The Seattle Mariners signed the great Rey Ordonez to a minor league contract.
Ordonez, who hasn't played in the majors since 2004, is a three-time Gold Glove-winning shortstop who played with the New York Mets from 1996-2002. A career .246 hitter, Ordonez also played one season each in Tampa Bay and with the Chicago Cubs.
In 2003, Rey started off the year by hitting 3 homers and driving in 22 in 117 at bats for the Devil Rays, while maintaining a .316 average. Had injury not struck he probably would have had his first 100 RBI season. He will thrive in Seattle and should challenge Jeter and Reyes as the best shortstops in the majors.
