I'm telling you right now that the road to the World series runs through Yankee stadium! If the Marinners are for reall that's where their strongest challenge is. Forget the Indians or any of the others it's the World Champions will either be the Yankees or the Mariners. So it makes sense to have another lefty in the rotation.
Oh by the way Jack Perconte.....former Dodger and so was other notables like Stan Javier
