Well that’s 4/5 of the Mariners projected opening day rotation on the DL now…

That’s why the post stated it was 80% of the Opening Day rotation.

Hmm… Seems like 4/5 is close to 80 percent. Maybe them supermetrix things ain’t so hard after all.

Wow, nice job just repeating what was already clearly pointed out in the article

I was just seconds ago reading the comments on fister signing. A commenter said iwakuma was a health concern. Daaamn

Wow Steve, way to jinx him yesterday!
Anyway, hope it isn’t serious. Seattle being forced to rush so many younger or more questionable options will unfortunately put them in a spot where they might see a death-spiral affect of more and more injuries to the fill-ins who are being pushed and a bullpen that will get taxed

It’s not over yet.

I hope that he recovers to get the 94 innings needed to trigger the $10 million contract. Former Seattle management loved passing the big contracts around and he deserves getting his due!

I love Iwak. When he’s right and healthy, he’s a classic slow mechanic; painting the strike zone with 3 or 4 productive pitches. Fun to watch at his healthiest, it’s just unfortunate that he’s never been able to stay on the mound without getting nicked up. I’d be shocked if he returned to the Ms next year. Hopefully he comes out firing for the rest of the year once he returns for a nice swan song with the Ms…

I posted this just now in the vesting post from yesterday, but Iwakuma would get 15 mil if his option vests, not 10. So id be happy to let Iwakuma chill until mid June just to make sure that we can be out from under him in 2018. The beauty of this current stretch is that hopefully someone random makes a case to get a 4-6 week audition in the rotation

Here are the terms of his vesting option. Kuma pitched 199 innings last year and has 31 so far this year: $10M Team Option, $1M Buyout option guaranteed at $15M with either 162 innings in 2017 or 324 innings in 2016-17
