Around SBN: Raiders' GM Begins The Purge

Submitted for your consideration:

Brad Wilkerson:  .232./348/.304 in 68 plate appearances as a Mariner in 2008

Ken Griffey Junior: .192/.344.308 in 64 plate appearances as a Mariner in 2009

Star-divide

Anyone want to put odds on Griffey being DFA by May 1?

I guess the good news is that we might not need to worry about a contract extension for 2010. Who knows, maybe they could figure out a way to get Clement back into the M's lineup.

Good thing he's capable of drawing walks

Otherwise that could be a ton worse. What would be the best option to replace him, though?

I was just joking with my roommates about how fucking funny

it’s going to be when Jr. gets DFA’d (we actually thought it would be funnier if they sent him to AAA.) Honestly though, this is going to be a huge test. When we’re still 2 games up this time around the All-Star break and Griffey is still dragging ass we’re gonna have to do something. Maybe Halman will be ready by then.

HALMAN?!

Apparently I haven't posted long enough

for people to get that I’m EXTREMELY SARCASTIC. Maybe I should just put a disclaimer on my posts until people understand. Either that or I need to get better at sounding sarcastic.

In fairness,

Your whole post seemed serious and suggesting Halman might be ready isn’t over-the-top ridiculous.

At the game yesterday

abender: OK, what’s the single most noticeable thing in the Mariners dugout right now?
sb: Griffey’s ass
abender: Exactly.

To be fair,

it kind of always was. I remember being baffled by it when I was growing up. I wondered if he wore padding back there because it just looked so unnatural to me.

It makes me happy to read this

and know I wasn’t the only kid who felt this way.

Oh, hey.

Wilkerson: 9.3% LD, .302 BABIP
Griffey: 19.5% LD, .205 BABIP

Useless without context.

Your comment does not indicate in any fashion if the layperson should actually expect Griffey’s BABIP to move upward or not. How are we supposed to promote knowledge if you just want to leave blind hopes out there?

As a writer it is often a folly to lay everything out for the audience

often you have to engage the audience by laying the groundwork and let them fill in the blanks. As a person who who writes for multiple quality publications I am astonished you do not know this.

by JI on Apr 27, 2009 1:36 PM PDT up reply actions  

The funny thing is

I think Matthew did what you intended to do, except more effectively. The groundwork is there and the audience still has to fill in the blanks. :)

by ThundaPC on Apr 27, 2009 1:51 PM PDT up reply actions  

Better than I expected

19.5% LD sounds actually pretty good. Better than I was expecting from what I’ve watched this year.

by batura on Apr 28, 2009 1:04 AM PDT up reply actions  

Like that would happen

He could openly refer to every person in Seattle as morons and people would still love him. They’d claim that the quotes were just being taken out of context or something

Hmmm...

Good thing this guy’s glove is valuable:

.176/.215/.243
14.5 LD%
.210 BABIP
