McLaren officially retarded

The season hasn't even started yet and I'm already convinced of his incompetence to run this team.   It appears the Mariners are more concerned about keeping their players who are out of options rather than fielding the best team possible.   The  mariners are not in the National  league, there's no need for a bench as deep as ours and there's two guys on the bench in Cairo and Jimerson who we don't even need.   Cairo is basically an older, slower version of Willie Bloomquist, and although I do like Jimerson, he just doesn't really fit on this team.  He's probably gonna get less playing time than Jason Ellison did last year, I mean other than an occasional defensive replacement and pinch runner, he's not needed.   Another pitcher would be much more useful to this team, as would Jeff Norton.   I also like Cha Seung Baek, but the  Mariners should just let him go to a team that needs him and put Dickey in the pen, I mean come on, the guy deserves it.   Jimerson and Baek should have been let go and Morrow and Dickey should have made the team.   I just don't understand it, but whatever.   We'll see how things go, but I just don't understand why you'd rather have two useless bench players who will barely ever get playing time over two pitchers that would be much more useful.
