In fact, I hate Everett, too, for being in Snelling's way. If that is the reason, then I hate the man more than ever. In fact, I hate Everett, too, for being in Snelling’s way.

Nothing more. I think Snelling’s promotion is being held up by Hargrove’s loyalty to Everett.

Snelling was a priority for Bavasi back then. Not anymore apparently. If Snelling gets hurt we've still got Choo ready to go. And then Dobbs. And then Erubiel Durazo or who cares.

Or even get into the Everett vs. Snelling thing, I agree he should be getting his AB's at the big club. I was just wondering if in your opinion that the M's might still be waiting to make a move (and might wait awhile) on him becasue of his injury history. For some reason I can just see them thinking that a veteren "Professional" hitter (thier words) at DH is a less risk than bringing up an injury plauged farmhand.

Jimenez looked good early and fell apart. Snelling hit one out. Portland has a beautiful stadium. And I like their announcers better than the M's.

Most likely a pitcher-Harris? But isn't he on the dl and you can't dfa someone on the dl, right?

A frequently overlooked fact is that snelling is allergic to the Safeco Field Grass, and so he can easily sneeze, pull a muscle and be out for 3 weeks. Thus, the odds are higher in Seattle than in Tacome. Not to mention the off-the-field possibilities are endless in Seattle, whereas in Tacoma, they are very very limited. Not true.
