Fixing the Mariners

Here's a thought--the Mariners need a second catcher (well, they need a full-time catcher--we'll work on that), and they definitely need someone in the lockeroom to solidify the team. What (or who) they need is Benito Santiago,.

He's tanned, rested, and ready. The Pirates let him loose a month ago. Defensively and offensively, he's a better bet than bringing in the flavour of the week from double-A. And if anyone is giving grief in the lockeroom (which is alluded to in the PI and Times), well, he'll take care of that as well.

And now he's available for waivers price.

Hard to see where this can go wrong.
