I'm well aware Revere is mediocre, but Saunders is complete garbage. There's about as much chance of him taking Revere'd spot as there is Aaron Loup becomng the Jays 4th starter. I've followed the Mariners since I was a kid (2nd favorite team - was a huge Griffey Jr fan), and Saunders is nothing but a yearly disappointment.
