Mariners 2023 - 2024 offseason thread

[ulmax]

As ..if they have anything..Seattle..
Wants anyway..
Do..they have .a 300..hitter .no .
Do they..have .
A 270..hitting..dh .no..

 

[ulmax]

Seattle has..
Locklear..
Cole young..
Windash..20.hrs...
On the way..
So..go .as...if..
Somewhere..
i.will.not trade.the pitching..away..
This close..to..having it all..

 

[ulmax]

Fan nation .
On Blake Snell..
walking by some .dawg fans..

They..said..play for the.mariners..

He said..come..get me...
That's the perfect..response...good.job.
Blake ..

If Seattle..ignores .its.own...what. good ..
Are they..

Neither..
Conforto..or..
Snell...

Well .seattle.likes to work.
From the top..down...(the fans).
Maybe ...we.could ignore..
T-Mobile....
Phone ..man .

 

[ulmax]

I got.ignored..and face pounded..into..
The gutter..
Repeatedly...
So.i decided..to go..elsewhere..

 

[ulmax]

I just need.to.say this .as much.
As I needed..to.say about..
Snell..
It's not..really..there .choice..
Snell..or .
Mariners..
It's what .they..must..do..in there.own.
Interest....
For each side .
That will .get..done

 

[ulmax]

Fan.nation..is wrong..way wrong..
The mariners do .need to acquire..
A starting.pitcher..

There.obvious.interest.in.yamamoto.
Shows that..

...trade.gonzales
And hold on to..the rest...

Hit fan..nations...face .into.the curb..repetedly..

Then..on.ignore..t-moblie..mode..

Locked On boys were saying around $200M or more. Hard to believe.

Just curious cause I don’t really know how to feel about. Everyone says he is great, obviously I’ve never seem him really pitch, but it just seems like a huge risk. I’m not risk adverse but just don’t see the different between giving a huge contract out to him vs giving out a huge contract to one of the huge free agents Seattle has missed out on. Yeah the last few years of a monster deal will most likely not be worth it but Ichiro and Ohtani are the only Asian players (can’t comment on Senga yet) who IMO earned their full deal. There is an argument for Darvish, but to me, when he was pitching against the Mariners I never thought the M’s had no chance. Most of all the other big contracts dudes seem to either struggle right out the gate and develop or start hot then struggle. Maybe I am Mariners centric and have blinders to but that’s how it seems all Japanese or Korean players have been for the Mariners at least outside Ichiro.

 

[ulmax]

What the mariners..do not..need..
Is fan nation..

Mariners.dont.need.to..spend..that.much...
But if that. Is..the budget..
200mil..
Is for a contract..for a player..overall...

The media..talks..that.way.
Witch.means nothing..
Until.you put it in a year..
Format.

..25 mil a year
8years.unless.there is..
A signing bonus

Baseball.money..is.guaranteed...money...

My.take..they(.the media..
Are not qualified..
To..talk .about..money.
Colby..is more..qualified..
They went to school..to write...weather..they can..or.Not).I don't know if they..
Can.do.a logic..test..
Or....math .

 

[ulmax]

The above for.yamamoto..
Cuz he.is 26..yo..

so mariners .
Would lock.him in..till he was .34.

Snell would.not be that long..
4.to.6 years..
He is 30.yo.

.100.mil.to.150mil..
Basicly..
Signing bonuses aside.

 

[ulmax]

Players .should.not be all .that eager..
For contracts. .over.5 years .either .
In witch..
The economy..and money .to be made.
Could go up..
Agents..are more greedy...than .ball.players..

..they make..pct..of said.money...
So more years really.only works..for them
Like Scott .borus..

 

[ulmax]

Basicly..Seattle..does not.want.an other.. cano..in long.term..contracts.

.that don't.
Really..
Work..for the player..or organization..

Seattle..albatross..white..right know..
But..
The theory..was sound..when..Jedi..signed him .
I don't.consider..it..a mistake..
I consider .it .an..unfortunate..catastrophy...
The same thing..happenend to..
Yankees..
With player..1b..bird..not long .before
It happend.. to.the mariners

 

[ulmax]

The player.bird.was simular.to.
White ..
6-4..6-5...
I have to question..1b.that.tall..
Who have to do..the splits ..
For the.,.stretch..at..1b....

I would rather .have a 1b..6-0..
To..6-2 .

But.i prob .am .out on.a ..lim..here..
But..
Ok .whatever

Maybe.white..could.3b.instead..
No splits..
Certainly may work.for both sides..
And just .in time .

I just read a headline on him from a big writer saying he could win a Cy Young right away. He is only 25. With that said, I have no clue if he is legit for the states or another over hyped Asian pitcher. My stance is simple, I will take anything that even remotely looks like an upgrade no matter the position because the idea of us building a complete team is gone. Go for an All-Star staff and hope for 3 runs a game scored.

 

[ulmax]

If white.could..3b. as well.defeceivly..
As he does .1b.
Well .then .mariners .have.found..
A 3b..
That strikes out. A..plenty . .though .

Kikuchi..was .over..hyped..
Not this guy..
Yamamoto..is..lagit..
Imanaga..maybe .a bit.better..than..
Kikuchi..


But .a pitcher..who..is
5-10..beggs..the question..
Of.how much..power..can.

He leverage..off.the mound

Not saying they.cant..
Just saying .I question.it.

 

[ulmax]

Japan..baseball .is getting.better..
Not staying the.same...
So...
There stars work..here..as well..
At this point..

Kikuchi .
Was. Questionable..even in Japan..

I'm.go.with..
Yamamoto..
Or Snell..
But.mariners definitely need..an other.starting....pitcher .
Even.with ray .
Back...
They.still.need..miller..
Who is almost..the.best.guy..
For...a 6th.pitcher...
I would..
Almost .rather..trade..
Hancock...
Who.should do.fine..
At.AAA..and..
Mlb .this year...

You always need .that .extra pitcher..
Always .

 

[ulmax]

My rotation using Snell......as..any pitcher..

1 Castillo..
2 kerby..
3.snell.
4gilbert..
5.ray..(miller ).

6.miller..
7.dollard..
8..woo..but woo.is a bull..pen.guy.yeah..i know..

But then..makes.it possable.to.trade..
Hancock..

Woo .is to valuable .to .trade..I cant do it.
