubhouse bench guys. BUt then again what do I know I roast coffee and watch sports in my free time. Jack Z and Wak live baseball all day every day.

If so, have at it! Re Griffey & Sweeney, can we afford to carry two aging pinch hitters? If so, have at it!

My guess is that he is going to take a paycut. There are a lot of people down on Wilson but we haven't even seen him play healthy yet. Also most of the people down on him don't have any other reasonable suggestions for who our SS should be. We missed out of Hardy which was my top pick. But Jack didn't bring Wilson here to play for a few months. This is a no-brainer for the M's if Jack Wilson is willing to take a pay cut.

I didn't finish my last sentence up there. GO Ms! We could use their roster spots for some stronger younger players in 2011.

I didn’t finish my last sentence up there.

After that, who knows? I think as far as the morale booster they brought to the clubhouse last year, that one more year should be just enough; then this club is on it's own.
