Blow it up!!!

Posted on: May 11, 2008 3:46 am

It's finally tiime to blow up this team from top to bottom.

Get rid of the Pres. GM and manager.  Armstrong needs no explanation if you follow the Mariners at all.  Bavasi for some reason has gained some popularity with the fans due to the BAdard trade.  What many of those fans seem to forget is that Bavasi never would have needed to make that trade if he just quit signing pitchers like Washburn, Weaver, and that other bum 2 seasons ago that didn't even make it past may..  Or the fact that he traded away an excellent plus arm for the loser known as Ramirez,  Or the fact that Morrows been mis used and never spent any time in the minors working on becomming that No 1 or 2 starter.  So you see that since Bavasi's job was on the line, he had to make the move and give up way too much in the process,  Yeah yeah I know Badard was a great pick up to stregthen the whole rotation ,  but I say to you all Bavasi backers that if Morrow was used correctly and worked on being a starter all of last season he could have been that No. 2 this season and we would still have Mickolio, Sharroll, and Adams as well. 

get whatever you can or just waive the following:  Burke, Vidro, Cairo, Washburn, Sexson

Trade the following for good prospects:  Beltre, Ibanez, Jojima, Batista, Rhodes, Sung Baek

Send Morrow down to Tacoma to get him stretched out as a starter.  Call him back up in August to see how far he's come.  With any kind of luck, he may be ready next season as a starter right out of camp.

Call up Tui and let him develop into a great player while he lets his natural  lvocal leadership keep the team better balenced.

Dangle Ichiro this off season and watch the Mets and Dodgers go at it in a bidding war. 

Dangle Badard during the off season hopefully we can get at least 3 top  prospects.

Blow it up!!!

Woah Atomic.  Quite the firesale you're organizing there.  I agree that we need to get younger in a few places, but not quite to the extent your talking.  Ichiro shows no sign of dropping off, and i'd like one of our superstars to actually finish his career in Seattle.  Bedard is pretty young, we need to lock him up long term.  I agree on Morrow, spend the rest of the year developing him, then get get rid of Washburn in the offseason.  Let Sexson go in FA and pick up a young athletic outfielder and a 1st baseman.  I don't think with our payroll capacity we should have to go into full rebuilding mode.  We aren't the Marlins (although they have 2 championships, so what do i know)
Go M's!!!
