Comments on: Dear Orioles http://ussmariner.com/2007/07/19/dear-orioles/ Seattle Mariners and general baseball discussion with David Cameron and Derek Zumsteg Sat, 21 Nov 2009 08:17:03 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: CouchGM http://ussmariner.com/2007/07/19/dear-orioles/comment-page-3/#comment-209972 CouchGM Fri, 20 Jul 2007 21:54:38 +0000 http://ussmariner.com/2007/07/19/dear-orioles/#comment-209972 #63. You guys are hilarious. I need to proofread my posts rather than get quickly back to work.... What I meant in 'whining' about Sexson K'ing with Bases Loaded, was more an observation about All Players (M's). Is there a study that says having a slumping or weak hitter (say..Ellison, WFB, ) just bunt the ball into play with less than 2 outs will provide better results than letting him hit away and likely strike out or pop out? It's a defensive approach and definately Not CW. Just wondering.... Thanks for the proofreading. #63. You guys are hilarious. I need to proofread my posts rather than get quickly back to work….

Not that it matters. #48:

Having Ibanez out there is killing what ought to be a team strength. 129: Especially in Safeco and Safeco’s LF. Having Ibanez out there is killing what ought to be a team strength.

There is nothing wrong with having two CF in the outfield. 125: Disagree. There is nothing wrong with having two CF in the outfield.

Would we get supplemental picks, or does that not matter if it's a mutual option? Which ‘type’ of free agent would Guillen be, if his option isn’t picked up?

His track record shows that Guillen was an exception not the norm. I agree we bought low on Guillen, but I don’t have that much, if any, faith in Bavasi being able to do that again.

I'd count Boston, New York (they're over .500) and Minnesota. 121, that is interesting, but consider this -there aren’t many teams in the AL that aren’t either battling us for playoff spots or below .500.

I just hope the front office will look at the potential in AJ and VB and pass on JG. OTOH, now we have two guys best suited for CF. Jones looked great to take over if Ichiro walked, but now that we (fortunately) still have Ichiro, AJ isn't as valuable to us as a corner OF. At least it's a happy dilemma. 119 – I agree with you.

You would? Hmm...I can see your point, but why don't we just accept that we bought low on Guillen, and figure we could do it again. I see the Guillen move as one of great savvy by our FO. That said, if the market is too steep for him, you let him walk as we have options. Ichiro will be there for years; AJ will most definitely be up next year barring disaster. If that third OF spot is a platoon btw Wlad and someone else, like say...Jeremy Reed, then so be it. Its the cheaper option, and one that would allow us to buy some help for the starting rotation. 119: Really? You would?
