Comments on: Rumblings from the Meetings http://ussmariner.com/2007/12/03/rumblings-from-the-meetings/ 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: Catherwood http://ussmariner.com/2007/12/03/rumblings-from-the-meetings/comment-page-3/#comment-244726 Catherwood Wed, 05 Dec 2007 10:25:44 +0000 http://ussmariner.com/2007/12/03/rumblings-from-the-meetings/#comment-244726 That Tigers lineup is frightening. They're going to be scoring LOTS of runs, so even if Dontrelle has an ERA hovering around 5, he'll still win a lot of games by scores of 10-5 or so. And this points up where the Mariners have to go. The Tigers will win their division, the Sox and Yanks will win and get the WC, respectively, so our only way into the post season is to get by the Angels. We should be focusing on winning the West, and tooling up the team for that specific job. That Tigers lineup is frightening.

More meetings with the Mets should occur today. The Mariners could make an intriguing offer built around Adam Jones and Brandon Morrow.

But, there's this little thing called reality in which both he and I live. We've got some extra space if you'd care to join us. #99: If Bavasi can somehow work out trading a guy (Reed) twice, in addition to getting the Indians to give up a guy that Baseball-Reference compares to Duke Snider, then yea, I think I’d like how he thought too.

Sadly I think he remains a Mariner unless we swap bad contracts with someone. It was reported on mlbtraderumors.com that no one was interested in Sexson.

Really, you'd have to take on all the nuclear waste in Nevada to swallow the rest of those two contracts. #99 – I think if you suggested that the Orioles would part with Erik Bedard for Richie, Jerrod, and the worst 2/3 of the Rainiers outfield on KJR, they’d have to activate the seven second delay, because that’s profane.
