Mr. Onions, i'd suggest appealing to the circle to have a heart to to heart with the Mariners gm.  I've done so in the past and the request proved fruitful.  They are excellent with those persuasive heart to heart talks with uncooperative gm's and managers.  Im sure yall remember when terry francona had to take off for "personal reasons".  There was also Jim Leyland's "retirement".  Ron Washington's time off was actually spent in hiding rather than rehab.  There was no failed test.
