To me, the only acceptable reason to have "entitled" veteran players on an up-and-coming team like your 2012 Seattle Mariners, is to mentor the young arms. You need someone who's been around the league before when your rotation is filled with grade A prospects making their debuts.
However, our grade A prospects are still sitting in Jackson.
Get Olivo out of here. Really, anyone who slides head first in first base should be DFA'd. Stupidest play ever. Rewarding guys who "hustle" in demonstrably negative ways is counter-productive.

And about my boy Beavan - he's got a number 5 spot in my rotation any time. All he does? Throw quality starts. Keep at 'em. And keep reminding them that you are doing it in the big leagues and are still 2 months younger than AA Jackson stud James Paxton. *whistles* nothing to see here *whistles*
