csiems:  "I can't wait for the actual fallout from the incident to finish (e.g. the firing or retaining of Jack Zduriencik, the trading or call up of Lueke to the big leagues) so that we can move back to baseball discussions."
This is a common theme I'm seeing.  Baker his ownself has repeatedly said, 'The Mariners need to make a decision'. 
I have a news flash for you all.  The Mariners decided a while ago.  Leuke was traded for, he's in the organization, he plays for the Tacoma Rainiers.  They had the opportunity to send him back to the Rangers, and decided not to.  Zduriencik is the GM.  Fusco was fired.
So relax.  The M's may decide to trade leuke, or cut him, or bring him up to the major league club.  Maybe they've already decided to do one of those things and just haven't made it happen yet, we don't know.  But don't fool yourselves in to thinking the M's *need* to decide something, because they don't, really.  Ther fallout has fallen out.  More repercussions may be forthcoming, but we don't know that any are, and if they are, what they'll be.
Leuke's a Mariner and the Mariners are going to deal with him and his development like they do with all their players.
