Aren't we past the point when those big changes were supposed to happen? All the Mariners have done is swap Nagoette for Meche and Bocachica for McCracken. While it's nice to see Q gone, it just highlights how foolish it was to pick him up in the first place. Bocachica is a replacement level player with a cool name, nothing more. So is McCracken too, but we're gonna pay him $2 million to do it somewhere else. Now the M's have their choice of do-everything-but hit utility guys with Bocachia and Bloomquist on the bench. Wouldn't it make a lot more sense to call up Leone and put him in the third and shortstop mix? As for the pitchers: I don't think Nagoette is ready, and if anything he's even wilder than Meche. I'll leave it to people much smarter than me how it is Meche ended up with a option left.
