He could very well be healthy and on the team because they couldn’t find anything to get in exchange for him that would be better than the chance of re-signing him and the draft picks if he doesn’t.

Seems like if Z can’t get anything for a power hitting gold glove 3B this summer, I’m going to wonder.

Are we going to sign him? I’d give myself better chance of winning the lottery when I don’t play it. I mean unless we want an aging 3B on the downswing of his career path who doesn’t like playing here.

And draft picks? I really hope we could find someone willing to give us something better than draft picks.

Oh, and in my humble opinion, if Beltre is still on this team in August, its going to be because he’s on the 60-day DL. We’re not signing him at the end of the year, and we’re not going to win 70 games this year, so all he’s doing now is getting in the way of 2E playing at 3B. I wish every bit of that wasn’t true, but its the way it seems to be, and so it goes.

Watch a Silva start
Watch a Washburn start

I can’t wait until either of them gets traded. My liver can’t handle those two being on the same team or starting for the M’s much longer.

“The Seattle Mariners… Ichiro bobbleheads for EVERYONE!”

Actually, the new one they are advertising has the little glove statue next to it. You know, the glove that is on the NW corner outside Safeco. It’s the one with the hole in it, which I will forever call the “Russ Davis Statue”.

So, now I want one of those new Ichiro bobbleheads.

Actually, the commercial for that thing was what inspired that one.

Its funny, I didn’t see a lot of pinkhats at last night’s Sounders game, but rather a TON of little kids. And that is more than anything what the M’s should fear with the Sounders. Anyone over 20 is going to remember 95, and be a M’s fan. But there are a lot of kids that have known nothing more than mediocrity and boring teams for the last 6 years.

When I was hanging around the club section 30 minuets before the first kickoff, there were probably 2 kids for every 3 adults, which is insane, and shows the future potential of pro soccer in this town.

How many utility guys do you need?
