Making A Choice
Willie Bloomquist and Jose Lopez are at opposite ends of the spectrum.
This decision would be absolutely a no-brainer for a good MLB franchise: the 20-year-old who mashes AAA, goes into your lineup the next year. But for the Mariners, the decision is gut-wrenching, even a year on. As we write, the Mariners don’t KNOW whether Jose Lopez will start at 2B. C’mon now! You have the ridiculously-talented young hotshot … against the utility infielder who plays the game right.

Baseball Contraction
When the politicians get involved, contraction gets tougher.
Remember Contraction? The prospect that baseball may simply contract and eliminate two teams as a solution to those teams' stadium and financial problems has reared its ugly head once again. There is a significant difference this time. The issue was not raised by Bud Selig in threatening a city during negotiations for a new stadium. Oh no, this time it was raised by the Governor of Minnesota as a threat in a battle over a stadium for the Twins.
