The Seattle Mariners where a bigger let down last year, worse then being stood up for prom. Every expert penciled Seattle in as number one and we all know how that one ended. But the Mariners are talking rebuilding. Why? Two years ago the same team almost made, why not build. It all begins with the manager. Ned Yost, please no. I hope the new Gm isn't to biased, Ned Yost would be the worse fit for this club. Seattle needs a players coach, a coach that understands the players a bil-lingual player so there no race cards being played. Anyone watching the Mariners saw the disfunction. Joey Cora is a great fit as manager. Bobby Valentine's also a good choice but any other laxidasical manager will not have success we need accountability.
New blood has to be implemented ecspecially with left handed power. The Mariners might lose Rual Ibanez to the Cubs or Mets. So we need a left fielder and a center fielder Wladimer Balentine is no where close to ready. So sign three left handed hitter for three positions Bring back Griffey a decent priced option for center field, Garrett Anderson for left/ dh and even as odd as it sounds Jason Giambi for 1b/dh. All three player would benifet from the short porch in right. All player will be cheap bargains based on age and production that they can bring. If u want someone younger sign a Bobby Abreu. But Seattle is only ofense away fro mplayoff. Sure another arm or two in the bullpen. Maybe Arthur Rhodes comes back and Josh fields gets signed then all of a sudden u have a better teams. Dont trade J.J. if he was healthy he would had 25 more save oppurtunities. Thats 15 to 20 more Seattle wins.
Were way to close to rebuild it would be a shame to miss out during Felix's prime before he elects for greener pastures. Cause face every superstar leave Seattle, we'll except Edgar.
