Not advocating, just pointing out.   I root for Tui.
Tui's been given 22 ABs with 0 XBH and 0 BB.  .182/.182/.182.
On his heels: Hannahan has 2 HR and 4 BB in 6 games back at Tacoma -- and is on the 40-man.
Ramon Vazquez was signed (minor league deal) and is playing his way into shape at Tacoma.  The former top Ms prospect (anyone remember Vazquez, Brett Tomko and Tom Lampkin for Ben Davis, Alex Arias and Wascar Serrano?) was a plenty handy utility guy for Texas in 08 (.795 OPS and played all four infield spots), and despite inconsistent results has always had a decent eye and a fair amount of extra-base pop. Vazquez is not on the 40-man, but has played MLB shortstop way more than the other two (though I have no idea how he is at age 33).
 Am not sure they would sign Vazquez if they had full faith in Tui as a major leaguer this season.
