Comments on: Winter Meetings, Day One http://ussmariner.com/2007/12/03/winter-meetings-day-one/ 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: Adam S http://ussmariner.com/2007/12/03/winter-meetings-day-one/comment-page-2/#comment-244507 Adam S Tue, 04 Dec 2007 18:33:06 +0000 http://ussmariner.com/2007/12/03/winter-meetings-day-one/#comment-244507 Re Erstad. Right now the Mariners have two major league outfielders on the roster -- Ichiro and Jones. They should be talking to any major league OF who isn't signed. Even if they sign OF of choice and move Ibanez to DH/1B, they need a 4th/backup OF. Whether you think Balentin is major league ready or not, you can't believe sitting him on the bench in the majors is the best thing for him. Re Erstad.

The Japanese fans should be able to make up some great chants to go with his name. I hope he does well.

Surely the Mariners could provide at least this in a trade and be willing to take on his contract. There is your bonofide starting LF. Now taking whatever Steve Philips says with a grain of salt is another thing. As per Steve Philips: The Pirates are talking about trading Jason Bay to the Indians for Kelly Shopach and Cliff Lee.

Looks like Detroit will get a run for its money as the most dangerous city with more the 500k population. DC ranks 2nd on the list by Morgan Quitno Awards.
