The Griffey and Sweeney Solution (Or, How to Keep Ichiro Happy)
This isn’t really very complicated. It’s a 4-step process.
1. Fire Alan Cockrell, hitting coach.
2. Hire Ken Griffey, Jr. as hitting coach.
3. Sign Mike Sweeney to a 1 year, 1.5 million contract.
I’ll be honest. I’m not the sort of guy who buys into team...

Writing is easier when you don't have to think up an intro.
In terms of things we know we can measure pretty well, Rob Johnson the defender doesn't stand out, at least not in a good way.
His error rate, for whatever that's worth, is about average. His four in 754...

In this post, Olney introduces the idea of John Lackey joining the Mariners. Exciting! Lackey is great and would help restore some of the team smelliness we lost with the departure of Justin Thomas. Here is the phrasing Olney used in delivering his point:

Exploring Third Base Options for 2010
With Adrian Beltre likely leaving, the Mariners have a gaping hole over at third base for the 2010 season. It’s almost certainly going to end up being a downgrade from what we’ve grown accustomed to, but we do have some options. One option that wouldn’t require any...

Like Vlad in the comments to a fanshot on this subject (and thanks for taking care of that for me; it's been a busy workday), I wonder how long newly acquired lefty reliever Justin Thomas will still be on the 40-man roster. The Pirates claimed him off waivers...

Guess I should talk about this, since the Mariners seem to be showing considerable interest. I understand I'm late to the party, but then I never expected that the M's would still be hovering around at this point in the sweepstakes.
It's easy to see why Chapman'...
2009 Review: Franklin Gutierrez
So I’m not sure if any of you guys knew this, but I really like Franklin Gutierrez. I mean, he’s just incredible – have you seen him play center field?? It’s amazing! He covers more ground than any outfielder I’ve ever seen! And how about that smile? Okay...
2009 Review: Carlos Silva
There’s not much to say. Carlos Silva is a pitch-to-contact pitcher. The Mariners had the best defense in the majors. Expectations were low.
And expectations stayed very, very low.
Silva posted a 5.97 FIP in 30.1 innings this year. His K/9 was 2.97, his tRA was through...

I’ve been thinking about how to make this post for the last week, and while I have my own opinions about how to construct the 2010 Seattle Mariners roster I don’t think I am way off basis here. My ideas at times may have seem strange and I admit some of my posts in...

This little nugget about Felix Hernandez caught my eye:
"Felix will be an affordable, young, dynamic budding superstar of a pitcher in 2010. And his home is at the moment unknown. The Mariners don't have the talent to contend against the Angels in the AL West, and it appears...
