Hadn't settled is a big phrase. I'm still pretty convinced that the M's plan to start '13 with Guti in center and Saunders in LF.
Wedge and Z love Guti. Every 2-hit game he has makes me cringe, to some degree, as I think it just cements in their mind the value they see in him.
But I'm with you, and have been for a long time. Saunders is the man for the job.
Before Saunders became the ugly Saunders, I thought he was a pure platoon .250 hitting 20-22 homerun hitting guy. And that was purely playing against RHP.
Now the Rubber Band Man (Remember that song, Doc. I always think of the Championship Blazers team when I hear that. I think they played that song whenever Robin Jones, as backup center, would come into the game) has the skills and the ki to whack lefties, too. He's beating the ball to all fields, as well. Used to be a classic Yankee stadium type of lefty.
He's graceful in center, now projects to 25+ taters AND another 35 doubles, and is durable. Man, just pen him in.

Are those two musical references one too many?
