<DIV>Visionary Mariner Fans:</DIV>
<DIV> I personally would have rather had them keep Bob Melvin and use the saved $$$ to pursue CARLOS BELTRAN. Can you imagine Ichiro and Beltran as the leadoff and no. 2 in the lineup??? </DIV>
<DIV> What a fantasy!</DIV>
<DIV> Oh well, I guess Hargrove is OK too. As long as they still pursue Beltran that is.</DIV>
<DIV> Best,</DIV>
