Just saw on High Heat it was Dec 12 2013 when the Mariners signed Cano' to the $240mil - 10yr deal.

9th year anniversary of that signing. Has made the Mariners gun shy ever since to pulling off a big signing.

I get not wanting 10 year deals, but they have to get over this bottom feeder strategy and reach into the piggy bank and make some $15-23mil a year signings over a 3-6 year deal when something presents itself that will vastly improve your ball club.

Maybe they will surprise us with a big signing or something these upcoming couple months... just seems like it ain't gonna happen.

I think they roll into spring training with pretty much near current roster with no big add ons.

 

[ulmax]

Yeah well.....
Down on the waterfront.

Guys get respect..from..what they..
Do..and..how good a job..
They do...

It's the same..in baseball..
Seattle has good pitching
But is gitting...dised..on how...good they..are ..ok.

It takes time..to build a reputation...

This is where Seattle is...
And they..need to continue..to build that. Reputation...
With quality...pitching..
Castillo..
Gilbert..
Kerby...
Ray,...
The next good pitchers.
Will be..
Hancock..or miller..or both..
That is only..6 guys..
But...see there...woo is on
His way..as well..
And..Snell..is..still.from Kent...and.fans would love.him
.to be a mariners.
If you..say..well..the mariners...need..an other.
Pitcher...Snell..would be the guy...even..if Gonzales..goes...bull pen.
Which...in national...league.there are a lot.
Of relief guys..that..can do.
What he does...and..maybe not..as good.....that said..

Flexen.would seem to..fit.
For San Diego...
A ground ball..pitcher...
Or.baltimore..for that matter...but.as a 5th..guy.
For San Diego...I can see flex as that...and remember..flex went..14..and..8..2years ago..that..is the..real..flexen..

 

[ulmax]

But flexen..needs to continue.to work on it..
Yes he does....

Would Gonzales..and flexen work.for San Diego..
I'm sure..they would..Gonzales.
Is prob...headed..for a swing..guy role..in the future...weather..it is for..San Diego..or whoever..flexen..prob for a 4 the or 5th guy role..

 

[ulmax]

So..that..is what it is..
And last year..
Drafted...
3 HS pitchers..that.mariners could add to..this year..
That is at least..4or5 years away..depending..

Some collage pitchers..would be good.and still a couple.HS..guys..with..extra picks..it should be possible...

2collage 2 HS,sounds good..
SS..
2b,
1b..
And a lot ..of.cfers...lolol

The next year..3b would.
Be on the schedule..but.
There are some good ones.this year..as well..

And thing change some times..by draft time..

 

[ulmax]

Yeah..the thing.is..marinets LEFt..
Handed relief..went back..
To Detroit..
You are ok..with Snell..
For about 20..to..25 games..who..will..do the other..ones...I suggest .Gonzales...as swing guy..
10-to 15 games a year ..

Yeah only..jedi .has the real...blue prints....

Blue prints..let me see..all..
The blue prints.,..

Huh...lololool

 

[ulmax]

If a team loses guys like.
Lewis..
Carlson...
.witch.they have.
Not lost yet...it's a matter.
Of what happens ..in baseball...as in ..life..

As the baseball,turns..

 

[ulmax]

Mobile Meyers.
And..
Thomes white are the cream..de..cream..of...hs.
Pitchers..
One could..fall to the mariners...these.guys are usually..takin..in the top.15....yeah...they..are..

But collage pitchers..usually...make it to the big league..faster...

And if you are rebuilding..
You need..those pitchers.
Yesterday.....

So..the mariners could have..a shot...
Yeah...maybe..

Chase Dollander..is awesome..
Rett lowder is ranked highly acc pitcher of the year,

Paul skenes..former.of air force..know...,LSU...is as awesome..
This guy...is of coarse..on my list.,as well.
..either..way..

But with.these..5 pitchers.
May all..be gone..or..the.
Mariners..just may..have a shot..at one of them..

 

[ulmax]

At prospects live...Thomas white.is..#22.…
Lhp..mariners..need some of those.,.lolol..yes I would..take him..there..lolo

 

[ulmax]

#51…Cole carrigg is still on my list..and why not..he can do..so maney things..

#46Maui ahuna.at Tennessee.

#76 Alix Mooney..duke..

#88...cole Foster..SS..Auburn..

Some of these guys..will.
Play other positions..by the time.they..get..to the magors...

Mooney may be the real.ss..the rest..could move..
But with pick.,29...and 30...pick the best..guy..

Agree it made them gun shy, but the thing with Cano was the Mariners overpaid but they were the only competition for Cano at anywhere near that so they bid against themselves, then screwed the next year after I can’t remember which when they didn’t sign Nelson Cruz. The Mariners being smart is a good thing, but “being too smart” for your own good isn’t and that’s where they seem to be.

Though I definitely am cool with them not touching that contract with Boegarts. But Swanson is worth it
