From the Mariners' Web site

This is from the story on the Garcia trade from the Seattle Web site. I have highlighted a few interesting words.

Olivo will join the Mariners and serve as a backup to Dan Wilson, who is in the final year of a two-year contract.

When asked how close Reed is to getting to the big leagues, Bavasi said, "Real close. Sometime next year is what we would expect.

Guaranteed 10-time all-star Miguel Olivo can't even beat out Dan Wilson? Don't the Mariners know they are getting a 5-tool player. And the next Ted Williams can't even crack the starting lineup of the worst offensive team in the American League?
