Give it a good couple of wacks with a wrench or tap it with a hammer if you can get one down there, quite often starters can still be "good" but sieze mechanically. The tapping is actually a mechnical term called mechanical agitation... its to loosen up what ever is siezed if in fact it is... if its not, you are not hurting anything.
Dont be afraid to give it a good blow or two, and then try and crank it, if it starts, replace the starter. If it works and you dont have time to replace it right away, you can continue to beat the **** out of it for a bit before it completely dies... couple of weeks or so...

for future reference if the start clicks with absolutely no hesitation, its not the battery, alternator, or relay. If it stutters at all its one or two of those things.
Your starter is getting power, so something is just not wanting to turn... you should pray its not something internal... it probably isnt.
