I would TOTALLY vote for that!

And yeah boot A-Jack off the 20 :)

How about Jackie Robinson for the 20?

BTW, Here is my Mariners Rushmore:

Felix -- Probably my favorite Mariner EVER, plus he bleeds Teal and Gray

Edgar -- True Mariner till the end, and probably our best hitter ever (sterROD doesn't count)

Ichiro -- He was the spark to our greatest season ever, and at least for my  demographic is in a tie with Felix as the most iconic Mariner ever

Moyer -- Hey it's my Rushmore and he is one of my favorites!  I loved the fact that he was David vs Goliath personified, that he came here and blossomed for once instead of the usual other way around.

Notable Exceptions...  No A-Roid because, duh.  No Randy because he did his most impressive work elsewhere...  And the hardest exclusion...  No Griff, because of the way he left, He broke my pea pickin' little heart when not only did he demand to be traded, meaning we wouldn't be able to cheer for him anymore, but he demanded to go to Cincy and thus we got bent over a barrell in the transaction.  The way you exit is important, and colors ones feeling for the rest of your life / career.  It even irked me when he came back for a reunion tour.  Amazing how he went from my FAVORITE player to persona non grata...  pretty much forever, I don't even like that he has a roving instructor / coach / dignitary role for the mariners now...
