Man if only Felix Hernandez would have taken the Braves offer… The Mariners seem kind of hit and miss when it comes to signings. They mishandled Brandon Morrow and now he looks like a future star in Toronto. Hopefully Dustin Ackley works out at second base, he killed it at UNC.
Jayson
Go Mariners!

What the hell my Yankees had a chance to sign him dang. I’m sure everyone feels bad for us lol. Oh well I don’t really get to see him pitch living in CT and watching the Yanks but looking at his stats I think he has to be considered the best if not one of the best pitchers in baseball. I can’t wait to see what his stats are when he is in his prime if he does continue to get better if thats possible. As far as I’m concerned though the greatest pitcher or maybe I should say the most dominating pitcher in his prime was Pedro Martinez but there has been 90 years of baseball history before I even started watching baseball so I’m sure there’s an arguement. I mean pitching to an era under 2 and he did it in 2 different seasons in the AL East in the middle of the steroid era is jaw dropping impressive.

Thanks again for Morrow.

Your welcome, but I know that Morrow has tons of talent and nasty stuff but he’s never been able to put it all together, he lacks consistency. Maybe he will pan out because he’s still young I wish him the best of luck

He also wasn’t handled well in Seattle, always going back and forth between the bullpen, minors and the rotation..
Jays did the right thing, sat him down said listen you’re going to be a starter come hell or high water.. After Walton tweeked his delivery he really started to come on strong and develop consistency

Theres only three trades I regret the Mariners making in the last 5 years
trading away Shin-soo Choo for nothing and Rafael Soriano for Horacio Ramirez
and Brandon Morrow
Honorable mentions are Adam Jones and Matt Thornton

2.29 million for a 93rd draft pick overall?
RustyJohn
Local boy- played at UW, father former Seahawk.
Matt
He would probably have gone higher at the time but everyone expected him to play football @ U of Washington.

thanks again for reminding us Mariner fans of some of our drafting failures, not like peeling back the scab to pour salt on the wound
Jeff Wise
I am quite certain that the money spent on Dustin Ackley will pay off in the very near future.
P.S. Please don’t remind me about all the money the M’s spent on players that aren’t there anymore.
