Could we actually have a fun team to watch next season

[D-train]

So, where are you going to put them? Are you keeping Randy and Ward or letting them walk?

Keeping them? LOL Yeah I'm am sure the M's will out bid the 29 other teams for Randy and why would you want a 33 yo noodle bat blocking Laz???

Weird post Bill.

Ward hit 37 last year, so he may have just had a bad season and could be at that level again. And with the pending lockout and possibility of salary restrictions, I can see them waiting to sign Randy....just remember he is 4.0 WAR player for each of the last 3 seasons in our ballpark ... you and others complain constantly about young players not being great immediately. Look at how Laz has struggled when he gets to a new level, he will struggle a lot, like his 1st 800-1000 AB's, in the beginning of his ML career. Meaning no disrespect, but when they were handing out patience, you said, " I am not sick, where are the hot blondes?" Bringing essentially 3 rookies onto the team, Colt will have more exp, is going to be tough on the fans....unless they talk to Seth first, and he will lower their expectations in less than 2 minutes.

If Ward or Randy are on the team next season I will drive across the mountains and buy you dinner and drinks and or beer. Limit $1000.

Sure but they will just bring in bargain bin stop gaps on one year deals. I guess Ward would qualify for that. Depends how he does the rest of the season. Not a good start....Now a down to a .523 OPS at T Mobile.

btw They are going to wait to sign Randy because of Salary restrictions??? You think a salary cap will affect us in any way??? Meaning no disrespect you are out of you mind. lol

Maybe we should have called him up instead of trading for Taylor Ward. At the very least we should have called him up instead of that Stuart Fairchild. For all the good that scrub is going to do we might as well have called up Morgan Fairchild.

I think if they wait until September to call him up they don't burn an option year.

To me that's farsighted. Risking a playoff spot because of something five years from now. I can actually see it making sense with Anderson as he's a once-in-a-generation talent, but not Arroyo.

Agreed, but that is the Mariner way. This is an ass backwards organization.

1st of all I am almost positive that you still burn an option if you call a guy up in Sept. Or are you talking about starting his clock??? Burning options have nothing to do with 5 years from now.

To be perfectly honest, I might not even know what the hell I'm talking about.
