Yeah, I know he was never really a stud prospect with the Mariners (despite some good seasons in the minors and a few good cups in the majors) but, hot damn, check out what he

Well, yeah, if you want to poop in his Cheerios, but he's building off of a pretty impressive 2006:

Yeah, I know the dude's almost 30, but he's not a bad end-of-the-bench bat to have. Sad he never really got to see much action with the Mariners.

Okay, so between 2006 and 2007, now we're at 117 at-bats and counting.

I didn't see the point in keeping a guy who had topped out as a roughly 800-OPS guy in his late 20s at the AA-AAA level. (In the PCL, no less.) I wouldn't even know how to look up his major league equivalency level but I'd assume it's somewhere around 650 -- which is about what he has actually hit at the big league level. (.257/.291/.351, according to the page you linked -- that is, his OBP is below .300, and his SLG is about the same as Joe McEwing and Dave Concepcion.)

I guess his NL equivalent OPS is more like 900.

Fine. Rain on his parade. See if you're invited to DobbCon this year.
