Dom now .271/.896 Should be full time DH until Robles is back which could be a couple months. Yea sadly him and Raley dont play against lefties so Joe will take those abs. Joe had a decent game yesterday Damnnn it 2nd homer allowed all season. Canzone had a .712 OPS vs. Lefties last season. Joe had...

I'll go 90-72 with a run differential of +86

5 years or so ago, Jerry wouldn't have dreamed of trading Kelenic for an established major leaguer and we know how that turned out...

but the Mariners obviously have a different opinion. Yep, that opinion is he costs less and IF he becomes a good hitter they can puff their chest out about how he was home grown. Getting production out of cheaper players is a core part of the strategy. You may not like it, but that's what they're d...

Our #1 prospect is now hitless on the Spring with a .143 OPS...

No such thing as a sample size that's too small.

He's about three hits from being anointed as a 1st ballot Hall of Famer

I think I would, yes. Dan Wilson will play the aging vet who used to produce more than the guy who's never done anything, imo. Especially if he's owed millions. They'll want to see some playing time for their money. If Knizer on the roster means 10 fewer games where we see the backup catcher, we'll...

There is a time and a place for bunting. Bunting with two outs and a runner on second is asinine.

I agree, but is it that much worse than taking a walk on a close and likely hittable pitch? To me it is the same. Swing the damn bat!

If they want to use Cal at DH then one of the those guys will have to be on the bench obviously. It is total Frankenstein roster construction and if they would have just got one good right fielder they could have had another utility in Fielder but now they only have room for one. It's just idiotic ...

I think it involves the deadline but it's not deciding if you're going for it as much as extending the runway deal with your younger players. It isn't so much making a decision on a trade but delaying a decision into the season. And I think it's been how dipoto has been operating. He's tended to lo...

So another day of looking at Mariner news and seeing just pictures of crickets and tumbleweeds. Help me understand their logic. We pick up two veteran ball players at the deadline which pushes us to one game from the prize. We sign one vet and yet lose two others to FA. The front office cannot expe...
