Missed this in all the good feelings

When the Mariners signed Ken Griffey, Jr., they needed to add him to their 40-man roster. To make room for Junior, they had to release someone. I haven't been following the story closely enough to know who that was...Until now.

It turns out that Mike Wilson ('05) was the releasee. He was signed back very quickly.

Two days after being released to make room on the 40-man roster for Ken Griffey Jr., the Seattle Mariners have re-signed outfielder Mike Wilson.

Wilson, 25, was the team's second-round pick in the 2001 draft, and is a power hitter in a minor league system without many of those.
