Can't agree Ghost.
Olivo gets $3.5m levels of respect from the M's this year. And another $750K next, even if we dump him.
Will Montero play less well because a non-productive player is released? Seager? Ichiro? Will Felix, a vet, perform more poorly and respect Wedge less?
I'm not buying it.
Happens all the time in the NFL and nobody says the lockerroom has been lost.
Wedge has given Olivo more than enough chance. He's been "respected!" Now we need to clear a position.
I'm not optimistic Wedge will do it, you understand. But he should.
That's respecting his team.
And this team is different than the one that went through the Junior good-will tour. This one is young and needs to play.
