hit the road jac...yuni

What else can i say ... the mariners make a trade .... really THE trade... Jack Zduriencik really has a knack for getting the greatest value. As some reports in the past year the Royals had been offering as much as billy butler ... and as suspected Yuni's stock has fallen quiet significantly, HOWEVER, we get the Royals TOP,best, pitching prospect in their system. We also got a nice little left handed flame thrower from the bull pen. If only one of them, make AAA this trade was worth everything that we gave up.

The real story i think is that even though we are eating a chunk of salary it does in turn, free up some space on our end. you know ... the same of about 5 million dollars...which is funny because that is alittle more than what jack wilson or freddy sanchez will cost for the rest of the year.... while everyone seems to be on the sanchez train i have to think there is more than just jack wilson or freddy sanchez. Dont get me wrong ... they are great players ... but something just dosnt click with me. I really think we should be going after a short stop. Sanchez is great but he wont be playing short for any amount of time and Cedeno (or as lookout landing often referes to him as Ronny :(edeno lol...)

Both Ryan Divish and Geoff Baker eluded to there possibly being a third team and im still riding the rockies-pirates-mariners train but there is a few more times that are interested in freddy sanchez. Hes a great player but unless we are completely done with beltre or lopez he ultimately dosnt fit in to the seattle scheme beyond 8 weeks...



Okay .... more on the trade.

Here is what ive got ...
