Clement Not the Answer, but a Start

With the stuggles of the 5-8 spots in the Mariner order, Jeff Clement should be called up right away. He's tearing it up in AAA Tacoma and is a smart hitter. Fortunately, word is he'll get the call up this month. Read on! (and register for the site and join the community!)
