Our man on the Mariners beat Danny Ferguson breaks down the Rule 5 draft in this piece. What could it mean for the Seattle Mariners? They protected Carlos Triunfel, Francisco Martinez and Chih-Hsien Chiang from it, so they must think highly of them! The success rate of this move is practically nil, but then again Jack Z could find the next Josh Hamilton that way.

After another woeful season, the Seattle Mariners showed once again that they simply couldn't hit the baseball. The shame of that sad fact hides another terrific season by their starting pitching. Felix Hernandez wasn't as dominating as he was the year before, but he was pretty darned good. Doug Fister showed how good he was once he was traded to the Tigers and rookie,...

Jamie Moyer hasn’t pitched for the Seattle Mariners since 2006 but he still owns one of those stoic Seattle homes that end up being turned into crazy contemporaries by tech dorks. There’s lots of wood. The normal – you make your ham and cheese sandwiches just like everyone else – kitchen with all the upgrades. You also get one of the worst theaters we’...

When Jack Zduriencik arrives at the Winter Meetings in Dallas on Monday, he'll have his shopping list like every other general manager. But Zduriencik is preaching patience as well, knowing much of his talent base with the Mariners is young and needs time to grow.

In talking with folks about the 2012 roster, it seems evident that a lot more people are comfortable playing Mike Carp regularly next year than there are folks who would be okay seeing Casper Wells get a majority of the playing time in left field. This strikes me as weird, because, well, just look at their career numbers in the big leagues:

Some 20 or so years later, The Kid is the one greasing the wheels for a fame that his offspring might have achieved on his own accord anyway. High school senior Trey Griffey was named to the Under Armour...
