Best Pitching Rotation Discussion

Re: Best Pitching Rotation Discussion

I like Ackley, but he's had what 300 career at bats? Jury is still out on him, I don't see him being a silver slugger type hitter even if he hits his ceiling.

I bet 5 bucks he's an all star this year and hits .280 plus peding injuy.

Re: Best Pitching Rotation Discussion

So why dont you get on the other people arguing instead of just me? And im not trusting the writers, i've seen them in person, i read almost everything that has to do with sports, i know my team better than all the other non Mariner fans that just use google real quick to talk about how bad our offense has been, but they havent even talked about what has happened in those years, We just got Ackley who when he came in looked like a top 10-15 third baseman and is only going to improve.
What about all you that didnt know Justin Smoak hasnt had a full season under his belt and when he was healthy he has been great, or how about the fact that in only about 60 games or so Carp had 12 homers, or about the fact that those 3 players could easily get 20 homers, and with the additon of Montero the offense is hands down without a doubt going to be better.

Where did I say anything about me doubting the Mariners have a bright future? I know they have talent and that they could be pretty nice soon. But I'm not going overboard like you are. You're in overdrive defense mode. It's unbecoming.

Well since I saw bkrich83 guarante his team winning the World Series by 2014, I am officially stating, on the record, you can quote this, I mean it, blah, blah, blah, " The Phillies will win the World Series in the next 2 years"

But then again, it doesn't take a rocket-scientist to make an obvious prediction like that...

Re: Best Pitching Rotation Discussion

Wrong person bro, but change it fast so 55 doesn't see it and he won't talk about how you're dumb for 1 typo

I think it's quite funny that you keep bring up typos, yet you continue to make them (see above)

Re: Best Pitching Rotation Discussion

Their TV deal will be significantly less than a big market team. The Seattle market is listed as the 15th largest market.

When is the last time Seattle landed a big time free agent? Richie Sexson

The best part of this whole thread, is the part about if the writers say it, it must be true.

If you believe Forbes, they'll get an annual deal roughly worth $70m/year (50% of the Angels annual tv deal). Thankfully for everyone except the Yankees, Angels, and Dodgers (soon), money doesn't guarantee success in baseball. Otherwise, poor teams wouldn't consistently compete in the World Series.

With that said, why is this disaster of a thread even open? Its a pissing match about the Mariners, who obviously don't have a top 10 pitching rotation.

Re: Best Pitching Rotation Discussion

If you read what i've said earlier i've seen them play, you havent, im not a scout but from what i've seen their all the hype

I've watched the Mariners, and I haven't been impressed by anyone except Ackley. Seattle has a bunch of unproven, young hitters in an extreme pitchers park. They'll have problems attracting major FA's to come play in Safeco, becuase they're not going to be able to overpay a big name FA to play in Seattle. And Jack Z had a great chance to fleece the Rangers in 2010 for Cliff Lee. Instead, he only got Blake Beavan, Justin Smoak, Matt Lawson, and Josh Lueke. Compare that to what Colorado got for Ubaldo Jimenez. They got Alex White and Drew Pomeranz. That Cliff Lee trade could've been the turning point for that franchise, like the Mark Teixeira trade was for Texas, but he blew that opportunity when he ended up with Smoak and Beavan.


Anyways, I'm done with this little discussion. I still think that Tampa has the best rotation in the AL. If they can get to the playoffs, they've got a great chance of winning the World Series.

Talking about how a fan favorite of your favorite team is going to be a top 10 player at a different position that he's never played at is not a typo.

Re: Best Pitching Rotation Discussion

Anyways, I like the Rays...they are literally 6 or 7 men deep in that rotation. I love me some Matt Moore, think the kid is a stud. Mix him in with Hellickson, Shields, Price, and whoever they want to fill the 5 spot with and that's an incredible rotation.

Dude, they're winning the World Series in 2014 and going to the playoffs next year. Brett guaranteed it. You should be excited.

Dustin Ackley could be a top 3rd basemen...

what, you're expecting me to put an "if they" statement here? C'mon I'd never do that.

Re: Best Pitching Rotation Discussion

Guaranteeing a WS win by 2014, and saying things like you know for a fact they will be great in the future is more than offering an opinion.

Hell saying them having a bright future is not even arguable, goes beyond simply an opinion.

This is what I saw. I guess I didn"t read it carefully enough. I'm sorry. But my guarantee still stands. Again, I apolagize.
