If anyone is still checking this thread.

IIRC, a few years ago, the team said that partial packages counted as that fraction of a season. So, it would take about 5 16-game packages to make one “season ticket sold”. But who knows, maybe they’ve changed that.

There is some news on a Mariner. Do you think this guy is an Ichiro fan?

That should have read “primary OF backup”. Bloomquist could cover CF, Morse could handle the corner positions.

Morse as the primary outfielder? Even if he could handle it defensively, wouldn’t his .200 SLG be a little low for a corner outfielder?

I’m curious about about a spot on the bench for Petagine.

Can he play any other position besides first? I keep seeing Dobbs get most of the PT at third with Beltre gone. If that last bench spot is between Morse, Dobbs and Petagine, it would probably help Petagine a bit if he could play left field or third. It seems so far that he has been limited to first base in the games thus far.

Jason Churchill seems to think that its a good bet that he will hit better than dinoman (and thus could steal some AB’s as DH) in his scouting report on Prosepect Insider.

Anyone else want to comment Petegine’s chances of making the team?

Those green caps clash horribly with the new teal.

Eeaaggh!

Here’s the thing:

Lawton’s last two years runs created: 5.21, 4.77 Lifetime: 5.26
Everett’s last two years runs created: 4.14, 4.53 Lifetime: 5.61

Everett can’t play the OF any more.

BTW- Randy Winn’s 3 years in Seattle’s runs created (not including SF): 5.24, 5.03, 4.53

Lawton is basically a poor man’s Randy Winn. There’s really no reason why we couldn’t have put the money we spent on Everett towards the difference between Washburn and Millwood, and gone with Morse as the primary OF. Heck, we could have spent money on another bench player.

Urge to rant rising…

OK, the St. Patrick's Day M's caps? Not working for me.

Baseball hasn’t been clear as to whether infractions under the old system count as infractions under the new system with regard to repeat offenders.

But beyond that, there are vastly many substances players can use that avoid detection.
