More Chances For Clement, Balentien

Two obstacles for playing time are currently being avoided by Seattle youngsters Jeff Clement and Wladimir Balentien.

CBS.Sportsline reported that Brad Wilkerson was given his unconditional release Thursday and Jose Vidro missed his third straight game with back spasms.

This is just the kind of action fantasy fanatics like ourselves want to see when we need an uninterrupted view of potential stars.

Even though he was sent to the minors, I thought Wilkerson might be one of the few threats to Balentien's playing time had the young guy struggled and Wilkerson somehow get hot in Tacoma.

Worry no more 'bout that I guess.

Now it would be super-sub Willie Bloomquist, not so spring chicken with a whack back Jose Vidro or...hahaha... Miguel Cairo taking any sort of AB's from the two youngsters.

Sweeet...barring the infamous player-to-be-named-later we've got some AB's ahead of us folks. Too bad this lineup couldn't produce a run in a charity softball event, but hey at least there's gonna be some hacks taken. Game on.
