Will Wlad get playing time?

Will Wlad get playing time?

I'm sure he'll see some, but I don't think he'll play every day. Ichiro and Ibanez are obvious OF starters. CF belongs to Reed for now i think; Mariners want to find out what they have in him. Not a lot of Abs to go around between Johjima (has to play due to contract/ Japanese marketing), Clement, Balentein, and LaHair. I think Wlad could see maybe 4 or so games per week (out of 6). A couple at DH, one in the OF, and one at 1B(if he can play there....).

Why on earth would they cut a 1B/DH with a .612 OPS?

[Amazinz]

I think the Mets should sign him and see if he can close out games.

[Pogotheostrich]

I'm betting the Astros pick him up.

is Wlad gonna be full time starter?

is Wlad gonna be full time starter?

I read he and Clement will be sharing DH duties, so no.
