2012 OSFM: Seattle Mariners

Re: 2012 OSFM: Seattle Mariners

I could just be overlooking it, but there's some guys on the Mariners who I can't find on any roster for the M's or their affiliates.

Scott Patterson
Jarrett Grube
Eddy Martinez

There might have been one or two more that I couldn't find and am wondering if they are still with the organization?

I know Patterson & Grube are there, I was just looking through the lineup yesterday.

Patterson was released, Grube is in Tacoma, I've never heard of Eddy Martinez but i think hes in AA I would replace him with Luis-Antonio Jimenez. Valiquette needs to be replaced with Leury Bonilla. With those changes we have a near perfect AAA

Edit:

OK I believe Eddy Martinez was released as well, he should be replaced with either Eric Campbell, Scott Savastano, or Jesus Sucre.

Patterson should be replaced with Bobby LaFromboise or Steven Hensley.

It's down to Campbell and Savastano for me on replacing Martinez... Not sure which way to go with that one. I think I'll probably go with Savastano.

I went ahead and added Hensley in place of Patterson.

Season has started well, I believe. Good games against a top 5 team make me very hopeful for this season. On that note, I am not a big Michael Saunders fan, but he is swinging the bat nicely so far. He has been pretty good in the field too. On The Show, he is awful! Does he need a ratings boost as well?

4 seam images has photos from the last two Jackson games, it looks like they are covering the whole series. I might update some faces and equipment if guys look any different.

Edit:

In other news, Kyle Seager has the 5th longest HR of the year so far at 446 ft - someone needs a power boost...

That was an absolute blast.

M's found their 3B of the future... Love Catricala, but he might need to start playing left field.

Unless of course a whole shuffling of positions occur... Ackley to CF, Seager to 2B, Catricala stays at 3B... Very unlikely, though.

I hope Figgins continues to hit well and increases his value, because his days in Seattle are numbered... Especially when Guti and Carp get off of the DL.

Anybody watch Felix tonight? Unreal. Best I've ever seen him. His change-up is becoming un-hittable.

He was dominant.

Once again, his offense and bullpen crap all over him.

It is a baseball tragedy that this organization is wasting his best years.

Oh man, tell me about it. Nights like tonight absolutely have to make him ponder his future here...though I do believe he wants to stay. How do you handle pitching 8 shutout innings w/12 Ks....& losing? Freaking joke.

I've said it before but I believe in his heart, Felix wants to stay. He probably loves raising his family in Seattle and loves pitching in Safeco Field. I think there is a definite level of genuine commitment there from him, but I agree in that I absolutely think he is pondering his future with this organization.

When he's on the hill, I see a competitor with a fire in his belly and having starts like this wasted has to be eating at him. You could see it if I were a rare occurrence, but it is not. He is routinely taking losses when he should be winning games and adding numbers to his HOF credentials.

This organization has sold him short for so many years... I don't expect him to stay in Seattle past his current contract unless drastic organizational changes are made for the better, and that's to no fault to him. He's going to have teams in his ear telling him what he's missing and it will be hard to not agree.

What I think will happen is the rebuilding efforts will continue, the team will be sold, but from a results perspective, the team will still be struggling next year and the year after. Felix will either ask for a trade or the M's will trade him to continue to bolster their farm system. Trading him is an idea that makes me sick, but our fan base's morale has never been lower. Attendance numbers are pathetic, so what real fear is there of backlash from trading him? It is a sad, sad scenario but I think it's realistic.

And for that, I would not blame Felix one bit. Not one bit.

I hope and pray that I'm wrong and tonight's loss is just making me a little irrational, but man, how much let down can the kid take? These are precious years in his career that he will never get back.

Re: 2012 OSFM: Seattle Mariners

i'm getting really tired of seeing Olivo and Ryan in the lineup -.-
finally Iwakuma got his chance to pitch and did pretty good...maybe he can get back in the starting rotation, i hope so

You are right, I am sick of seeing, Olivo flail at every pitch that is thrown to him. Jaso has a much better approach at the plate.
