Eric Wedge said that Franklin Gutierrez will have an MRI on Thursday. There really is no timetable for his return. It’s frustrating for Wedge. But at least there isn’t the unknown of whether Gutierrez will be available each day.
Endy Chavez will play the bulk of the time in center field. Jason Bay will be the emergency center fielder.
“He’ll be fine if we need him out there” Wedge said.
So why did Wedge choose Carlos Peguero over Eric Thames for the roster?
“We talked about Eric as well, but I just felt like we were better off with Carlos defensively and on the base paths as well,” Wedge said.
It’s saying something that Wedge views Pegeuro as better defensively – because, well, he isn’t great out in the outfield either. The base running thing stems from a few mental mistakes that Thames made last season and this spring. These were things that they were adamant that he work on when he was sent down to Triple A.

This team sucks, and when will management realize that Wedge is a bumbling idiot? Christ. Keep Seager, Morales, Morse, Saunders, and drop the rest of the dead weight. Boom.

However, with all of that, I think its time for a change. Five years is enough to time to make progress. I don't think any of us here expect us to win the world series this year, but its time to put a product on the field that is above the embarrassment level. Something is wrong with the franchise. Either we have drafted poorly or we have terrible player development... or both. Jack's trades have been terrible. Out side his very first trade every other trade we have made has net us almost nothing of value. Teams build through good trades and drafting well. We do neither. No one even wants to play in Seattle. The rest of the baseball world thinks we are a joke. Love Jack as a person, but its time for a change. Not just Jack, but every so called baseball guy employed by the mariners needs to go, at every level.
