Griffey could earn $3.9M from Mariners in 2010
SEATTLE (AP) -- Ken Griffey Jr. is being rewarded for his leadership and seniority.
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...

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...
It’s A Shame All Baseball Players Aren’t As Fascinating As Ian Snell.

2009 Review: Michael Saunders
Michael Saunders, made his professional debut on July 25, 2009 and while this was his rookie campaign I’m surprised to see the amount of criticism displayed around Seattle about his play.
Those of you that are not new to the site should know of my love of this young left fielder...
2009 Review: Mark Lowe
It’s been a bit of a roller-coaster for Mark Lowe these past few years. He dominated his way through his rookie season, and then promptly had arm surgery that knocked him out for most of 2007. His sophomore season was, frankly, bad.
But, finally, Mark Lowe found his mojo in 2009...

A Good Piece on Kenji Johjima
I’ve been at school all day, so I never really got the chance to go into detail about the Kenji Johjima news, but I don’t think I could have said it better than Graham over at Lookout Landing anyway. So, if you’d like a reminder of how lucky we were to have Kenji Johjima, I [...]

I’m at school, so I need to write this very quickly.
