Series Thread: M's Homestand: August 2nd to August 11th

no I've not forgotten about Kobe kato
but he's not gitting at bats with Crawford.
at Tacoma..
so he is obviously..next year..

 

[wazzu31]

Definitely deserving of one... He's arguably been our best player since joining the team...

Offensively I don’t think it is arguable. It is just really smart to resign him. Dude loves the ballpark and doesn’t have a problem hitting there. The money honestly isn’t that bad if he flames out and becomes a 4th OF.

Jerry would never do it, but a guy they could use in the front office.

What did he really do? Don’t the Mariners have a pretty good international staff? I guess I don’t know cause I truly don’t understand the whole international prospect stuff works

 

[ulmax]

I wonder if Softy got that from me. I was the first in his tweets that brought that up. He still owes me for the tweet back in the day where I brought up sacrificing the Moose.

I have noticed that media guys use.some stuff. from our conversations .
and posts..
so we are ..part..of .mariners fan..nation .
ok.then....

especially .when they are .dryed up..
lololol..
witch means .sometimes we...are ahead.of the media .

They. Won't.cuz..he was a free agent ..
That they paid 25 mil .

Such a waste

You never have enough of these good guys. International players is where it is at. We have done well prospect wise, but outside Julio no many of contributing with us under Dipoto that I can think of.

Had a chance at Ohtani but FO fell about 500million short

Well recently the M’s have gotten quite a few guys who are “highly touted”. Not against it at all, that whole process is over my head cause isn’t it basically gambling on which 14 year DR kid you get into your academy down there?

Well and by all accounts Jerry was as the kids say too thirsty when it came to Ohtani the first go around. There wasn’t a chance they could’ve gotten him this go around even if they matched the Dodgers.

Yet some teams roll out international players year after year (Houston) while Seattle gets one per decade. I think there is more tan guessing going on.

Astros 35-20

it's a dead heat...for mariners and Astros..
one will go. the other..

will not

The Dodgers cut Amed Rosario yesterday. Crazy. For the season through 287 plate appearances, the guy is slashing .305/.331/.415/.746. A .746 OPS would put him second on our team behind only Cal Raleigh (excluding new comers to the starting lineup - Arozarena, Robles). Hard to believe there is not room for him on our team when our middle infield corps consist of Rivas, Bliss, Polanco, Moore, and Crawford.

there is room,..ya have to make room...
for a team .that needs offence,...
that room..would come..
with .
canzone down...220.hitter..
he's doing well...
but not .hitting.305...
it's a playoff..run...or.not..

rosario..could make just enough ..of a difference,

so if..they have .the oppertunity...
they.should....mariners.are.not...
1st...on the waver..wire .list..

and may need to be behind the Astros .
to get him...
they are 0.5,right now..

Seattle is..grass..
Houston is.much.like.tampa,..for.
playing surface.

5K's? That doesn't scare Servais off, but 2 HR's and you are out of the lineup.

He also plays RF and hits both left-handed and right-handed pitching better than Haniger and has a higher fielding percentage in RF than Haniger.

 

[ulmax]

put Rosario on the Astros .and it's.the.
same boost..
Seattle..would get..
the question.,..really..is..can mariners.
afford..
to let .the Astros ..get him..
.
I would say .not .

 

[ulmax]

and Seattle need to fly it's flag..
in Houston's most.promenent..city.spot..

double sized.

 

[ulmax]

if Mets..pick him up..
a team..that needs a boost..
then it won't matter..
