Something i just saw on yahoo

A Seattle Mariners scout attended Monday's game to watch Florida Marlins left-hander Dontrelle Willis, who allowed four runs in 6 2/3 innings in his best start since the All-Star break.

Miguel Cabrera plays LF....

No he doesn't

He did, but that was two years and 30 lbs ago.

Well

We don't seem to have a problem playing defense deficient LF right now...

by Robert on Jul 25, 2007 10:48 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

Just imagine Cabrera as DH.

My god would that improve our team.

Yeah

Miguel Cabrera ate LF. And Joe Borchard.

Just say No to Dontrelle Willis.

These pretzels....are making me thirsty!

I say trade Navarro for him.

He can play first.

The phrase

"four runs in 6 2/3 innings in his best start since the All-Star break" should be some sort of signal to said scouts.

Mariners scouts

Aren't the dumbasses. Just the people they report to.

Except Bob Fonatine.

I think you mean Maddox.

Which one

Yes.

But in this case, Frank.

No, not Frank Maddox.

He handles player development. Bob Fontaine is basically the commander of all the scouts.

I dont get it

I will not make jokes in my sig. I will not make jokes in my sig. I will not...

Maddox handles the players in the

minor leagues and makes sure they're developing to their highest potential. Fontaine orders who and where the scouts should scout.

Not what I meant

I'm trying to figure out why you answered:

"Except Bob Fonatine."

"Mariners scouts aren't the dumbasses. Just the people they report to."

Were you trying to say Fontaine isn't a dumbass or that Fontaine, as a scout (director), is a dumbass?

I will not make jokes in my sig. I will not make jokes in my sig. I will not...

by TIF on Jul 25, 2007 11:36 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

I was trying to say

that Fontaine isn't stupid.

'Cept for that dude

who thought Soriano was finished caused he couldn't get the ball above 87 while pitching with the flu.

How do we know

That wasn't just the FO's determination? Or Hargrove's?

I will not make jokes in my sig. I will not make jokes in my sig. I will not...

I seriously hope we don't

make a panic trade for him since, really, the only other pitcher we were scouting, Jose Contreras got bombed today.

OH god

who allowed four runs in 6 2/3 innings in his best start since the All-Star break.

Because we need more guys like that.

by chrisisasavage on Jul 26, 2007 5:54 AM PDT reply actions 0 recs

in the NL no less

by chrisisasavage on Jul 26, 2007 5:54 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

LOL

Bill Krueger would absolutely trade Adam Jones for Dontrelle Willis. KJR is AWESOME!

by Trent on Jul 26, 2007 9:54 AM PDT reply actions 0 recs

I'm so petrified that a deal like that is

going to go down.

by Katal LM on Jul 26, 2007 9:57 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

Be more petrified

that if it goes down, a lot of people will like it.

if they did it right i would not be all bad

Not that I'm advocating for this, but I think if the FO gave the Marlins, say Reed and Feierabend and they just rehabbed him for a year, I would not really be pissed at the front office.

Everyone but Ichiro makes an out everyday
