Roy Corcoran has returned from his lengthy DL stint from a stiff neck ineffectiveness. He’s registered three scoreless (and more importantly walkless) innings for Tacoma during his rehab assignment. To make room for him on the 25-man roster Rob Johnson was placed on the bereavement...
Flipping Aardsma

| Comments
| Comments
It wasn’t long ago that David Aardsma was acquired from the Red Sox in exchange for a fringe prospect (at best) as another piece of spaghetti to throw at the bullpen wall. 30.1 innings later Aardsma has a 1.34 ERA to go with 11 saves and 34 punch-outs. He’s finally...

Bedard scratched with shoulder inflammation. Fan-freaking-tastic. Brandon Morrow is taking his Saturday evening start.

I’ve been worried the past couple of weeks that Bedard would hurt himself and erase his trade value before the team could move him. This doesn...

Garrett Olson was extremely lucky last night. The majority of his outs came on deep fly balls and hard line drives that found gloves.
The ball has been hit in the air over half the time an opponent makes contact against Olson this season. It’s the highest rate of his career...

Morrow’s roller coaster ride
Back during Spring Training the way the Brandon Morrow situation was reported made it sound like Morrow was having a lot of trouble with his diabetes while in the rotation and felt that the team needed him more in the ‘pen than in the rotation...

#2 - Dustin Ackley, OF - UNC
Ackley was clearly the best available player in the draft once Stephen Strasburg went number one overall. You probably know all you need to about Ackley by now, but he hits from the left side of the plate, makes great contact and will draw plenty of walks...

A reader emailed me a question that I thought would be worth discussing here for everyone’s benefit.
I was watching UNC over the weekend (The first time I saw Ackley play) and watching his swing it looks eerily close to Jeremy Reeds swing. If we are going to take him with the...

Buy, Sell or Stand Pat
It’s easy to get the impression that GM Jack Zduriencik wants to get this team to the playoffs ASAP, which is great. He’s been smart and aggressive and turned the second worst team in all of baseball into a .500 team and an AL West contender with...

The Mariners signed rehabbing LHRP Tyler Johnson to a minor league deal over the offseason. The Mariners went into the season without a lefty in the ‘pen thinking that Johnson would be able to join the team sooner than later.

Fox Sports’ John Paul Morosi:
So, I asked him the simplest question that came to mind: At some point, would he have interest in playing for the Mariners?

Most of the talk surrounding Erik Bedard this season has been about when he’ll be traded, what team he’ll be traded to and who the Mariners might get in return. It’s standard procedure for just about any free agent to be, but especially for a top of the rotation...

As you probably know, the Seattle Mariners are severely lacking in RHSP depth, especially once Phillippe Aumont and Brandon Morrow went over to the darkside (aka bullpen). AAA Tacoma’s Gaby Hernandez and Andrew Baldwin don’t look like they’re going to turn into...
