The Most Interesting Spring Training Stories Right Now

I like using declarative statements. Because, I like people to assume I’m using facts. The thing about using a declarative statements is that it has no bearing on being true or false. So I could say that without a doubt the ...

A Quick Look At 2012 Defense

So as you know I’ve had a lot about defense on the mind lately. Talking a lot about gathering fly ball data and that whole crappy project that I’m sure other people have done and will end up being another ...

Additional Thoughts On The Left Field Project

I had been make comments and responding to people’s e-mails but I think in the pursuit of brevity it just seems smarter to make a blog post. The feed back has been excellent and I’m much appreciative of those that have ideas. But, I ...

King Felix and Predicting ERA

After posting back-to-back seasons with ERAs under 2.50, Felix Hernandez recorded a 3.47 ERA in 2011, good for just 18th in the AL among starters with at least 100 innings pitched. So what gives? I don’t think I need to go ...

I don’t have anything really going on today and while I guess I could spent the better part of this post talking about one of the relief pitchers the Mariners picked up, I have better things to do and you ...

Let’s Talk More About The Past…

Okay, I appreciate Shannon Drayer and all the information that she provides us.  She’s a lot of fun and interacts with pretty much anyone and everyone on twitter. I’ve never heard of anything negative about her and it won’t certainly ...

The Third Base Job

First off the subject title should indirectly tell you I’m been back on my Leverage kick. And if it didn’t I told you directly. Second… well there isn’t really a second. I just thought I’d tell you what I’ve been ...

Solving the Power Outage: Internal Solutions

In my last article, I talked about the Mariner’s lack of power and dismissed the ideas of moving in Safeco’s fences or trading for a legitimate cleanup hitter. I believe that at this point, Seattle’s best course of action would ...

Danny Hultzen, One Year Ago and MLB Draft talk

  I love talking about MLB Draft and it’s that time of year that the wheels are just starting to turn. Some high schools are already practicing and most colleges are about two weeks from kicking off (the Washington Huskies kick off a three game series ...

The Cult Of Scott Savastano

 Last year, I did a write up on some of the under appreciated prospects in the Mariners system. I called it the Ryan Anderson Relief Squad. Despite being the one that picked the name, it bothered me. Most of the ...

Solving the Power Outage

Ichiro Part Deux: Can he even still hit?

Last post I discussed the advantages of moving a player like Ichiro—lots of hits, very few walks—down in the lineup. The other part of the equation, … [visit site to read more]

Piggy Back Thought…

This is just a thought that kind of piggy backs on my post yesterday on Michael … [visit site to read more]

Pitching Prospects

Okay, it sucked that we traded Jose Campos. I’m disappointed and I know some of you feel the same way. But, then I started playing around with minor league leader boards on Fangraphs and  Statcorner I had a startling revelation of all the ...

Don’t Sleep On Me: Part 1 Michael Saunders

I’m going to be talking about a few guys in the next coming weeks that we… I have forgotten about in a way. Now, I don’t really actually forget that they exist but sometimes you look over how they might ...

Ichiro and the Leadoff Spot

I should preface my first post here at Fansided by introducing myself. I am from Portland, Oregon, and I’m a huge fan of both the Trail Blazers and the Mariners. During the past rec-league, slow-pitch softball season, my glove tallied ...

Mariners are indeed Rebuilding with or without Fan base

I attended the annual meeting of the NW SABR group I belong to yesterday as part of Mariners Fan Fest at the Ellis Pavillion inside the bowels of Safeco Field away from the hoopla happening on the diamond. I got there a ...

Mariner Top 5: Tradeable Assets

  I love Top-5 lists. I think I’ve had an affinity for it since watching High Fidelity as a high school junior. Sure, I should probably have read the unadulterated book. But, I’m lazy and the ability to have John ...

Brian Sweeney A Mariner, Again

So the Mariners signed yet another relief arm that is potentially (with a bit of hope) a replacement level pitcher. The problem is that while he might be this years

A Post I Was Going To Write Until It Backfired On Me

I appreciate snark. To various degrees and put more aptly, when it’s done in a way that doesn’t generate a rise out of me. I’m not very good and disguisesing any type of snark in written form or in real life ...

Things I Missed, While I Was Out

First and very foremost, a big shout out to the incomparable Keith Myers, whom kept the lights burning strong while I was out gallivanting around Rome, Italy with the wife. It was an very, very good time and I highly suggest ...

Prince Fielder Wait Is Finally Over

Prince Fielder finally agreed to terms with a team for a new contract. Yesterday, he signed a deal for 9 years, $214 Million with the Detroit Tigers. The Mariners can finally move on. Personally I think they should have dropped the idea months &#823...

Mariners Sign Kevin Millwood

The Seattle Mariners finalized a minor league deal with Kevin Millwood. The 37 year old will be given every opportunity to win a spot in the 2012 rotation. The minor league deal is not not your average deal of this type. Millwood will ...

New York Yankees: Introducing Prospect Jose Campos

In the midst of all the hysteria surrounding the Michael Pineda-Jesus Montero trade, the name Jose Campos might have gotten lost in the shuffle. Campos was the other pitcher the New York Yankees received from the Seattle Mariners in the blockbuster ...

Mariners heading to Peoria without Prince Fielder

Well the suspense is finally over as Prince Fielder and his agent Scott Boras have reportedly just reached a deal with the Detroit Tigers for $214 million bucks over nine years. The Tigers already had a powerful offense and now will ...

Remembering The Mariners: 70′s And 80′s

Sometimes I feel like we focus on all the bad things rather than on all the good things that have happened in the past to this organization which we support. The Mariners as we know were born out of a ...

Another Possible 3B Option For The Mariners

I think it’s pretty clear that the Mariners need to upgrade third base. It’s currently their biggest weakness, and the need to upgrade this offense is still there, even after the addition of Jesus Montero. The problem is that there ...

It seems pretty clear that the Seattle Mariners are in a waiting game in terms of Prince … [visit site to read more]

Embrace Your Marinerism: Why Do They Always Get Better?

You know I was just thinking the other day. Why do they always get better? We bring in a guy or bring them up through the system and then after they don’t work out we either cut them loose or ...

The Mariners 2012 Rotation

I think its pretty clear that in 2011 the reason strength of the Seattle Mariners was the starting rotation, at least in the begining. For the first couple months they were downright dominant and kept the M’s in the playoff ...

Update And Thoughts On Hector Noesi

Okay, I know there hasn’t been a lot of action on the blog of late and that’s on me. I’ve been trying to get some content together so that next week while I’m in Rome you guys would still see ...

Oliver Perez Signs Minor League Contract With Mariners

Okay, so this is a scary thing. But, it’s a scary thing that we can tackle together. No one has to do it alone. It’s not like trying to sit through an Adrien Brody movie, or more specifically Splice (boy, the guy ...

Yeah, Not Going To Happen Now

This just in on twitter from the Giants official feed.

Three Mariners Avoid Arbitration With Vargas, League and Kelley

According to Larry Stone (and maybe other sources) the Mariners complete arbitration deals with Brandon League, Jason Vargas and Shawn Kelley. Word is just in, via a tweet from his agency, CAA Sports, that pitcher Jason Vargas avoided arbitration today ...

How I View The Pineda-Montero Trade

I’m not a very articulate guy. I talk a lot and I’m good at talking, but that’s not really communicating and it certainly isn’t nesscarily the ability to properly express one self in such a manner in which others might ...

Some Interesting Jesus Montero Points

Because there are going to be plenty of “thank God, Jesus Montero is here to save our line-up”  (no pun … err.. religious innuendo intended) thoughts. I figured it would be fun to take a look at what he is ...
