Raul Ibanez looked finished the first half of 2007. It was so painful to watch that I was practically begging Bavasi to give the spot to Jones because a pennent was on the line. Clearly Ibanez wasn't finished.
When power hitters struggle (Sexson in the first half of 2006 as well), they look finished. But if Cust isn't finished can you think of a player with a higher upside than him just floating around the league? Mike Wilson doesn't interest me because even if he beats the long odds and makes it in the bigs, Safeco isn't the park where he will succeed. If he were a lefty... maybe.
