Guess It’s Not Just a Subluxation (Note to McLaren: Wilkerson CAN Hit Lefties)

    Mike Morse is out for the season now after his ill-fated dive caused a shoulder dislocation and torn labrum–quite a bit more serious than the initial diagnosis of shoulder subluxation. While this is a horrible turn of events for Mike Morse, coming off one of the best spring trainings in the history of the Mariners and essentially re-establishing himself after almost fading into oblivion, maybe it will allow John McLaren to give Brad Wilkerson a chance to play every day and show him what he has shown every other manager he has played for: As I have stated several other times, Wilkerson CAN hit lefties.

Or, maybe McLaren can platoon Wilkerson with Willie Bloomquist.

Let’s pretend I didn’t just write that…

I guess there is one other option–bring up Wladimir Balentien. Not a bad option, but not really a good one, either. I think Wlad is still a bit raw at this point. No, let’s make it Wilkerson’s job to lose for now.
