Gordon and I aren't going to flame at each other, and there's nothing wrong with holding different lotto tickets. :- )
Ya, the Mariners have treated Tui pretty favorably all along and it speaks to their belief in him. Of course, they believed in Kotchman too.
My own favor towards Tuiasosopo isn't expressed as a 100% chance that he'll produce 6.5 runs a game with a plus glove some day. But I still give him a good 1/3 chance of being a good starter in the bigs, most likely at 3B.

He *has* made what, 4 errors in 19 ML games at 3B, and now has 4 in 24 games at Tacoma. In a very short run, that is 30+ errors a year, not too far off a Mangini error rate.
Will be watching his D more, now that G grades him down.
