Spec,
My apology.
I did not mean to sound like such a jerk.
I'm a big Willingham fan...he's a fine player...but not as a Mariner acquisition that shoves young talent (who might actually be productive players when the M's get decent) aside.
Wells to Center and Willingham to LF or DH and Carp (who must play everyday in my world) manning the other (or 1B with Smoak at DH) is a move I could live with, as I said.
But his gloveless LF play and projectable decline makes him a reach.
If Willingham rather than a young guy means we go from 79 wins to 81...then he isn't worth it.
My apologies for my rudeness though.
