Well, Jesus Montero being rated as the number one prospect...

So many questions! Were the Mariners ever really in on the Prince Fielder talk? Is there a possibility the fences will be moved in at Safeco? What is the plan with Figgins? Who will be the starting catcher?

Veteran right-hander Kevin Millwood will have a shot at making the Mariners' rotation this spring, according to Seattle general manager Jack Zduriencik.
When Millwood was with the Indians he won the American League ERA title in 2005 at 2.86. Wedge was his boss then. We'll see if he can re-create some magic.

The Seattle Mariners may stink now, but they could be the team to beat in a few years. Well, possibly … maybe … if all goes to plan down in the farm system. The Mariners have five players in MLB.com’s new list of the 100 best prospects, and those players gave Seattle the best score [...]

9/214. Seriously, if you’re upset that the Mariners “missed out” on that deal, you’re nuts. Huzzah for the Mariners not wasting that kind of money on one player.
