JESUS MONTERO RUMORS
Will the Montero-Pineda trade turn out to have been a huge transaction of nothingness?
Last night, I'm chewing on McChicken parts in a White Plains doofuss bar, where all the TV screens but one are tuned into the eternal Knicks and Rangers hell worlds - (too painful for my delicate system.) I'm watching the tube where YES - the Yankees version of Fox News Channel - flashes a graphic of Michael Pineda, the great beached whale of Tampa, and I try to imagine...
My oh My! Top play of the week for the Seattle Mariners (video)
Goin’ Yard
The Mariners are officially rolling.
May has been very good to us fans so far, and with the Mariners taking down Oakland on Sunday afternoon, second place in the AL West is now becoming more of a reality than it has been in a very long time.
Pitching has been great. Runs are being scored. And defensive gems have been key.
Three things you look for in a winning baseball...
Seattle Mariners continue to struggle with White Sox
In all of Major League Baseball, only two teams played seven games in the first seven days of the season: the Oakland A’s and the Seattle Mariners. And, unlike the A’s, the Mariners played all seven on the road. So, after this quirk, where did the Mariners stand after a trip to Chicago? The Mariners won Friday in extra innings, and then followed that with some heartbreak...
Mariners Jesus Montero listed on Miami PED list
Troubles ahead?
The Seattle Mariners have been fortunate enough to never have really been implicated by alleged steroid use or PED use throughout their history. Aside from a 2005 season that saw three players suspended for PEDs (Jamal Strong, Ryan Franklin, and Mike Morse), Seattle has brought natural talent to the field that, at least prior to 2003, was very competitive in the...
Mariners have indirectly helped Jesus Montero become hitter Seattle needs
The season no one expects
Seattle may not know the best fit for Jesus Montero, whether it is behind the plate catching, or as the Edgar Martinez (DH) of this Mariners team. One thing the Mariners can count on is the 23-year-old’s bat in the lineup.
No, Montero did not have the year everyone expected after his guest appearance with the Yankees in 2011 (4 HR’s and .328 BA in 69...
Morales Trade Creates Small Window For Montero
The Mariners and Angels completed a slightly surprising but ultimately sensible trade last night, swapping left handed starter Javier Vargas for 1B / DH Kendrys Morales. Vargas gives the Angels a reasonable innings eater to fill out the rotation, one who will benefit from Angels Stadium’s run suppression and the team’s strong outfield defense, for a hitter whose opportunities were...
Can the Seattle Mariners reach .500?
It was a good chase for the Seattle Mariners, but it looks like time is running out for them to finish at .500 for the 2012 campaign. A seven game winning streak in late August pushed the Mariners to within 3 games of .500, at 61-64. Since then, the Mariners have gone 9-14 against a tougher schedule, teams pushing for the playoffs. For the Mariners to get to break even, they’ll...
Mariners select Mike Zunino with the #3 pick in 2012 MLB draft
IN the 2012 MLB Draft today the Seattle Mariners held the #3 overall pick. They chose Mike Zunino the hot catching prospect from Florida.
Jesus Montero is going to have to find a new role on the Mariners ballclub. Or else they've got a life-long DH.
Mike Zunino
6'01" 220lbs
DOB: 03/25/91
He's a leader with power.
We wrote this about him earlier this...
Seattle Mariners offense starts clicking
As we go deeper into the MLB season, you get a feel for teams. The Seattle Mariners slumped into last place in the A.L. West, mainly because of a lack of offense. But as this week has shown, teams can still surprise. After putting a five game losing streak behind them, the Mariners won three out of their next five. More surprising, in each win the Mariners scored double digit runs...
Visa issue affecting Yankees trade
There has been a delay in finalizing last week's blockbuster trade between the New York Yankees and Seattle Mariners because Jesus Montero has had difficulty leaving his native Venezuela to undergo the required physical exam, a major-league source told FOXSports.com.
Montero, 22, has been waiting for a passport or visa issue to be resolved, the source said. And now Seattle ...
