Mariners Sign '08 First Pick....Finally

[love_that_reefer]

Mariners signed RHP Josh Fields, their 2008 first-round pick.
Fields is believed to have received about $1.75 million. He was drafted as a college senior and he's 23 years old, so it shouldn't be long before he's ready to help the Mariners as a reliever. It'll probably be 2010 before he's a candidate for saves, but as little as the team has in front of him, he's a deep sleeper for this year.

About ****ing time. All that over $1.75 million? What are the Mariners doing these days?

They were making sure they had enough to cover Bill Bavasi's severance pay.

They paid Bavasi? To do what? Look like Mr Clean?
