Mariners Sign Carl Everett

The M's have signed former White Sox DH/OF Carl Everett, to a one-year deal worth $3.4M, with a 2007 club option worth $600,000. The reaction at U.S.S. Mariner is unequivocally negative:
It’s a bad signing if you have any kind of sentimental attachment to the players who put on the uniform of your team.

It’s a bad signing if you like baseball, because Everett makes the game look bad. ...

It’s a bad signing if you believe that a team’s ability to get along plays any part in their success. ...

Eight of the article's 14 paragraphs start with "It's a bad signing". Okay, we get it, Derek. Lookout Landing says "...all I want to talk about is Carl Everett the baseball player, and simply put, he just isn't a very good one anymore. He's old, he's injury-prone, he can't play the field, he can't hit lefties...overall, he's just not very productive, particularly for a designated hitter."

Comments:
Bad signing, indeed.
 
Heh! Glad you noticed, "Bill".
 
Dang they're a chatty bunch over there on the Mariners blog ... 300 comments to Everett's signing.
 
Dodger Thoughts is running 200-300 on every single post, and if Jon leaves 'em up long enough, they're starting to clear 500.
