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
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.

I thought this was going to be about the Kathy Griffin album.

Is she a lefty with some power we could use in our lineup?
We do need some bench bats…

Saving baseballs from being hit, anyway.

Yup
he’s saving baseballs from any extra wear and tear in these budget-conscious times in Seattle.

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.

Griffey is a Three True Outcomes player, he's just redefined the outcomes.
K, BB, or infield popup.

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.

From the 4th deck, no less. Griffey's ass is a force to be reckoned with.

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.

How do you think he hit all those HR's?

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

It's almost like someone made a similar point 5 minutes ago

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 0 recs
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. :)

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

Until he starts pouting and the KJR callers turn on him.
by waldo rojas on Apr 27, 2009 12:44 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
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

Griffey doesn't recycle and hates dogs.
That should do the trick. I’m calling Softee.

People around here would still view that as a good thing
Clay convinced Griffey to leave behind his family and go somewhere where he’d be loved regardless of his performance.
