Three months into a $4 million, one-year contract, Everett has been the Mariners' do-right designated hitter. His teammates and manager hail him as a steadying presence on a last-place team.

 

"Carl's fit in real well here,'' Hargrove said. "He's pushed his teammates in the right way.''

 

Within days, Everett had joined Eddie Guardado as the cackling crackups on an otherwise bland team.

 

Since then, Everett has taken all of his teammates to dinner. Before home batting practices, he has made sure to playfully tease the same three early arriving waitresses who work the prime seats behind home plate.

 

Not exactly a brooding malcontent.

 

"I learned a long time ago you need to judge people for yourself,'' Hargrove said. "Carl's been nothing but a positive influence on this team.''

He was a model citizen in Chicago, imo.

 

The only place he had major issues in was Boston.

This is great stuff to read. The only time lately where I was mad at him was when I was at the Twins/Mariners game bragging to Twins fans about how good of a team player he was, then he was caught napping on that triple play.

YOU GO T-REX!!!!!!!

So being a steadying presence on a last place team, and fitting in real well on a last place team is a compliment?

 

Your the best bad player in the league.

Real intelligent post.

I'm glad his teammates like him. I wish the best for Jurassic.

Since when did flirting with three waitresses make somebody a model citizen??

So I guess he bribes all of his teammates by buying them dinner. Nah jk, good to hear about Jurassic. He is a good guy.
