The deal will be made official if Guillen passes a physical Monday.

"A lot of players don't like to play in Seattle because of the stadium, but I only need health, and I trust that my numbers will be there at the end of the season," Guillen told Rojas, though he did not confirm the contract.

Guillen, 30, batted .216 with nine home runs and 40 RBI with the Washington Nationals in 2006 but played in only 69 games because of an elbow injury that required reconstructive surgery at the end of the season.

Guillen hit .294 with 27 homers and 104 RBI in 148 games with the Anaheim Angels in 2004.

Seattle would be the eighth team in Guillen's nine-year MLB career.
Probably a good pick up for the Marniers as long as Guillen's knee holds up, if he can he should have a good year and improve the marniers outfield along with hitting...

Thoughts?
