What have we become...

Well, if i continue on this sparatic tale of only updating once a week ill hardly be keeping you all throughly and gainfully entertained.... not that my audience includes anyone outside my family and friends on facebook....


So .. this is just a general update ...


and with Geoff Baker from the seattle times reporting that there was a supposed pirates scout in the audience tonight one has to wonder who was he there to see..

i must admit i am alittle curious to know and our trade talks seems to swirl around the phillies, rockies, and pirates and i would not count out a three way trade/deal of some kind ... and to be honest with the several reports that the pirates are interested in some of the rockies prospects one has to wonder if a trade between the Mariners, Rockies and Pirates isnt brewing ... lets just think about this what do we have to offer the pirates ...

yuniesky benacourt ... sure we a hate/hate relationship with this young man, he still has alot of ability and talent ... hey, they are willing to take a chance lasting millage .. why not yuni... not to mention we also have migual batista, jeff clement, wlad balentine and one or two more non perment arms from the pen that could go at any moment.

at this point in time i dont see jarrod or erik going to either one of these teams ... also im starting to wonder if a deal is really out there waiting for either of them. with all this talk of roy halladay being avilable .. it has alot of teams out in flury... and makes me wonder how it makes them feel going from 'Doc' Halladay to Jarrod Washburn.. yeah just saying that in one sentance makes me want to order anti-depressents ..

i think thats pretty much it ... i am going to go dig through some possible prospect hits with the pirates and rockies that we may get ... its really not Jacks MO to trade for someone like Jack Wilson ... he just .. dosnt fit in my mind ... while yes he has the defense and offensively he may be an upgrade to the current situation but he leave something to be desired ... i cant believe that this would be the seattle end game ... jack wilson... Jackie Z is too big for this and somethings going on .... outside of the ink thats on the paper ...
