Seriously let's trade all of our prospects for a starting pitcher because god knows they're all going to be worthless within a month

by Graham MacAree on Apr 10, 2009 10:07 PM PDT reply actions 1 recs

I hear Erik Bedard might be available in July and he fetched a fortune the last time he was traded.

by Robert on Apr 10, 2009 11:15 PM PDT up reply actions

He was traded for way above market value though.

Also had an additional year of team control

Wow

I’m so damn sorry.

My best game plan is to sit on the bench and call out specific instructions like 'C'mon Boog,' 'Get ahold of one, Frank,' or 'Let's go, Brooks.' -Earl Weaver

We must of done something to piss God off in the last decade.

Either that or the Mariners lost their virginity to a succubus. Absolutely ridiculous.

At least I still got Ramirez and De Jesus to follow all year.

In the past two weeks we've lost our best two starting prospects and now our best position player

This had better be one hell of a draft or we’re boned. DRINKING TIME

Strassburg?

As a closer

by Smegmalicious on Apr 10, 2009 10:14 PM PDT up reply actions

6th - Fields

7th – Aumont
8th- Morrow
9th – Strasburg

what could go wrong?

by IceStormV1 on Apr 10, 2009 10:15 PM PDT up reply actions

1st through 5th - Silva

by Ezzra on Apr 10, 2009 10:16 PM PDT up reply actions

Well more like this.

1-4 Silva
5 Jaubkaoffsauras
6 Fields
7 Aumont
8 Morrow
9 Strasburg

by Fin on Apr 10, 2009 10:22 PM PDT up reply actions

I prefer Batista to Jakubaskas

by Ezzra on Apr 10, 2009 10:42 PM PDT up reply actions

Ok, this is how it will actually go.

1 Silva
2 Batista
3 Lowe
4 Cordero
5 Jaubaskas
6 Fields
7 Aumont
8 Morrow
9 Strasburg

Just like the All-Star game, a new pitcher every inning!

We could even do that every game, since no one would be tired.

Aumonte?

Morrow?

Formerly Mariners124M... Username was sorta bland, so I'm changin it up

by BQueezy on Apr 10, 2009 10:14 PM PDT up reply actions

Is it closer to the knee or by his ankle?

If it’s by the knee, he’s screwed. if it’s closer to the ankle, he’ll be out for around three months. But wow…

by fresnofan on Apr 10, 2009 10:14 PM PDT reply actions

It appears to be by the Ankle

by MattoB on Apr 10, 2009 10:17 PM PDT up reply actions

He's young, he'll be fine

It’s his development that will suffer the most

by Ezzra on Apr 10, 2009 10:18 PM PDT up reply actions

And seeing as how his biggest asset is his age that lost year is pretty damned enormous.

by Aaron Campeau on Apr 10, 2009 10:22 PM PDT up reply actions

A lot of his value was in the fact he was going to be in AAA at 20

He’s never really hit that well in any season, but his tools and potential coupled with playing against much older competition made him such a nice prospect. We can only hope that he takes the rehab seriously and comes back strong.

by Graham MacAree on Apr 10, 2009 10:24 PM PDT up reply actions

And by July

MotherFUCK

by cwel87 on Apr 10, 2009 10:26 PM PDT up reply actions

I guess our only hope is that this doesn't retard his physical maturation by too much

by Graham MacAree on Apr 10, 2009 10:29 PM PDT up reply actions

Maybe the rehab will get him into great physical shape...

by Matthew on Apr 10, 2009 10:39 PM PDT up reply actions

Even though this is shitty news

I’m glad to hear it’s by ankle and not the knee.

by fresnofan on Apr 10, 2009 10:18 PM PDT up reply actions

That's a huge relief

If he can come back for some of the season this isn’t nearly as devastating. Although it’s still immensely shitty.

by Graham MacAree on Apr 10, 2009 10:19 PM PDT up reply actions

Totally agree with you, Graham.

by fresnofan on Apr 10, 2009 10:21 PM PDT up reply actions

So this is bad news, right?

by Smegmalicious on Apr 10, 2009 10:15 PM PDT reply actions

yeah

but not as bad as people are making it sound if it’s closer to the ankle.

by fresnofan on Apr 10, 2009 10:16 PM PDT up reply actions

Damn.

Does this ruin his development by a year?

by Fin on Apr 10, 2009 10:23 PM PDT reply actions

I think it depends on his recovery time.

If he can be sent down to the Winter Leagues, then I think he can makeup some time he will lose over the next 6 months.

by Wilder. on Apr 10, 2009 10:27 PM PDT up reply actions

What kind of a question is this?

by marc w on Apr 10, 2009 10:34 PM PDT up reply actions

It's a question about the impact of Triunfel's injury on his development

Actually, I don’t think it’s really that clear cut. It’s a pain in the ass in terms of baseball development, but since the major thing Triunfel was lacking is power, it might not really be a full lost year of development time so long as he rehabs properly.

by Graham MacAree on Apr 10, 2009 10:39 PM PDT up reply actions 1 recs

Can he still work out his upper body fully?

Once he’s and crutches and everything’s stabilized (in, say, a couple weeks, I mean)?

by Decatur on Apr 10, 2009 11:01 PM PDT up reply actions

All things considered, things couldn't have gone much worse for the M's farm system in the past two weeks than they have

Fucking insane.

Better than ‘minimum of 8 months, I suppose’

by Graham MacAree on Apr 10, 2009 10:32 PM PDT reply actions

Is it confirmed that the injury was to the ankle?

by BrianL on Apr 10, 2009 10:33 PM PDT up reply actions

By that timeframe, it's 90-100% confirmed

It’s still a really shitty injury, but it gives a glimmer of hope he returns in late June and seamlessly rediscovers his path to awesome.

More pressure on Z to have a good draft. Fair or unfair, it is what it is.

by kentroyals5 on Apr 10, 2009 10:46 PM PDT reply actions

Here's to hoping that Zduriencik feeds off the pressure

And the Washington Nationals choke under it.

by cwel87 on Apr 10, 2009 10:50 PM PDT up reply actions

I'm over Strasburg....If he has a good overall draft that's all I can ask for. He has some work.

And that fact was true even without this injury. This just sucks.

It's really hard to have a good overall draft when all of the talent is in the #1 pitch

Not to be an additional Debbie Downer, but let's keep this in perspective.

Nick Adenhart was killed yesterday. So, think about what Anaheim is going through. Good luck to us and to Carlos’ recovery, but this, too, will pass.

by lemonverbena on Apr 10, 2009 11:02 PM PDT reply actions

I'm all for perspective, but these two things are totally unrelated.

by Aaron Campeau on Apr 10, 2009 11:02 PM PDT up reply actions

Yes but this is happening to us and I really don't give a fuck about Anaheim

Very compassionate.

by lemonverbena on Apr 10, 2009 11:06 PM PDT up reply actions

People died today too.

People die every day. It sucks. We all feel bad for Adenhart’s friends and family and we all feel bad for Angels fans.

This still fucking sucks.

Eh.

I’m not a big fan of this line of thinking. Deaths cause a ripple affect. Adenhart’s death affected Angel fans and those close by far more than it affects me.

I really feel for Angels fans but I’m sorry, I’m already over it.

Triunfel’s injury sucks, especially in light of what we’ve been going through in the farm system.

by ThundaPC on Apr 11, 2009 9:28 AM PDT up reply actions

I was penciling Truinfel in at 3rd if Beltre was traded for a load of talent. Guess there's Cedeno.

Hope Yuni bucks up, I hate having to rely on him for anything. Maybe Z goes with optimal plan A and resigns Beltre, but that could potentially block Trui. Glad I’m not a GM and just a fan.
