It annoys me that they benched Saunders for such a long period of time after he was swinging
a very hot bat.
Milton came back, we saw some lefties, Sweeney got hot and we just left Saunders on the bench.
He needs to play every day, or at least 4-5 games a week.
It annoys me that Wak still thinks that he has to run Sweeney out there.
Give those at bats to Saunders, Jr. and Sweeney can just SIT.

The platoon in my opinion should be between Kotchman and Sweeney.
I want Bradley and Saunders in there daily. Maybe you can give Saunders a break against a tough lefty, but they need to play him in LF most days, with Milton at DH, and some sort of platoon at 1B.
I respectfully disagree. I don't like Sweeney at 1B, ever.
Yes, Sweeney might be better than Kotchman in a platoon situation, but Kotchman’s defense makes the difference for me.

Yeah, I don't like Sweeney ever using his mitt. However, maybe if you have a stretch of games
where you are seeing two lefties a week, you put Sweeney out there for one game, and let him DH another. I don’t like that Saunders is being completely kept away from left handed pitching. That doesn’t do much for his development.
I'm going to partially agree here, I don't ever want to see Sweeney with a mitt.
Saunders will only learn to hit LHP by hitting LHP, whether it’s once or twice a week.

As much as you don't like Sweeney with a mitt.
I do not like Kotchman with a bat. .267 wOBA wastes everything he does with his glove and then some.
Is a Sweeny for Kotchman pinch hit an option?
Where you just let Sweeny play 1B afterwards? Or would this require too much thought on Wak’s part
Saunders is looking awfully lost at the plate again.
This is a result of lack of playing time… I hope.
We are getting better
A few games don’t mean much, but at least the Mariners have been scoring runs. I haven’t had the gripping fear we wouldn’t score at all for a few series now. Progress!

I missed where Milton was tonight?
Just a night off, I hope?
There's a bad Aurora Bridge joke here
and it’s waiting to be made, but I do not wish to make it, nor do I support such a joke.
I <3 Milton.

I heard they were installing fences on the bridge.
Milton’s safe here.
Josh Wilson is almost a 1 WAR player and it's June 1st.
This is amazing to me.
And yes, I know it’s a small sample size.
I don't think sample size really matters with regard to cumulative stats like WAR
It doesn’t matter why he’s been worth that much or whether he’ll keep it up. He just has been.
by Matt Erickson on Jun 1, 2010 10:31 PM PDT up reply actions
Yeah, but if he starts sucking and goes back to the player his track record suggests
he’ll start costing the team, correct? For example if he goes 0-30 and his defense goes back to normal, he’s going to be back at replacement level, right?
Just because he has been .8 wins over replacement, doesn’t mean he’s going to keep that .8
If he "goes back" to replacement level, he will have been worth 0.8 WAR for the season.
To lose that, he’d have to show negative value to the tune of ~1 WUR (win under replacement; yes, I made it up).
Gotcha. I'm just not convinced that he doesn't have a stretch of -1.0 in him if he
plays a full season, thus bringing him back to career norms. However, maybe he’s improved enough in all areas that he can keep up some semblance of league average defense, and not drop off too much from where he is now with the bat.
That would be very nice.
It's like he's gotten just a little better at everything
and that’s made him a useful player to have around.

It is amazing. At some point when Jack decides he can't come back because of injury
the “other” wilson will get his name capitalized. Josh is not anywhere near Jack defensively, but maybe he deserves to have the first letter of his last name in capital letters. He’s not rob johnson.

In fact, maybe we should just write ob ohnson.
He is so bad,he doesn’t just get penalized by no capitilization, he gets the first letters removed. Or just write his name in wing dings.
Just out of curiosity, what's the deal with the two open roster spots?
Any speculation on why they are still open and who might fill them?
Let's engage in wild speculation over signing an upcoming draft pick to a major league contract.

I hope that was a joke.
IF we trade Lee it would be to a national league team. We still are not far from contending right now so we can’t trade him to an AL contender, an NL team would work. Possibly the Brewers? Prince Fielder might be available after all and Jack does know their system intimately. San Diego is for Adrian Gonzalez is out since they don’t need pitching.

7 back of the division and 11.5 back of the wildcard is pretty far from contending.
You're dead to me.
You're forgetting the Griffey factor.
Obviously he’s going to get injured and the M’s will REFUSE TO LOSE!!!
You got slurved!
I'm sure the team doesn't care what league they trade him to since we'll likely be out of it and Lee's on a 1-year deal.
If the Rangers gave us the best package, I bet we’d send him there.
Joking in that there is no way Brain Cashman would give up that package for half a season+ of Cliff Lee, yes.
Would that be the most awesome trade imaginable? Hell, yes. A first baseman/outfielder and starting catcher for a 1/2 season rental. Oh well, I can live in fantasy land for a little bit.
The Rainiers beat John Halama today.
