on horrible cleanup hitters

More on the delicious Mariner offense:  in a short piece about the all-time worst hitters in the clean-up spot, both this year and ever, 5 Mariners are mentioned!  The fact that we do win, with this offense, is kind of amazing.  I should acknowledge that things are much much better since we put 4 rookies into the starting rotation, and we now have rookies at 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and LF as well.  We’re not good, but no longer staggeringly, historically bad, and way more fun to watch!  That offense, from April 2010 to July 2011?  Very, very pungent and one for the record books.
