Update on departed Mariner infielder Ben Williamson:

1.007 OPS. lol

I kept telling you what a breakout candidate he was but you wouldn't listen lol

Ok Mr. ST Stats man! lol

The Rays plan to use Williamson as a utility man it sounds like.

That makes 1000x more sense for a player like Williamson is right now than handing him third base on a contender.

The Mariners have an abundance of utility players. Lacking in starters at 2B and 3B. But at least utility guy isnt a problem.

I feel a hell of a lot better about Cole after all the loud contact this month. If he can go .250/.330/.420 at 2B that would be huge. He did have a 50 game stretch at .768 last season so .725-.750 for the season isn't crazy.

This is the week I usually book the house with the pool in Arrowhead lakes near Peoria every year and about the past 5 times the temps have been in the 70s so can't even use the pool. This week it is going to be 105 degrees. God hates my ass so bad.

Yeah if he can just not roll over and die he'll be fine. His homerun swing the other day looked good. Whoever gets the job, I hope they just give them near-daily playing time.

I listened to it. Those God damn clowns had a chance to ask him about handshakegate one of the biggest M's controversies in YEARS and instead asked him about FREAKIN ICHIRO's presence with the team. ICHIRO! Breaking news! Ichiro has been in Peoria nearly every season since pre 9/11. Absolute JOKE. I wonder if they were jacking Jerry off during the interview????
