Comments on: M’s Promote LaHair, demote Hulett http://www.ussmariner.com/2008/07/17/ms-promote-lahair-demote-hulett/ Seattle Mariners blog and general baseball discussion Fri, 10 Feb 2012 01:19:43 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: ajn007 http://www.ussmariner.com/2008/07/17/ms-promote-lahair-demote-hulett/comment-page-1/#comment-290902 ajn007 Sat, 19 Jul 2008 07:50:59 +0000 http://ussmariner.com/?p=5509#comment-290902 Dave I think your assessment of Brian will be accurate, but you are being extremely pessimistic. If you are going to state Lehair should be given up on or not brought up, I would expect a player who should be brought up to be named or an article on why they should part ways or trade Lehair. I think LeHair should be brought up and given an opportunity to play because you can't build to the future without investing in it. Not to bring politics into baseball, but its like saying we shouldn’t drill because it will take 3-4 years to reach market i.e. we should roll over and give up attitude. This same thought process is what I see stemming from this post. Dave I think your assessment of Brian will be accurate, but you are being extremely pessimistic.

Divided over 67 games remaining, Vidro needs to average just over 5 PA / game. Even if he starts every remaining game, our lineup doesn’t turn over nearly often enough for that to happen.
