That is sure good news for the Mariners. Now watch the owners hire someone like the GM of the Supersonics.

In their first game since firing their general manager, the Mariners have shifted Ichiro Suzuki to right field on Monday.
Let the hijinks begin. Ichiro, a Gold Glove winner as a center fielder last season, will be making his first start at his old position since 2006. The Mariners desperately need more offense, so they'll try making their best player less valuable by playing at him at a position at which it's easier to find offense. Makes perfect sense to us. Willie Bloomquist is getting the start in center tonight. They'll probably put Kenji Johjima at first base next.

And the M's have lost their minds!! The firesale starts tomorrow.

I can buy that move if they were putting something different or new in centerfield, not recyclables. Looks like the incompetency still lingers.

They are moving Joh to 1B to probably do two things

1) Call up Clement for good this season
2) Finally release Strikeson (Sexson)

Balentien has played some CF in Tacoma but its miminal, Reed has also taken grounders at 1B and will play some CF. They have considered moving Ichiro in the lineup. But the Firesale will start pretty soon. Im pretty sure of that one. But they cant get much with this roster. Its frustrating to be an M's fan.

Ichiro in CF and Balantein in RF looks pretty damn good to me. The move doesn;t make sense.

I like Balentien's arm in RF but hes hitting .198 right now. So that may have something to do with it too.
