But McLaren had his reasons. He admits he was often saving Bloomquist for late-inning situations in close games

Or do you think Clements defensive is so bad that he needs another full year in AAA to develop? I think he is ready NOW to hit full time in the Bigs, what do we need more than a LH power bat?

Then have Vidro coming off the bench. He would be a great PH, expensive but good. That solves a few problems, LH power bat, keeps kenji fresh, makes the bench stronger.That way we have a good OBP guy coming off the bench in Vidro. Seems like DH/back-up cathcer is the perfect postion for Clement. What do you guys think? Wouldn’t it make sense for the M’s to rotate Clement and Kenji between DH and catcher?

If we just dig up the grass at Safeco and put down a rug, Willie could be the next coming of Ty Cobb. Over the last 3 years WFB is 21 for 56 (.375!) on turf.
