Peace Out

by Jeff Sullivan on Mar 12, 2008 2:03 PM PDT in Seattle Mariners News, Regular

And so ends one of the most miserable Mariner chapters I think any of us have ever had to endure. It's never easy to just dump a guy outright when there's no interest in him anywhere else, and you have to feel at least a little bit of sympathy for the person (as opposed to the athlete), but on the other hand, take away the release and Horacio's day has been pretty good.

So he's got that going for him.

Nice subtle joke.

Take away all those bad starts and Ramirez wasn't that terrible.

...and now I'm here

I wish I were left-handed and lacked skill.

I myself am left handed and lack skill

if you take away my righthandedness.

Just look in the mirror.

It reverses everything so you'll be a lefty with tons of skills.

Some team will take a flyer on him.

I'd be shocked if they didn't

I'm pretty new in my baseball fanaticism...

but given the apparent difference in quality between AL and NL hitting, HoRam will probably get some work in the NL, won't he?

But, to be honest, I'm just glad he's not pitching for us anymore...

You could be a part-time model...but you'd probably still have to keep your normal job

Take away the fact that we gave up Soriano...

and HoRam's bad starts, and this wasn't such a bad trade for the Mariners.

Take away all of the regular

season and playoffs losses for the Mariners and they've never lost a game that counts!

Take away Soriano ... ... and the bad starts,

...and the fact that without Soriano Morrow was forced into the pen, thus losing a year of development as a SP, thus leading to $48 Million for Silva that could have been maybe $4 million for Morrow over the same time....

and this was a helluva trade....

by Doc Baseball on Mar 12, 2008 4:15 PM PDT up reply actions

Take away Howard Lincoln

and the Mariners draft Andrew Miller or (maybe, although that was probably more Fontaine's call and less due to slotting) Tim Lincecum -- both of which were more ready to step into a starting rotation slot than Morrow is/was...

Alas Horatio. Quo vadis?

Casey Janssen apparently blew out his arm. Maybe there's a home for you in Toronto, where you can hone your skills against the Red Sox, Yankees, and DRays?? Should be lots of opportunities there to get into a rhythm.
