Mariners start packing for Spring Training

Found January 31, 2012 on Seattle Post-Intelligencer:
TEAMS: Seattle Mariners

It’s almost here. The baseball season is about to begin. Or, at least, Spring Training is about to begin. The Seattle Mariners have started packing up their gear for the trip to Peoria, Ariz. Practice itself won’t begin until Feb. 11, but all that equipment’s gotta get south somehow. From the official Mariners blog: Home [...]

AL West Celebrity Death Match: Pujols vs. Hernandez

Via NorthWest Sports Beat  |  January 31, 2012
Everyone Wants To See This One! In ancient times as two armies came to face each other in battle they would call upon their champion to represent them in a one on one battle to the death. The A.L. West is primed to be a battle field and in the third week of May the Mariners will call upon their champion, Felix “The King” Hernandez to face Jose Alberto “The Machine” Pujols...

Player Profile #98: Ichiro Suzuki | OF | SEA

Via Baseball Professor  |  February 01, 2012
Have we seen the end of Ichiro Suzuki as a productive fantasy outfielder? I’m going to say no, but we are definitely getting close. Ichiro hit under .300 for the first time in his career (.272) and posted his worst ISO (.064) in 2011. He’s also gone three straight years with fewer than 90 runs scored. That being said, he still stole 40 bases last year, his .295 BABIP...

Guillen returns to Seattle on minor league deal

Via AP on Fox  |  February 01, 2012
Carlos Guillen is returning to Seattle after agreeing to a minor league contract with the Mariners. The 36-year-old spent the past eight seasons in Detroit where he was a three-time All-Star and hit .308 in his career with the Tigers playing five positions: left field, third base, shortstop, second base and first base. Guillen started his career with the Mariners from 1998-03, playing...

Mariners have shown they are taking the long route

Via Seattle Times  |  January 30, 2012
Great to be back in Seattle and looking forward to spring training after a nice couple of weeks off in South Africa and France. As usual, the Mariners timed all of their big moves and non-moves for the moment I left, giving colleague Larry Stone plenty to do. I'll schedule next year's vacation earlier, so that the team doesn't leave you hanging in suspense all winter...

Explaining my position on the Mariners and 2015...again

Via Seattle Times  |  February 01, 2012
Some of you are livid with me for writing that I don't think the Mariners front office truly believes they will make the playoffs before 2015. You just can't understand why I would want to believe that. I've received emails from people suggesting I'm upset the Mariners did not get Prince Fielder. No, that's not it. My take on how the Mariners view their playoff...

Sluggers like Montero becoming more valuable as power declines in MLB

Via Seattle Times  |  January 31, 2012
One interesting twist to the Jesus Montero trade (or as it's known in New York, the Michael Pineda trade) is the premium that's starting to be put on power-hitting prospects within the industry.

Would Mariners have tried to land Brett Lawrie instead of Jesus Montero? You betcha

Via Seattle Times  |  January 31, 2012
Interesting report out of Toronto from old buddy Jeff Blair, who I used to work with all the way back in Montreal days in the early 1990s. Blair is pretty plugged in when it comes to the Blue Jays and their ownership, so I believe him when he says that the Mariners first tried to trade Michael Pineda to Toronto for third baseman Brett Lawrie. The Blue Jays are said to have declined...

Carlos Guillen returning to the Mariners – kind of

Via Seattle Post-Intelligencer  |  February 01, 2012
Remember 2001, when the Mariners were the best team in the country? I know, it’s hard to imagine that was only 11 years ago, since the current Mariners make it seem a lifetime ago. Well, a key member of that 2001 team is returning to the Mariners organization. Carlos Guillen, who played shortstop that season, [...]
