#41*: Its all about those little square foot quadrant thingies and play by play data that as far as I know is proprietary.

I haven’t had a chance to read the book yet….do they kill Sexson on bunts, guarding the line, or covering the hole?

The irony is the Mariners thought they were thinking of their fans when they signed “big-name free-agent pitcher” Jarrod Washburn.

Like the Mariners would listen to their fans.

In light of the Onion’s assessment of the Mariners, anyone up for a Sadaharu-Oh-for-Mariners-manager write-in campaign?

If he gets lit up, the headline could read: “Opponents’ Bitch Is Baek.”

We did cut Baek, but then we re-signed him as a free agent.

I saw that as well. I understand that Sexson is no John Olerud, but I don’t see him as the “worst defensive 1B” in the AL. Also, no mention of either Reed, Ichiro or Betancourt as best at their positions either. My guess would be that Betancourt didn’t play enough to be considered, but shouldn’t Ichiro be the best RF?

ESPN.com identifies a photo of a mariners pitcher taken during last nights game as Cha Seung Baek. Didn’t we cut him?
Also, according to “The fielding bible”, the worst defensive 1B in the AL is not Jason Giambi, not Aubrey Huff, its… Richie Sexson. How does this guy make his assesments?
