And...done.

SEATTLE -- Seattle Mariners Executive Vice President and General Manager of Baseball Operations Bill Bavasi announced today that the Mariners have signed free agent outfielder Brad Wilkerson to a one-year contract. Per club policy, terms of the contract were not disclosed.

"The addition of Brad to our club gives us a number of different options," Bavasi said. "He is a solid left-handed bat who can play all three outfield positions and first base."

Fielding overall

Tangotiger's scouting report isn't wild about him (admittedly small sample size), but has him classified as a 1B so perhaps the comparison is less relevent.

As a direct comparison, though, he scored 41 overall compared with just 27 for Sexson and 30 for Broussard. Sample sizes for ballots were utterly different, though.
