It's offical

Coach Owens is the GM

I actually might consider that.

While Olerud sucks, he might actually help with the glove…

This is Graham's fault. He can't buy jerseys ever again.

I have a Sherrill and a Blackley jersey.

My autographed ball collection:

Snelling, Blackley, Nageotte, Madritsch.

I think any Rainiers player should RUN from me.

I'll trade you a Craig Anderson ball for the Madritsch one.

Heh. I’ve got Reed and Adam Jones from autographed ball night.

The Sherrill ball eluded me, though…

are we overreacting a little bit?

I don’t think this is THAT bad of a move.

FREE JEREMY REED!!

It's a terrible move. He's going to be 33 next year. Catcher's don't last.

That's a good point as well.

Plus didn’t Kenji have a really heavy workload in Japan as well?

terrible seems a bit harsh

I’m not saying I like extending Kenji, but this team has done dumber things.

He could still be traded at some point, although knowing the M’s, I doubt that happens.

Well if you enjoy a .720 OPS coming from the #5 spot in your lineup, enjoy this exstension.

Seriously, he’s a dead-pull righty in Safeco field who is a catcher and going to be thirty-fucking-three next year.

The likelyhood of this?

Somewhere between 0 and 1%

I dunno

they were willing to bench Dan Wilson for Ben Davis in 04, Ben Davis just chose to flame out

I can see it happening

Determined, Jonesing Commentor

But Dan was what, 36?

And they hadn’t just signed him to a three-year extension either.

Oh I'm sure Kenji is our everyday catcher well into NEXT season

at this point, but maybe then they give him time?

Who knows.

It's not a bad move

I have little problem with Kenji on the team for another three years, it’s just fucking pointless. We have no need for Kenji

Felix Hernandez may be The King, but Justin Upton is a GOD.

Rotoworld sums it up nicely.

“The Mariners are set to sign Kenji Johjima to a three-year extension, FOXSports.com’s Ken Rosenthal reports.
Well, then they might as well call up Jeff Clement and make him their DH right now. He won’t have a future at catcher in the organization with Johjima locked up through 2011. This could prove to be the biggest blunder yet from Bill Bavasi, which is really saying something. Johjima has been just terrible at the plate, and has looked at least as bad as the numbers (.200/.268/.246) suggest. Signing him through his age-35 season has the potential for disaster. “

Still not as bad as the Vidro deal.

Say goodbye to one of these three:

Tex, Griffey, Clement

Teix. Griffey's a sure M next year

I could support this.

Out on a limb here:

Does this maybe mean that they are really high on some other catcher in the system, and want to transition Clement to 1st or DH (what a waste). And if that’s the case, why is he catching more days than ever down in AAA?

I DO NOT UNDERSTAND!!

I like midgets more than I should.

by Thingray on Apr 25, 2008 1:13 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

I understand

Kenji = veteran who doesn’t suck, and is liked by the fans, therefore we must keep him until he is hitting .210/.211/.300 and there’s no hope of a bounce back.

I'm frankly a little shocked if it's three years.

I could see a one year extension just to have some insurance if Clement didn’t work out, but not three.

it just has to be on-topic GTE

Good point.

I would tread lightly then until we get official permission.

I’m gonna go do something else for a few hours and come them come back and read the hilarity.

I'm not 100% sure

But I believe retarded Mariners moves are unofficially included in the GTE agreement.

So if Joh is signed to an extension

does that mean Clement is on the trade block? (seeing as how, following the Joh logic, an Ibanez and/or Vidro extension must be imminent).

I put on my robe and wizard hat.

C Kenji

Balentin or Clement

is traded for a fungable relief arm at the deadline after Rhodes goes Rick White on us.

Forgetting EOF, Jimenez, Woods, Feierabend, and probably RRS too.

Hmmm

1. Ichiro - CF
2. Lopez - 2B
3. Ibanez - DH
4. Beltre - 3B
5. Clement - 1B
6. Griffey - LF
7. Balentien - RF
8. Johjima - C
9. Betancourt—SS

I want Tex as much as the next guy, but I don’t think the M’s have much of a chance.

“As an organization, we view quality Major League catching as a scarce commodity,” Bavasi said. “This extension allows us to feel very comfortable with our catching depth for the foreseeable future.”
