  Solid point.  The Mariners are a disaster and need to turn things around.  The contract they gave Johjima was a joke too.  Get rid of Ichiro and Bedard and bring in some young blood.

Published 7/17/2008 by Dave at U.S.S. Mariner
The P-I decided to do a big baseball section today with four Mariner-centric pieces. A quick rundown: Jim Moore: He wants to trade Ichiro. I tried to talk him out of it. I failed. Art Thiel: He wants Lincoln and Armstrong to step down. Keep beating that drum, Art. John Hickey: He wants the M’s to be more like the A’s, though his analysis of why the A’s are good misses most of the real points of why the A’s are good. David Andriesen: He wants the M’s to cut Jose Vidro. We all do.

The P-I's Jim Moore thinks the Mariners should trade Ichiro: Nothing against Ichiro, but isn't it time to blow this thing up and start over? Realizing they had no shot at an NBA championship, the Sonics dealt Ray Allen to Boston and began a process that will someday turn Oklahoma City into a perennial contender. When you blow things up, you don't hang on to your best player, especially one who will be 35 in October. You don't let the player's popularity get in the way. If you're truly serious about winning, you forget about the marketing consequences, ...

...   Not just because it gave me the chance to watch good baseball (caveats: Jose Lopez plays better defense than Dan Uggla and Josh Hamilton probably wouldn’t get into double digits if that home run derby was in Safeco Field).  It gave me the chance to realize that even Mariners baseball (and by association, Yuniesky Betancourt) is good.  Sure, I could harp on the team for not being as awesome as the A’s, or call on Yuni to stop swinging.  I could suggest that the M’s trade Ichiro or (god forbid) trade Yuni to the Dodgers for Andre Ethier and ...
