What do you all make of the Mariners waiting until the last minute (well, the last WEEK, anyway) to announce their choice of backup catcher? Could be that they can't decide between them.. could be that it's insufficiently important to worry about... I reckon they're pushing other teams who need a backup catcher to choose their favorite-in truth, not much for the M's to choose, between Clevenger and Brantley, from all reports I've read- and offer a strong RH reliever, in return. (THat's also why the bullpen decisions are left unannounced- I expect Cishek, Benoit, Peralta, Zych, Nuno and Monty to make the squad, but a decision on Roach or Parker or AN Other is pending a trade of one of our backup catchers.
