Today's Fun Fact
Since Edgar said his final goodbye at the end of 2004, Mariner designated hitters have combined to put up a total batting line of .254/.317/.363 and a position-adjusted OPS+ of 74. This staggering display of consistent run production came for the low low cost of Chris Snelling, Emiliano Fruto, Shin-soo Choo, Asdrubal Cabrera, and roughly twenty-one million dollars.
Over the same span of time, Darin Erstad has batted .271/.325/.380.
Designated hitters have one job. Their job is to hit.
Good eye for talent there, Bill.

It's like those guys were cheap/free or something.
by R.J. Anderson on Jul 17, 2008 7:11 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Here we go!
1. Pena believe that guy was so cheap?
2. I would Bradley have him on my team
3. Stairs no doubt he’d be better than our DH
4. It’s beCust of acquisitions like this that Billy Beane is known as a good GM
5. If you Ludwick other teams can find to fill positions other than DH you realize how easy it should be to find a decent DH
6. If we had picked him up cheap when he was released I would have Thomased not to make fun of the team for at least a week
7. I would Reedily DH him over Vidro any day of the week
8. I’m sure if Vidro were released, the locker room would have a better aroma; there’s nothing worse than Snelling a dirty Vidro
9. The Lambst thing I would want is for Vidro’s option to vest
10. (Bullshit there are no ethnic people on the Cardinals other than Izturis, Pujols, and Molina)
11. If I ever had a chance to Petagine’s bottle, one of my wishes would be for a new DH

By the way
Willie since Opening Day 2005: .260/.319/.314, but with a steal-adjusted* SLG of .361.
Had this team made Willie the everyday DH beginning in 2005, then over the past 3.5 years it would’ve been worse off by only a handful of runs.

The freedom is kinda what makes this place so great
That doesn’t mean that freedom should be limitless of course because it can get totally out of control…but too much moderation does put a damper on the creativity of the comments along with stopping off-topicness.
I like discussing baseball a hell of a lot more than I like going off-topic, but when there isn’t a lot worth discussing about the baseball that’s being played by this team….It gets harder.

When ~every single thread goes off topic within 20 minutes, there's too much freedom

Yeah I agree there is definitely a problem
I just don’t think going completely overboard like the way Dave and DMZ moderate USSM is necessarily a good idea. I think most of the people who tend to take these things off-topic are regular posters who like the blog and can be reasoned with or if not, mocked into submission for off-topic posts.
I’m cool with not going off-topic anymore, I preferred it when things were mostly baseball related around here.

Once you grant it even the slightest opportunity, it’s nigh impossible to stop the avalanche
I’m just saying that the regular posters here are probably more attached to this site than most other posters on most other sites and they’re probably willing to temper their posting when requested seriously without needing to moderate all that much.
I think the penalty boxing is viewed kind-of as a game right now and maybe it should be applied with a little more seriousness in cases where you want things to be kept on topic…

If that happens we should trade RRS
by Last Fan Of Jose Lopez on Jul 17, 2008 8:54 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
I was going to explain myself
If we get Burnett and Sheets, we’d have this rotation (assuming no Bedard trade):
1. Felix
2. Bedard
3. Sheets
4. Burnett
The fifth spot should either go to Dickey or Morrow, Morrow to get experience as a starter and Dickey for being a solid #5. It shouldn’t go to RRS because Morrow has a ton more potential and if he isn’t the #5, he will eventually supplant the #5. Dickey is also a great long relief pitcher (as we have seen), so he could go back there., but if you truly believe RRS has the ability to become a #3/4 pitcher, it’d be a waste to have him out of the rotation and in the bullpen. This is why we would need to free him
by Last Fan Of Jose Lopez on Jul 17, 2008 9:03 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Seriously though, is there any chance we can move him to some other team, say, next season?

Here's something I'm wondering...
Look at all the deals for 4 (arbitration years not counting) years or more in the past 20 years or so, how many were busts, and how many were good deals, as in underpaid. I can only think of Steve Nash off the top of my deal, and that’s not baseball.
by LantermanC on Jul 17, 2008 10:02 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yeah, I know there are lots of busts.
I meant, I wonder what the distribution is like. 30% overpaid, 68% ok deal, 2% underpaid?
by LantermanC on Jul 17, 2008 10:04 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
If you're making an FA deal for 4+ years
you’re sort of taking ‘underpaid’ off the table. That’s not a criticism, that’s what both parties would agree is happening.
My sense is that the ‘overpaid’ is slightly higher, esp. so for pitchers, with hitters coming in around your percentages…

I know the rule
and I didn’t think I was crossing it.

Mean is one thing, that wasn't really mean.
Non-mods or admins shouldn’t try to enforce the rules. They can do it without our help

Eh, it seemed kinda mean to me
But you’re right, we shouldn’t be mini-modding. /withdrawn

Imagine if we had all those guys back
Chris Snelling, Emiliano Fruto, Shin-soo Choo, Asdrubal Cabrera
And then traded all 4 guys away in a trade right now?
I seriously wonder what the Mariner’s could get for them…

Yeah, the key is:
How many of the assembled need surgery/are out due to injury?
Cabrera is clearly the most valuable. The rest are just filler.

But Snelling...

Snelling comes with a free punchard with 10 of 12 already punched out. 12th MRI is free!!
I fucking hate you Mariners

Their potentials were high
but most of them didn’t mount to anything, thanks to injuries and such. I guess you have to look at the deals for what they were at the time to determine if it was a good deal or not, just like the Garcia trade a few years back.
