Dude couldn't hit the ball out of a little league field last year.

The replies simply show just how stupid the bulk of Mariner fans are and why the front office is never held accountable.

Imagine being praised after u hang a .428 OPS season... Rogers Hornsby had 7 seasons where his OBP was higher than Dee's OPS. Hornsby could literally have had a slugging % of 0 and outperformed Dee.

LOL Its absolutely mind boggling. I saw one reply saying it was going to be harder for the M's to make the playoffs without his veteran leadership and another criticizing the M's for Trading him. My God, these people.

If I were on an MLB team where a veteran was hitting for a .428 OPS and he came and tried to show leadership and give advice, I'd tell him to shove it straight up his ass and follow his own advice so he wasn't costing us so fucking much.

Exactly, they weren't fooling anybody.

The team got better as soon as he was gone. That's what happens when you dump the succubus.

The Mariners had two in Dee and Mallex, soon as they were gone, the players started playing like a team.

Putting those guys out there continually screams management was playing for the draft pick. As a player I would have been pissed seeing those bums out there.

I wonder how many people tweeted "Good riddance" in reply and either couldn't or got their comment booted. No way in hell did every fan responding say something like that...right?

I feel like replying but am afraid all those groupies will jump on me for caring about winning games more than rightfully honoring the patron saint of Mariner baseball.

Imagine being upset that the M's didn't re-sign a player who needed to sign a minor league contract to stay in baseball. He had a .482 OPS last season and put up -.5 WAR. On what planet is that worthy of another contract?

Great guy, nice smile are obviously FAR more important to fans than being a good baseball player. And people are surprised this team hasn't made the playoff in two decades.

That’s what Mariners fans do... they get this huge emotional attachments to mediocre players and then throw a fit when they don’t get resigned
