Don't think they will go into spring training with Segura and Gordon both still on the team. They won't trade Segura so Gordon is as good as gone.

I like both players but I also recall hearing they had beef.

I have to wonder if Gordon was a bit more banged up than we thought. His first and second half splits show quite a discrepancy.

First half: 87 G .283/.301/.346 22 SB 6 CS
Second half: 54 G .241/.265/.354 8 SB 6 CS

I know he got put on the DL for something and I can't recall what it is, but you can really see the slump in his numbers after he got put on the DL.

If you look at his stats from that perspective it appears whatever happened to him never completely healed that well:

March 29 - May 20: 45 games, .304/.330/.386 16 SB 2 CS

After returning from DL:

May 31 - Sept 29: 96 games, .250/.286/.331 14 SB 10 CS

You notice a serious discrepancy across almost all major statistical measurements. It's especially reflective in how much he 1. Attempted to steal and 2. How effective he was.

Broken Toe which can maybe explain the stolen base part of it but not other parts of his game. I wont rehash it again but if they were batting him 8th or 9th instead of 1st it would have helped.

Seattle Mariners: Kevin Kiermaier, Mike Zunino deal would make sense for M’s, Rays

Thoughts???

Kiermaier makes a ton of sense for the Mariners and I'm for moving Zunino while he even has a little bit of value.

Thoughts? Might as well keep Z. My Oh My...taking that long read on so many different options for the off season leaves me more dizzy than I usually am. LOL I guess I'd feel a whole lot better if I had some half ways decent confidence in Dipoto. He's a risk taker and a gambler no doubt, but I don't think he's vert good at either taking risks OR gambling. I don't see him taking the M's much farther than his 3 seasons have so far. It irritates the hell out of me that ownership (mainly Stanton) hired his ass in the first place and then he brings along his inexperienced side kick (Mr. nice guy) Servais.....and they both get contract extensions?? For fucks sake, that alone should tell us all about what/where this organization is (isn't) going in this life time. Hockey is where it's going to be for Seattle Need NEW ownership for the M's b4 we get a sniff of post season play. 17 years of the same old shit with slightly different smells each year. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out THIS organization wants money.....not a winning team. Smoke n' Mirrors and Bobbleheads is getting really old don't ya think?
GO MARINERS...…

TAMPA BAY RAYS GET
C MIKE ZUNINO, RHP NICK VINCENT, OF ERIC FILIA & RHP JOEY GERBER

cordero of SD fits for mariners ...and cuz they have heredia

and mariners need
high A 1b
AA LHP..starter
low A RF/1b.....have any of those????....no...go fish...lol

 

[ulmax]

arrow at that trade..outside your mind

aside from that....mariners pitching is not gitting any younger...which is a need
also bishop could be comming up to AAA to fill the last

Rhh..==CF so just wait and no need

 

[ulmax]

also cordero is 24 yo...with an up side...i will have to droooolll this time....LOLOLOL

 

[ulmax]

which is why i would go gordan(Gold Glove2b) for cordero..and maybe a 1b/rf or 1b at high A guy

then leake for villanuava..and maybe??

 

[ulmax]

dosnt have to be villanuava on leake..some minors pitching would do as well

 

[ulmax]

dont act like the mariners will give up vincent..all that easly either...cuz they will keep him and still be happy
and with voggy going to dh...maybe..falia would be the bakup to him potentialy

but go ahead.....and dream

dreamboat annie........lolol..LOL

 

[ulmax]

but aahhh ill take milb free agent .....ryan weber... and put him #4 in the mariners rotation
unless they put him on the 40 man

 

[Duders]

lol- you should be working for the M's organization as a "scout". You probably know more about what's out there than anyone else on their payroll.

 

[ulmax]

and ahhhh ill think about vincent for this guy...this guy is not all that good anyway...
