I'm fairly certain Baker suggested that Felix should be traded if a long-term deal can't be worked out

not because we’ve fallen out of contention. Larry missed the point of that Baker article.

Yeah, I said it. And I mean it:

It sounded as if Wilson had never seen him excited before in Pittsburgh. That’s understandable — it must have been awful to be a 26th-round draft pick who earned a paltry $3 million throwing baseballs every five days.

[…]

Steve Hecht, the Mariners performance coach who specializes in mental training, just got another client. He can help, and Mariners fans can too by not ever booing the guy, I guess.

What the heck — if Zduriencik made the deal for a thin-skinned pitcher who will have to be treated with kid gloves, I’m all for it.

He's obviously the greatest pitcher to ever pick up a ball.

He only has to go through the real part of our order one more time, too

I think Michael Vick could probably be a pretty good hitter.

Throw him in there.
