Comments on: Blackley out for 2005 http://ussmariner.com/2005/02/15/blackley-out-for-2005/ Seattle Mariners and general baseball discussion with David Cameron and Derek Zumsteg Sat, 21 Nov 2009 16:22:44 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: John http://ussmariner.com/2005/02/15/blackley-out-for-2005/comment-page-1/#comment-16421 John Fri, 18 Feb 2005 08:02:41 +0000 http://ussmariner.com/?p=2260#comment-16421 Dave, Does this cause you to rethink your proposed trade of Nageotte (and three others) for Austin Kearns? My feeling was that (after the 2004 season) we had three top pitching prospects (Hernandez, Nageotte, and Blackley), and would be willing to part with one of the last two--Nageotte--for the right trade. With Blackley on the shelf for 2005 (and likely on the shelf permanently), leaving us with two top prospects, are we still willing to part with Nageotte? (And leave us with one top prospect.) BTW, given their high number of pitcher injuries, if I were a young pitcher that the Mariners had just drafted, I wouldn't sign with them. I'd sit the year out and go back in the next year's draft. And also btw, re: # 24 - I don't think that the Mariner organization's injury history is significantly better in the Major League than their injury history in the minor leagues. Dave,

Wed, 16 Feb 2005 19:55:08 +0000 http://ussmariner.com/?p=2260#comment-16321 I have been on this bandwagon for a while now. After reading through some of this I'm even more convinced we are screwing up in the minors badly with our arms. Its all about conditioning, and conditioning right. JUST ASK ROGER CLEMENS!!!! With that being said. I HOPE LIKE HELL FELIX MAKES THE 25 MAN ROSTER OUT OF SPRING TRAINING. At least then he can work out with the big boys and learn some decent habits to prevent his arm from falling off. I have been on this bandwagon for a while now.

MANY times surgery isn't necessary. You want to avoid the procedure anytime ya can. Travis wanted the surgery last September because he didn't feel so hot about the way his arm was responding to rest. The first step for slight tears in the labrum is ALWAYS rehab.

We should all take up a collection and mail out Mr Caroll's book "Saving The Pitcher", as a manual for our clueless trainers.
