Good first move for the new guy. Looking forward to seeing if Gutierrez can get back on track.

you got it, brad. On the plus side, now the Amazin's may have to listen to AC/DC every other game. On second thought, probably not, as setup men don't get a song played for their arrival. I'm sure their new egomaniacal closer will be more than happy to break with tradition and let Putzy get a song once in a while. My prediction - Putzy will hate being second banana. At least the Yanks get Blitzkrieg Bop.

Sure, he has a glove. But the chilly confines of Safeco Field will subtract at least 20 pts from his BA, making him serviceable at best. Mike Cameron-y?

wow, wow, wow- hold on a second. the mariners are getting a great player in endy chavez. sure, he was a utility guy for the mets, but he's great on defense. he will forever be remembered for his crazy catch from the 2006 NLCS: http://mlb.mlb.com/media/video.jsp?mid=200806202968151
