you guys are off base on this one. it's a good hire...might not be the age or skin color that you are looking for, but a great baseball man.

I'm willing to bet that Armstrong and Lincoln presented only 3 names to the owners, and we can all guess which name was left off the list.

When you are running the baseball equivalent of "A Chorus Line" or "Cats" down at Safeco, you don't rock the boat by hiring potential stars. You just fill the cast with generic, underwhelming choices, and watch the sheeple keep lining up to buy tickets, pay parking, scarf garlic fries, etc. Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

USS Mariner pro? maybe with a bunch of conditions attached. but i'd be more inclined to say optimistic or hopeful.
