Guillen Improvement

One reason the Mariners have the best record in the American league is the batting of Carlos Guillen. Guillen, you may remember, is the player that replaced A-Rod at shortstop for the Mariners. In his first two years in that job, he showed an acceptable batting average but a low OBA and little power. This year, however, he's hitting .318 with a great .373 OBA and a good .445 slugging percentage. I don't know who is responsible for the increases, but Bob Melvin probably deserves a nod. Judge Kirby has his thought on Guillen here.
