The Mariners Don’t Know What They’re Doing – Sounding Off
https://soundingoffblog.com/2015/06/13/the-mariners-dont-know-what-theyre-doing
The Mariners Don’t Know What They’re Doing. June 13, 2015. This organization is lost. This isn’t a knee-jerk reaction to what has transpired over the past couple weeks performance-wise. It’s what I’ve seen Jack Zduriencik and Lloyd McClendon do that are consistent in what I’ve seen from them in the past. They say that you can’t win the division in April, but you. He’s bad. It’s obvious. His philosophy in how he’s constructed these baseball teams is severely flawed. Let us talk about how the roster is cur...

https://soundingoffblog.com/2015/07/30/dustin-ackley-traded-for-mediocre-prospects
Dustin Ackley Traded for Mediocre Prospects. July 30, 2015. On the other hand I’m thinking, Welp, this is the end of an era. My beloved man crush has now departed. What prospect do I root for now? This move is definitely met with some relief, but also heartbreak. I feel as if though I just put my family dog down. Dustin Ackley was, and I suppose. My favorite player. Felix, of course, doesn’t count. He’s everyone’s favorite. At 5’10, 190 pounds, Flores isn’t a big guy. Likely because of this, Flores a...

https://soundingoffblog.com/2014/12/18/mariners-make-a-seemingly-unsexy-trade
Mariners Make A Seemingly Unsexy Trade. December 18, 2014. So, the Mariners didn’t exactly trade for Justin Upton. But what they did might be better. Let me pump my brakes: The Mariners acquired OF Justin Ruggiano from the Chicago Cubs in exchange for 25 year old RHP Matt Brazis. My favorite part of this trade? I had never heard of Matt Brazis up until this point. Bad, and Ruggiano is. Take advantage of these market inefficiencies while they last! Share on Facebook (Opens in new window). You are commenti...

Analyzing the Misconception of Matt Kemp. July 28, 2014. July 29, 2014. The Mariners are apparently interested in acquiring the likes of. In 2012 and 2013 combined, Kemp played in 179 games. In these seasons he displayed really. Probably not. Let’s say theoretically the Dodgers would kick in a good chunk of cash. They would cover half of his contract. Would you even give Kemp 6/$65M at this point in his career? You probably still wouldn’t. And. His hitting doesn’t rationalize his contract. This year ...

https://soundingoffblog.com/2015/02/13/mariners-add-one-rickie-weeks
Mariners Add One Rickie Weeks. February 13, 2015. February 15, 2015. The Mariners have arguably the best second baseman in the MLB right now. So it makes sense that they signed a player who’s exclusively played second base during his major league career. That sounds a lot like sarcasm. But what that is not, is sarcasm. This move makes some sense, and honestly it’s sort of genius. The acquisition of Weeks almost definitely has. 8220;Right now, everything we’re being told is he’s on target and ...So from t...
