Halladay to the Yanks Would Bring Destruction
Major League Baseball, as it has nothing to write about, has decided to provide pointless articles on such fascinating subjects as what Marco Scutaro had for breakfast and John Lackey’s favorite shade of blue. Needless to say, I wouldn’t advise reading this lame fan fodder. ...

Thanksgiving Thoughts
Well, A Happy Thanksgiving to you and all your beloved on this wonderful of holidays. One of my personal favorite days of the year. As we are sitting around mulling over the football games and tending to the family, I felt it my duty to give back a little on this day. Since this being award [...]

If We Do Trade Jose Lopez…
If We Do Trade Jose Lopez…
sodomojo.com — Assuming we don’t get a second baseman in return, which is quite unlikely, we’re obviously going to... need someone to replace him. In Geoff Baker’s recent article on the subject of trading Jose Lopez, he mentions both Orlando Hudson ... (more) If We Do Trade Jose Lopez…
The Times They Are A Changin’
Rewind three years. It’s the 2006 baseball offseason and “General Manager” Bill Bavasi has just signed Jeff Weaver and traded Rafael Soriano for Horatio Ramirez. The laughable Richie Sexson is set to play at first base, Yuniesky Betancourt at shortstop, Jose Guillen in right ...

Sample Size
Each team must make the determination on how to use each individual player to maximize not just their own set of talents but also to effectively work within the team talent base. Player A maybe an effective player in Center Fielder. However, should the team acquire player B who is a far more ...

Ackley to be Groomed for Second Base
Ackley to be Groomed for Second Base
sodomojo.com — Ackley was either going to end up in the outfield, probably at a corner position, or at... second base. Now we have our answer. Don’t be worried. Actually, if I were you, I would be relieved. This means the M’s like Saunders in left ... (more) Ackley to be Groomed for Second Base
Jakubauskas and Manuel Claimed
Chris Jakubauksas was claimed by the Pirates today, and Robert Manuel (whom we acquired from the Reds in the Balentien trade) was claimed by the Red Sox. Neither of them are a huge loss or going to be horribly missed, but it is a little surprising. Manuel had a shot at becoming a serviceable 7th ...

Some Stuff on Yusmeiro Petit
I realized that I never actually wrote anything about the Mariners claiming starting pitcher Yusmeiro Petit off of waivers, and even though it happened weeks ago, I feel like I should at least get some thoughts out about it. Basic stuff on Petit: He’s right handed, about to be 25 years ...

Knock Knock …
Anybody out there? Well lets wake up and shake the frost off. There is a crazy rumor of the Tigers sending Edwin Jackson to Seattle in a possible three team deal that could end with us sending Brandon Morrow out the door. This of course is simple speculation at this point in time. Do not ...

Statistical Observations of the Day, Volume 4
Statistical Observations of the Day, Volume 4
sodomojo.com — I’ll focus on guys whose names are being linked (albeit completely randomly) to the Mariners. All of... the following are true of John Lackey: He was worth 4.1, 5.6, 6.2, 4.7, 1.1, and 3.6 wins above a replacement level player in his 2003-2004 seasons. With the exception of 2008, his tRA has ... (more) Statistical Observations of the Day, Volume 4

Those Cannons Could Sink A Ship
First I don’t want to start anything. But, I am just want to point out my disappointed to the Mariners Blogsphere. I have yet to see any mention on any other site. Someone must acknowledge Jack Zdurencik own’s a premier sweater vest collection. Just saying … it’s a vest ...

Zack Greinke Wins Cy Young
http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=4663979 Felix finishes second in the voting. Greinke destroyed the competition, garnering 25 first place votes. Ah well. Felix will get his due next year. Too bad he’ll do it in a Red Sox uniform.

On Going After Edwin Jackson
Since this quote “Count the Mariners among the teams interested in Tigers right-hander Edwin Jackson. The teams have spoken about Jackson and exchanged names, but the talks “are not all that serious,” according to one source with knowledge of the discussions. Jackson, 13-9 with a 3.62 ERA ...

Exploring Every Free Agent Rumor I Can Think of
As is natural during the boring off season, rumors and ideas as to who we should sign have been flying – some of them good, some of them just plain awful. Some of them could be perfect fits, others would make absolutely no sense. Today, I’m going to take a look at every single one [...]

Finger On The Trigger
We are now at the point were we can all accept the shortstop position. Jack Wilson is now resigned and JJ Hardy is pretty much off the market. Yes, you can scream Aaron Heilman at anyone who will listen but the fact of the matter is that the Twins want him and won’t be giving him up. The ...
