I kind of wonder why he and the Mariners are even bothering. He only hit .214 last season and is not terribly productive any more. I would get it if he were getting close to some career milestones like 700 homers or 3,000 hits but he isn't. He is not likely to catch Willie Mays in homers nor is he likely to get into the top 10 in RBIs.

He still hit 19 HRs, so he might be able to help a little. It's a nice story to see him finish his career where it started. Though it would be nice to see him retire sooner than later.
