...is that Jose Lopez moved to the third spot in the batting order at precisely the moment he figured out how to hit.  Before berievement, he was generally hitting 5th behind the DH or even 6th.  After berievement, he hits third.  You talk about a manager recognizing talent and execution within one game of the light bulb turning on!
From where I sit, the new-look Mariners, complete with passable MLB shortstop, interesting MLB outfield prospect, and much improved offensive catcher are exactly one power hitting DH (who can bat 4th) away from having a playoff caliber offense if J-Lo is going to continue to hit like Tejada.
