About Me:
I am an application architect at Microsoft working within the IT department. My passion is in making systems run more efficiently in a production environment. I have a wonderful wife and 4 great kids. It's a priority of mine to spend more time with them and so I don't get to watch or participate in sports as much as I used to. I love the Seattle sports teams, and my alma mater, BYU.

The Seattle Mariners finally released Sexson today, only a year after they should have given him his walking papers. I find the timing of the release pretty odd though since:
1) They are in the middle of a series with the Oakland Athletics.
2) The All-Star break is next week.
I would think they would of waited until next week, released him during the break and started the second half of the season with a replacement player getting called up. In any case it has been sad to watch him decline since the Mariners picked him up for the 2005 season. If you look over his numbers you can see how well he started and what the decline has been like.

I always liked Sexson. He came across as a nice guy, and he was honest about his struggles. Unfortunately in a team that is in as much disarray as the Mariners are it was far past the time to let him go. I sincerely hope Sexson is able to figure out his batting troubles and is able to make a comeback with another team.
Now if we can also release Jose Vidro we would be making progress...
