...after a couple bad months. :) If he's not the answer and absolutely doesn't work out, we still have 1B locked down for a couple years while we find that out.
He won't have a .240 BABIP against righties forever. He won't have a lot of .399 (!!) OPS months like he did in July.
And not to be blunt, but his dad won't die every year and leave him without his best friend, swing coach, confidant and, well, father.
Justin's better than his last 6 weeks. Don't sweat it too hard. He knows it and the Mariners know it.
And soon we'll all get to see it - which is why there's not gonna be a search for a 2012 first baseman - he's on the team already.
