[ulmax]

Unfortunately..murakami..is about.the biggest..bat. I see .right know.
And .
Santana ..
But .
Brandon..gustofson.writes an article that is.
About right .on Seattle..710..

And Seattle still need .at least..2.trades..
I would. Say..

 

[ulmax]

But tradeing. The good pitching away..
Is for .sure..
Not the answer ...to offensive..troubles

Trade the bad .line up .guys..
Then
Add..through...
Trade ..
And free agents..

 

[ulmax]

There are only. 9 .300..hitters.in.baseball..

Luis araz..
Ronald auna.
Freddie Freeman
Yandy diez...
Cory seager...and that's a problem.
Cody bellanger .who you can't count on..
Mookie betts
Bo bichette .
Shoguy ohtani...and sense a 2 way player..
Is to expensive...

 

[ulmax]

And there are .whole.page.of guys..who hit 260s...gone.are the days..of almost..
A full page of 300..hitters...gone. Is that.entertainment..value.is gone

[ulmax]

You have ruined..enertainment..

Now go lose money..see how that feels.

 

[ulmax]

So yeah..I still see .see murakami worth.
Going after..but ..not at the huge price..
That he would have been..
Had he hit. 300. Again..this year..

 

[ulmax]

Colby and .ty ..over on,..you tube .2b.eval.
Is.pritty good .
And a.hernandez..xnay..

I agree..with Colby..more .than..not..
Only.on Snell..coming...mostly.

That may just .be cuz I don't want to face.
The grim reality..

 

[ulmax]

I guess I was wrong .on murakami .
He signed .a .2 year deal .and wont be posted.till..2025...
And only .Astros ..and Yankees ..
Are able to .go for him ..

The Seattle Mariners have resigned Isiah Gilliam to a minor league contract. The outfielder had a .276 batting average along with 25 home runs last season. The contract includes an invitation to major league spring training.

I really liked listening to this guy (Bliss). He seems to get it.

I have learned from the last time they tried a "rebuild" that they are completely inept at how it should be done.

Give 'em a set of LEGOs, they're still stumped.

I will say the Phillies live rent free in the Braves heads.
O's getting their first taste of post season in quite some time so I except them back next year and play better.
Dodgers need to find some pitching.

Bryce Harper made a comment last night that the Mariners FO should take notes and learn.

"This is why you spend the money on players for these situations."

He's 100% correct. Last season the Phillies were dreadful at SS with lack of power/production at the plate and errors in the infield. Bring in Trea Turner and yes he started off real slow but once that light clicked back to his old self and helping the Phils get to another NLCS. He could be that extra added piece to get them a WS title. You have to spend money to compete for a title. Not stupid money like the Mets did but spend money on the player or players in a position of need that can make an impact.

 

[ulmax]

I'm willing .to.conceed..to.defeat...on.
Otahni..as Dh for the mariners.

And there was a report that he would not
Pitch..in..2024...
