Mr. Chaves, By most accounts, your reputation among
pitching coaches in the organization is second to none.
People talk about your great rapport with the guys on the staff, especially Felix, and your willingness to listen in an attempt to make ...

Felix left tonights game with “tightness in his
right elbow”. That’s about the worst news possible. Now
we just hold our breaths and hope like crazy, because without Felix, rooting for this team is about as much fun as having your ...

Once the euphoria of the realization that Ichiro
is sticking around, and will probably spend his entire
major league career as a Mariner wears off, we’re going to see the questions begin to arise - is Ichiro worth $20 million a year for his age ...

Okay, so, obviously, the initial reaction to the
potential Silva signing isn’t very positive. But, I know
a lot of people still just look at innings and ERA and say “he’s not bad - what’s the problem?” However, as your ...

From Larry Stone : The Mariners were clearly
not thrilled with the detour before opening a three-game
series against the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday. “To tell the truth, I’m not excited to go to Cleveland, but we have to,” Ichiro ...

Via Geoff Baker : “Chaves gave me a
report,” Hernandez said. “On the internet, they say when
I throw a lot of fastballs in the first inning, they score a lot of runs. I tried to mix all my pitches in the first inning.” ...

Odds are, you’ve probably read a post by
Derek or myself where we rail on the ludicrous
pricetags for free agent pitching. The salaries have been so far out of touch with reality the last decade or so that the smartest teams have almost ...

I know, our fanatical Ichiro devotion here at
USSM taints our judgment of all things Ichiro. But
I want to take a second and point something out. McLaren is the manager of the Mariners. He made a comment about Ichiro being capable of stealing 80 ...

The results of my last couple sim seasons
has been bothering me, since it diverged so far
general opinion and from what I thought it would be. I decided to look at this in a lot more depth. I used the ZiPS projections for 2008 and SG’s quite ...

As we’ve talked about before, there is a
large contingent of Mariner fans that want to see
Ichiro get traded in July. With the team falling out of contention (yep, I’m pretty much ready to throw in the towel), I expect these people to get ...

Now that the season is effectively over, we
can turn our attention from the daily matchups of
the next game to bigger picture analysis. Today’s subject: Adrian Beltre. Longtime readers will know that we’ve never hid our affection for ...

The four teams in the League Championship Series
have been set - Cleveland vs Boston, Arizona vs
Colorado. If everyone postseason tells a story, then so far, the story of 2007 is the dominance of the new school of baseball executives. Theo Epstein ...

For the fifth year in a row, I’m
putting out an offseason plan - sort of. Each
of the last few years , I’ve offered up suggestions for offseason roster maneuvers based on players I was in favor of acquiring, encouraging the team to ...

Every year, teams wander into free agency with
money to spend and a desire to improve a
specific area of their teams. Every year, a few teams end up giving huge amounts of money to the best guy available that winter because, well, he was available, ...

Press conference at two. Adam Jones, George Sherrill,
Chris Tillman, Tony Butler, and Kam Mickolio for Erik
Bedard in the most anti-climactic trade in the history of mankind. So, now that’s official, and practically everything that could be ...

What an interesting ride that was. Two and
a half years ago, the Mariners hired Mike Hargrove
to take over as the field manager for a team that was trying to find an identity. At the end of the 2005 season, the Mariners created an ...

A quick recap of what’s happened so far,
leading up to tomorrow’s deadline. Brewers acquire Scott Linebrink
for trio of arms I like Doug Melvin a lot, but he paid for what Linebrink was and not what he is. None of the guys he gave up ...

Time is not on my side, so I
won’t be able to go into as much detail
on this as I would like, but with the Bedard rumors picking up steam again, I figured I should put this out there. What follows is my calculations of the value of Adam Jones ...

We’ve heard from Ichiro’s agent. They entirely deny
that the comments were “as reported” in Sankei Sports.
