There's nothing wrong with that; a functional DJ Peterson at first for basically free would be a great help. I'm hopeful that Ford can show out in the way Haniger has and give us some younger lineup staples to help build around as the current staples age. Evan White is also on his way, so if Ford or Healy or Vogelbach is not the answer, perhaps White will be - assuming he isn't traded for a bullpen arm with a bum shoulder or anything.
The Mariners HAVE to find these pieces, and first base has been a frustration for a number of years now. The problem with Ford is that he has to be good out of the gate. He has to have Seager's age 24 year, not Ackley's. I'd love for him to be the Matt Carpenter type bat we've been wanting since Matt Carpenter was in the minors and several of us wanted to trade for him. Let us get lucky on this one, yeah baseball gods?
