Nunc dimittis

Nunc dimittis servum tuum, Domine, secundum verbum tuum in pace:
Quia viderunt oculi mei salutare tuum
Quod parasti ante faciem omnium populorum:
Lumen ad revelationem gentium, et gloriam plebis tuae Israel.

Why does Tug Hulett suck?

I've been trying to figure this out from his minor league stats, and drawing a blank.
He has a minor league OBP of around .400, and he's consistently beaten his league's OPS in every league he's played in (OK, well, not the American League, but that has a pretty serious Small Sample Size Theatre problem).

Wow, this is a pretty epic scale of suck.

Mariner C:
.242/.289/.356
Mariner 1B:
.241/.316/.358
Mariner DH's:
.223/.272/.339
MLB 8th place hitters:
.246/.317/.370
Wow, 3 lineup positions where the M's hit worse than a bad middle infielder. Oh, wait, they played Miguel Cairo and Jose Vidro at those positions, didn't they?

This team is SO STUPID
[Jared] Wells has a 96-mph fastball, but after a 2007 conversion from starter to reliever, he goes much more often to his slider and his split-finger. The Mariners are considering moving him back to a starting role because of the quality of his pitches and because with J.J. Putz and Brandon Morrow, they are well stocked with closers.
Welcome to False Hope. Population: Seattle Mariners.

I think it was inevitable, the Mariners getting on a mild hot streak, as they just simply aren't a 100-loss team without some severe extenuating circumstances. Really, if you compare the 2004 and 2008 rosters, it's pretty obvious which team is better (if still flawed), and which team is complete garbage.

Armstrong was asked if the team was less likely to be active at the trade deadline, given an interim GM.
"Not necessarily,'' he said. "But we might be active the other way. We may, instead of trying to acquire players, we may find some good fits where we can help ourselves.''
Armstrong said that "we're already looking ahead to the future'' and told me afterwards that he'll be keeping a closer eye that usual on all player moves made under interim GM Lee Pelekoudas.
Yeah, I can see how THAT'S going to help things. If only Bavasi had taken Armstrong's advice on not trading Carl- or signing Joh-, well, it's not like Armstrong was around when we traded Lowe and Varitek for Slo-
Oh, Christ, we're going to be boned at the deadline, aren't we?

Everyone remember Geoff Baker and how hard it was to get him to take defensive stats seriously?
Well...
