If by "Mariners get a clue" you mean "Traded away good prospects for a terrible first baseman in Ben Broussard and a limited DH in Eduardo Perez" then yes, they got a clue.

also, rumor has it that with the addition of Broussard and Perez, Sexson may be moved to make room for Ibanex DHing with Doyle in LF.

Yeah, I mean, the kid's good. I know the Mariners have 9 CF's in Tacoma, but that doesn't excuse trading one of them for Broussard, however "good" he looks this year.

They aren't done making moves, and Broussard had been better than Sexson this year. I think this really puts things in motion to move him and his big contract.

Did Everett get into another argument with management about Dinosaurs again?

Carl Everett quote from This article may be the most ridiculous thing I've ever read.

"The Bible never says anything about dinosaurs. You can't say there were dinosaurs when you never saw them. Someone actually saw Adam and Eve. No one ever saw a Tyrannosaurus rex."

Getting rid of Carl Everett is always +EV. Even if his replacement is hitting .247 in AAA.

If the M's were smart, they'd play Snelling in left, DH Ibanez and would trade Choo for something more useful. However, given that the M's are not going to do that, the Broussard deal works for them, given the limitations they've placed upon themselves by being dumb. So as an M's fan, I'm basically happy we're like 10% less retarded than we were at the start of the day. (I'm also not wild about Choo).

Dids, I don't think they are done, and I think what you described will likely happen. Lets hope at least. Possible Jones call up?
