Yo .... (its) Adrian
From Art Thiel's Seattle P-I.com article of March 18
"Our surveys show fans don't identify with players now as when they were on a first-name basis. Certainly, they haven't developed love for Jose Guillen and Jose Vidro. There's only a little bit of love for Jose Lopez. It's starting to happen for Richie Sexson and Andre Beltre."
-- Chuck Armstrong, President of the Seattle Mariners
===================================
Ummm ... Chuck .... ? Speaking of first names, Mr. Beltre's first name is Adrian, not Andre.
(boy am I hoping it was a transcription/editing error in the article, rather than a goof from the team president!)
Thanks to Alex Carnevale of Baseball Prospectus for the original quote citation.

This only confirms my suspicions that Seattle is where mediocre players go to die... http://coralrae.mlblogs.com/coral_/2007/01/where_mediocre_.html#comments
