The funny thing is, I'm not all that surprised. The Mariners IMHO are a little overrated offensively. Justin Smoak in particular is massively overrated

They did it behind the (somehow) surprising strength of their pitching staff.

Damn. Beavan had a decent season eh?

I'm disappointed with Trout but confident he'll heat up soon. Pujols, Trumbo, Hamilton, and Kendrick are killing it for me. Before he got hurt, Ianetta was playing great. Conger got hot too filling in. Callaspo is the only one I'd be looking to ditch, but I will wait for Cowart to be ready. He's doing well in Double A.

Cowart has hit well for me in AA, but he's not showing much pop.

As a possible replacement have you given Luis Jimenez a shot? Average to above average fielder, but he's hit .296/.328/.525 for me. His plate discipline sucks, but he's got some pop, and with that lineup he's a hell of a #7 or #8 hitter. At least he has been for me.

Just bought it, got swept by the Nats to open the season losing each game by 1 run

Jimenez has been solid Thanks for the recommendation bk. I play out all the games so his discipline or lack of it is not as big of a deal. I'll likely leave Cowart in AA then.

Welcome to the game my friend. No shame in losing to the Nats. At full health, they along with the Reds, Texas, and the Dodgers, are always amongst the top teams to start.

So what does Mike Trout do after I trash him to you guys? He smacks a two run homer and a grand slam in a 19-2 thrashing of the Mariners...I should just keep telling you he sucks lol...
