It’s either plink-O or they are just throwing darts at a roster to decide how to handle personnel decisions.  How else can you explain designating Norton for assignment?  How? He only has 16 AB’s and in those 16 AB’s he has 7 hits (.437).  What indicates that he is the problem with the Mariners offense?  The guy has performed when given the chance this season.  There are a number of other players who should have gone before him.

Designating Wilkerson makes more sense.  I wonder if Bavasi has to write an apology letter to the ownership group for wasting so much money for basically nothing.  Wilkerson had a 3 million dollar deal.  Ouch.

Spring Game attendance stats, from here and here:

South Carolina: 31,125, Tennessee: 28,898, Mississippi State ($5 charge): 10,000, Ole Miss ($10 charge): 28,311, LSU: 33,624, Kentucky: 8,500, Georgia: 19,874, Florida: 61,000, Alabama: 78,200 (this was down 15%), Arkansas: 40,200 Auburn ($5 charge): 35,000

Washington: 9,000, WSU: 900, USC ($10 charge): 22,000, UCLA: 15,052, Stanford: 2,000, Oregon: 14,107, Arizona: 4,000, Arizona State: 5,000

OSU plays this weekend and Cal has no spring game.  I can’t find numbers on Vandy anywhere, but they can’t be worse than the 900 WSU brought out.  There’s no need to average them out anyway.  I’m ready to accept the scientific conclusion that Pac 10 spring game attendance sucks horse balls.

Why aren’t spring games as big a deal on the west coast?  It makes me sad that less Husky fans go to a free game than people at Mississippi State are willing to pay. 

He fills the need at Defensive Tackle.

He’s a load.

He’s a Husky.
