3/5: Open Game Thread

PrintListen live at 12:05. Alternatively you can pay attention to the exhibition between the Astros and team Panama. Panama went 0-3 in the last WBC, losing to the Netherlands 10-0 in a seven inning mercy rule affair, so that game should be pretty even.
Here are your Mariner and Angel lineups. Ryan Feierabend did have Tommy John surgery yesterday, by the way, so he's done for the year. Also, Griffey might be the only person capable of convincing the media that they talk too much about Griffey.
Sitting in front of his locker afterward, Griffey said his first game with the Mariners after being away for 10 seasons "was fine" and he's still "trying to take everything in stride."
He also tried to downplay the significance of his contribution to the festivities.
"I think you guys [media] put too much effort into making this such a big story," he said.
"I understand it a little bit, but the focus should be on this team, not one guy. It's a Spring Training game. It's about doing the little things and getting this team ready to go north. It's not one person. It's 25 guys."
The best part is how this is the one time all year the media won't hang on every word he says.

Now THAT'S the Griffey I remember
he’s rounding his media distaste into midseason form. Sweet.

Yay Cedeno is getting OF time
Here’s hoping he’s really good out there
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Wyomingroutes.org & Washingtonhighways.org
Has to be better than Morse and LaHair.
"Fights begin, finger prints are took, days is lost, bail is made, court dates are ignored, cycle is repeated."
If Cedeno can be an awesome fielding LFer that's all the more reason to never ever put Griffey out there
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Wyomingroutes.org & Washingtonhighways.org
Unless he becomes part of our starting IF.
"Fights begin, finger prints are took, days is lost, bail is made, court dates are ignored, cycle is repeated."
I hope Betancourt returns to his old form,
but if he doesn’t I’ve about had it with him.
"Fights begin, finger prints are took, days is lost, bail is made, court dates are ignored, cycle is repeated."
2005 defense and 2007 offense would be "returning to form"...seems unlikely...

I know (unfortunately)..
"Fights begin, finger prints are took, days is lost, bail is made, court dates are ignored, cycle is repeated."
How do you know that Z is sure Betancourt is his starting SS?
He’s a below average bat and defender, Cedeno is a below average bat and good defender. I think Z is gonna take the guy he thinks is best for the job and discuss with Wak who the starting SS is. I’m not totally convinced it’s Yuni’s job to lose….

I'd bet it's Betancourts job to lose, and I doubt 100% of the playing time will go to Cedeno
but I wouldn’t be surprised to see a 50-50 split or so at the start of the spring with the better performer gradually overtaking the other
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Wyomingroutes.org & Washingtonhighways.org
I don't care about ST,
it’s who is the starting SS in opening day…
"Fights begin, finger prints are took, days is lost, bail is made, court dates are ignored, cycle is repeated."
I mean once the season starts
If Cedeno has a good spring and Betancourt doesn’t I’d bet for the first few months PT gets split pretty evenly between the two
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Wyomingroutes.org & Washingtonhighways.org
Z turned around and dealt Heilman for Cedeno/Olson to light Yuni's ass on fire
And if it turns out he doesn’t take it seriously, well…there’s always the Royals!
I'd rather he just play SS, honestly...

I'm gonna give the new administration the benefit of the doubt here

by JI on Mar 5, 2009 12:06 PM PST up reply actions
Just because he's getting the bulk of his PT at SS doesn't mean he can't spot start in LF with Betancourt at SS
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Wyomingroutes.org & Washingtonhighways.org
If he's the starting SS, does Betancourt even make the team?
"Fights begin, finger prints are took, days is lost, bail is made, court dates are ignored, cycle is repeated."
I think so
We still need a backup infielder and Cedeno isn’t going to be playing 162 games
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Wyomingroutes.org & Washingtonhighways.org
Can Yuni play other spots?
"Fights begin, finger prints are took, days is lost, bail is made, court dates are ignored, cycle is repeated."
He's got a little experience at 2nd
But Cedeno is versatile so Betancourt can play SS and Cedeno can move wherever
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Wyomingroutes.org & Washingtonhighways.org
I'm sure he can play 2B and he could probably handle 3B as well.
by Aaron Campeau on Mar 5, 2009 12:14 PM PST up reply actions
He's got enough arm to play third.
"Fights begin, finger prints are took, days is lost, bail is made, court dates are ignored, cycle is repeated."
What would they do with him?
I think Betancourt will have to be traded or fail in the regular season to lose his job.
by JI on Mar 5, 2009 12:13 PM PST up reply actions
Can he be sent down?
:)
"Fights begin, finger prints are took, days is lost, bail is made, court dates are ignored, cycle is repeated."
He has 2 option years left if I'm not badly mistaken
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Wyomingroutes.org & Washingtonhighways.org
Maybe some time back at the minor league spread would get him back in shape.
They feed him too well at the major league level.
"Fights begin, finger prints are took, days is lost, bail is made, court dates are ignored, cycle is repeated."
He was a ~average SS as little as one season ago.
Yeah he sucked last year, but it’s possible he regains some lost value this year.
by Aaron Campeau on Mar 5, 2009 12:18 PM PST up reply actions
My felling is that
Betancourt is first in line for the job but he is in no way guaranteed it, and boy i hope we trade him
by JI on Mar 5, 2009 12:20 PM PST up reply actions
Samesies.
I still believe that there’s at least one GM out there who could use a MIFer and thinks Betancourt has value.
by Aaron Campeau on Mar 5, 2009 12:24 PM PST up reply actions
That would imply Cedeno is a league average SS and Betancourt is replacement level.
I don’t think either one of those things are true.
by Aaron Campeau on Mar 5, 2009 12:30 PM PST up reply actions
Cedeno's Chone projection is quite good
It’s not impossible that he’d be a 3 win player

He could have a Canadian great grandparent or something. I think Caple did an article on espn.com about it.
"Fights begin, finger prints are took, days is lost, bail is made, court dates are ignored, cycle is repeated."
I think he played for them in the Olympics, but not in the WBC.

Gillies is a Cfer for the aquasox. He is a decent prospect with good athleticism, but much like all the mariners prospects lacks plate discipline. As a side note he is also totally deaf. I believe he is currently 19 or maybe 20
Is he actually a prospect though?
I think he’s just young very long shot roster filler

by Aaron Campeau on Mar 5, 2009 1:29 PM PST up reply actions
This, in addition to the on-air act of xenophobic ignorance are very obnoxious.
I am especially bothered by the fake stabs at pronouncing names as a joke “Let’s see now, what is this kid’s name, Jacoobisklausklas?” ::Announcing partner chuckles::
Perhaps having an easy to pronounce but constantly mangled last name has made me a wee bit twitchy about this
but it’s one of my biggest pet peeves.

Well my last name is Bender, so that's never been screwed up.
I just can’t stand to see people reinforce the stereotypes of xenophobic Americans.
Yup. I'm an alcohol swilling, cigar smoking kleptomaniac robot.
While that would really require my last name to be Rodriguez, but I won’t split hairs.
I'm willing to make more of an exception for Asian names
because they’re far less common than Polish names. And when Dave can’t pronounce a name, he sounds embarrassed.
by Aaron Campeau on Mar 5, 2009 1:51 PM PST up reply actions
He definitely wasn't playing it for laughs or anything.
But the name wasn’t that hard. Out here, I think Asian names are much more common than Eastern European ones.
My last name is Wood
And people constantly manage to mess that up (usually as Woods, but there have been some bizarre abuses). I think people just like to mispronounce names subconsciously.
I once had a teacher ask me how to spell it
W-o-d-e or W-o-o-d. I’m sure if it actually was Wode I would have been incredibly impressed, instead I was befuddled
Oh well, we should all just go home, then.
Apparently, no one thinks they will pass either Oakland or Texas this year. And they did nothing much over the off-season. Aside from all those new people they brought in.
I don't know if it's THAT bad, but you guys definitely have an uphill climb.
Still, there’s no reason you couldn’t compete if things shake out right. You have a solid 1-2 if Bedard’s healed up (and he sounded good today). Your bullpen’s OK. Your lineup could end up being pretty good, especially if Clement is given the green light and he finds his bat.
*Visiting Angels fan* Never give up, never surrender!

These guys are ass hats.
Talking about all the players we lost and not giving any props to who we got back in the trades. I don’t usually listen to out-of-market feeds though, so maybe it’s normal for the home announcing crew.
HA!
I was noticing that, too – like it was such a shame that we don’t have either of them anymore.
It's the economy, Manny!
So if the M's don't have a dedicated closer, do they have to carry an extra bullpen arm?
If they go the route of bullpen by committee. If the answer is yes there will be a follow up question.

Actually I thought he had left at some point.
He’s still with us?
"Fights begin, finger prints are took, days is lost, bail is made, court dates are ignored, cycle is repeated."
For some reason I thought he had been released.
"Fights begin, finger prints are took, days is lost, bail is made, court dates are ignored, cycle is repeated."
You're not wrong.
He was removed from the 40 man roster (remember, he was a Rule 5 guy so had to be on the 25 man for all of 07), then signed back on with the M’s on a MiLB deal. The same thing basically happened with Mike Wilson last week – removed from 40 man, passed through waivers, re-signed minor league deal with team.
Good, I haven't gone crazy then.
"Fights begin, finger prints are took, days is lost, bail is made, court dates are ignored, cycle is repeated."
Right. He and Andrew Baldwin anchored the rotation down there.
That will not be the case this year. The positional battles in minor league camp may be just as pitched (ha!) as in major league camp.
Well played.
And now that you mention that I remember seeing him on the minor league updates.
"Fights begin, finger prints are took, days is lost, bail is made, court dates are ignored, cycle is repeated."
Wilson's defense in RF
I’ve heard MIke Wilson’s defense disparaged a bit, but from watching last night and listening today it doesn’t sound abominable. I’m thinking he’s better than Morse (harder to be worse), but is he on par with, say, Wlad?
He had some lousy routes and terrible jumps.
He wouldn’t have needed to make a diving catch last night had he gotten a halfway decent read on the ball.
