The Pershishable Food Item known as John Parrish will likely be forced out of his Mariner's uni just a few weeks after putting it on when he switched clubhouses in Baltimore in a bizzaro move made by Bill Bavasi. Immediately following the move, every M's fan I know questioned the move as I did, asking why would we need a fourth left-hander in the bullpen with an era of nearly 5 and a half? The answer to that question was supposebly that we would somehow benefit from his veteran presence. Uhhhh no. We didn't. And the only one who may have been insane enough to think that was Bill Bavasi. It's unclear whether Parrish will be DFA'ed or head to the minors, but atleast he won't be ruining anymore games for us. My thought is that he will be DFA'ed, and consensus seems to be that Rick White, who's 39 years old, will be called up from Tacoma in Part II 0f Bavasi's hell-bent attempt to bring in a grandfatherly figure to tell war stories to the youngsters in the bullpen.

Good Riddance....
Totally ridiculous move. I'm no fan of John Parrish, or Rick White for that matter, but it's a sideways move. White will be no better than Parrish, and as long as you're going to make room on the 40 man roster, why not call up somebody who could help this team, like Mike Morse. Or get rid of all the deadweight while you're at it, like Rene Rivera, Arthur Rhodes, Sean White, Bryan Lahair, Oswaldo Navarro, and/or Michael Wilson.
Why this team continues to carry such crap on its 40 man roster is beyond me.
