I know he's been a lightning rod for a lot of critcism about the Mariners. I didn't find as much to complain about his abilities, as I did the mind boggling fact that the M's FO and management seemed to believe that he is so much better than he actually is. Player evaluation? Meet your poster boy... If we have in fact seen the last of WFB in a Mariner uniform…um…meh.

I've read your blog. Unless the sarcasm of this post is meant to indicate that you think Bloomquist was not a useful player off the bench this season, we're not disagreeing about anything.

An OBP lower than SLG is rare; 88 points lower might conceivably be an MLB record.

For what it’s worth, Willie has given us one of the greatest batting lines in baseball history:

.279/.377/.285

I don’t think people realize how bizarre that is. An OBP lower than SLG is rare; 88 points lower might conceivably be an MLB record.
