I had not heard that Prince would be willing to play DH sporadically if he went to an AL club. He would be awesome there man and i can only imagine the hype that would bring to that ballclub. 6 years would be pretty shrewd considering his age and body physique. Jose Reyes is a stud....when hes healthy....which is pretty rare. Not sure but i dont even know when the last time he played 150 games in a season.
Jesus i had forgotten that the Mariners had Doug Fister! I remember watching him when they played in Toronto sometime in July i think and his ERA and WHIP were solid but no run support, shitty record. Did they get alot in return for him? With that ballpark you would think that developing there own guys (pitchers) wouldnt be to hard and would eliminate the need to acquire a SP. Cliff Lee didnt even make that much of a difference.

Anyways in regards to Bryce Harper if he starts in AAA next year GUARANTEED hes up with the Nats sometime in June. Barring injury of course. Hes a monster man and dont read to much into that YOUTUBE video when he blows the kiss if thats what your referring to about his attitude. That pitcher had it coming.

when i refer to his attitude i mainly mean his outbursts and arguing with umpires. and yea thngs like blowing a kiss at a pitcher. lets me be honest if he tried the later in the big leagues he'd catch a fastball to the helmet.

as far as prince.hes only 27. 6 years will take him till 33. i thin k he'll retire in his mid 30's but not that early. maybe 36-37.he wont be the next mo vaughn.

rip greg halman! mariners promising player greg halman was stabbed to death in rotterdam today. good young player for the mariners as well as the dutch national team. local to Haarlem,netherlands too.

Yes Yes RIP Mr. Halman. I had never heard of him before but if Cantona says that he was a good pitching prospect then thats all i need to hear......I think i had read that it was his brother who had stabbed him to death......

was actually an outielder. made some nice catches this year too.

ya not really sure why i wrote pitching prospect...im just gonna blame it on the Hindu kush.

Either way its a damn shame. You know what they say, "the good always die young".

winter meetings in full effect!

wow. i called bs on that then checked espn..disgusting. albert albert...albert. i expected more from ya. i honestly thought you were the real one club man..something you dont see these days in sport much let alone baseball. but alas. your just another fucking $ hungry mercenary. . yea im pissed off. i really had respect for this guy. and yea i'd be lying if i said it partially wasn't because we now have the leagues best player in our back yard. ugh. this just means the mariners have to fight harder to get prince and some other upgrades. jack z..eric if you happen to be tokers and see this thread...do the best thing. sign prince..spare no fucking expense. because our season is lost if we dont. this is ....war.

and texas rangers....your era at the top of the al west is as good as done.


i say if we sign prince...maybe pena' to play dh or left...or trade mass prospects for hanley ramirez...sign roy oswalt and a few vet arms for the bullpen we might....MIGHT be able to compete for the wild card this season. the angels rotation of weaver,haren and wilson just for the top 3 looks nasty. the best since zito,hudson and mulder were ruling things down in oakland. another thing to monitor. matt caine and tim lincecum have yet to sign long term deals with the giants. that was seabams main goal for the off season. If we could pry lincecum away...wow. its a longshot...but he is a seattle native and lives here in the off season. hellf iv got friends who used to take bong hits with him at the u of washington and another friend's friend is roomates with him up on queen anne hill. just a possibility. but hell..felix..timmy and pineada as a top 3? hell i can dream.

your pissed. lol. Thats all st louis is talking about and we are very pissed. At one point he stated is wasnt about the money, but it is. we offered him 200 mil for 10 yrs but the angels went 250 million. Who is their right mind couldnt take 200 million?? thats alot of money. dang. greed. We expected more also cantona!

yea it sucks. although i think maybe st louis should have offered 220. now the mariners probably going to offer fielder 200-210 mill over 7 years in order to even have a shot.

that was a great post man.....Brett Lawrie for MVP this year!!!

^ thanks dude i try.



soo braun has tested positive for some sort of performence enhancing drugs. really sad, i liked braun. this could also effect us getting prince. think of it this way. brew crew just signed braun to a 5 year $105m contract. brewers are probably thinking "shit how long has he been on these..how good is this guy w/o them" could make them drop the big $$ on prince to assure them they have power in the lineup with or w/o braun in the form hes been in. mariners need to ink this guy asap!!
