Happy birthday to former Mariners Luis Valbuena, Matt Lawton, and Craig Wilson

33

Most of us remember Valbuena as being part of the Gutierrez trade. Lawton and Wilson, though, are excellent candidates for most forgotten Mariners of the decade. Technically Wilson was never a Mariner as he just spent a few months with Tacoma, but people had been talking about him as a trade option for like five years, and yet I didn't remember that we got him in 2008. 2008! The 2008 Mariners got Craig Wilson on July 10th, and still they started Miguel Cairo at first base.
