I feel so warm and fuzzy whenever we get a chance to post Richie FB photoshops

It reminds me of a time when Big Richie was our obvious go-to guy for the longball. Seems so, so long ago these days.

I shouldn't be knocking Bavasi since his pops just died...

...but ain’t it just like him to make an utterly inexplicable/inexcusable move for every decent one? I mean WTF? Why now of all times to extend Kenji?

by esoteric on May 1, 2008 6:51 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Ownership mandated? What, Nintendo demands more Japanese players?

I’m actually not entirely averse to overpaying slightly for Japanese players – I like the Mariners’ international flavor a lot, actually – but at some point it just becomes self-immolatingly stupid. The Sasake extension being my favorite example.

Considering last year he was 101 with a line of .287/.322/.433

Then (depending on league averages) wouldn’t he have to hit like .310/.345/.465 the rest the way? I’m just guessing, no math done here.

By the way, sometimes I really want my guys to succeed and I offer

money if they do something. (ie. Mike Richards if you score on this PK I’ll send you $20, etc)

I said to Richie right before the pitch that I’d give him $20 if he went yard. So do I pay up, even though he’s banking $15.5 mil? I kind of want to stand by my principle but on the other hand it’s $20 and thats a lot to send to him.
