Should Jose Guillen be offered arbitration?
The Ms have until 9 p.m. on Saturday to decide whether to offer him salary arbitration. With the release of the Mitchell report potentially naming names, I guess there is a chance he may choose to accept if offered. I think they should offer arbitration, even with the chance he accepts but I am afraid that may send Adam Jones back to the bench.

Tough call.
(1) He won't accept

It scares me because I think
If we could put AJ in LF and keep Guillen, I'm all for it. But unless we dump Sexson it would never happen.
Not going to happen
Guillen accepting arb is almost the best possible scenario. The Mariners get the best lineup out of the deal, without making a long-range commitment to an OF on the wrong side of 30.

But you're counting on the M's
That will happen about the same time that corco quits drinking.
It's not the drinking, so much
It's not the players, so much
Corco's 19 (?)
The key word being "should".
Been there, done that
Just don't expect me to be any good the next day if and when I do.
I'm Irish.
Just kidding. I drink for pleasure, not competition.
I'm Irish too.
I'm about three hours out.
It's the holidays
I thought you said you could drink
Is that how you choose your beers?
Nope
That beer is fantastic.
So it's a financial issue,
It is a financial issue
I drink because that is the only way to play beer pong.
I drink because of this sense of community and bonding that forms between a bunch of drunk people.
I drink because it is so much easier to hit on beautiful women when drunk.
Drinking as about being with people. It's a bond and a great thing. That's why I don't ever drink alone.
And the most inexpensive way to do all that is by drinking Icehouse.
I'll give you that.
I'm getting a keg

How do you think bars get really good beer?
Most towns have a beer store (this is Portland's best) that can get kegs of pretty much anything you want.
My preference
Every thread is a beer thread.

If I actually manage
(so no, I'm not actually going to drink 36 cans of Icehouse. According to the internet I'd be legally drunk for like a week if I somehow survived that)
I don't much care what you do.

If there is, there aren't many.
I've been saying
Let me know at least 2 weeks ahead of time...

Ditto
sometime over July 4 weekend?
I don't think we all want to be arrested
Don't make Coach drink
Baseball will NOT suspend people
Not one.
The non-analytic positive is too big a can of worms - they won't touch it (and good for them).
Yeah...
well for someone like guillen
I don't think we should be worried about sending
If AJ is on the team but not starting,
You spelled "head" wrong
Yes
It also increases the incentive to dump Sexson.
yes, yes, yes

We should def offer salarb
Sanctions?

I asked this in another thread
Adam Jones or Wladimir Balentien.
Trying to settle an argument, and I said Jones, and its not close. Agree/Disagree?
On the topic, though...yeah, of course you offer him. At worse, he plugs in LF for Ibanez. Dbout it will come to that...I expect a nice draft pick for us. (I wonder if Boston gets a draft pick for us losing Guillen, since they seem to get 50 every year).
YES OF COURSE YOU DO
YES!
Worst case, he refuses, signs elsewhere, and we get a compensation pick.
There's no downside.
Unless we don't move Sexson.
There is still room for Guillen somewhere
by Edgar for Pres on Nov 30, 2007 3:10 PM PST up reply actions
Wait, I thought you were talking about
I don't think so.
We can trade Guillen.
Okay, I wasn't exactly sure how that worked.
Bavasi says he's committed to AJ.
Definitely
More draft picks for Fontaine = good
You can't lose.
