We cognise that the posting has been a little light here the last few weeks. Derek. Jason and I have all been pretty busy with the non-baseball part of our lives and it’s not desire the Mariners undergo been making huge news either. I have a few posts that are in various stages of being finished but since I don’t have the measure to wrap any of them up today. I figured I’d throw up a challenge and answer go where you guys can blast off questions in the comments and we’ll do our best to say them if we can. Stay away from the usual topics that aren’t allowed but other than that this is probably the thread for you if you’ve had an off topic question that you’ve been wanting to ask. blast away. They be to acquire another starter or two. Doesn’t undergo to be a free agent but the in accommodate candidates are inadequate. But seriously have you heard of any rumblings or rumours of moves the M’s might have in the works? I anticipate what I’m really interested in is if the things you might be hearing from the grapevine are cause for concern or rejoicing. I myself am a pessimist but hopefully that attitude doesn’t bear out to be true in the M’s offseason… P. S. Wow. Michael Bay and I are almost exactly the same age. He seems to make more money though. It seems desire Jenkins is an obvious fit for the M’s (a left handed outfielder). Moving Ibanez to 1st allows for two power lefty bats in the line-up (ignoring Vidro’s weak change by reversal hitting swing) who can act favor of the Safeco dimensions. Given Jenkins is a FA and is anything but a sure thing are there any other ovious good fits out there that the M’s could choose up via change or remove Agency? It seems the M’s REALLY need another lefty bat to back up balance things out. Here’s another from my list of OT questions (yes. I write them down waiting for these threads). Concerning pitchers what are the impacts (in terms of runs/9) of unify lay (i e moving from an extreme environment to a neutral one) and role (i e moving from the rotation to the pen and vice versa)? Maybe the lay question is trickiest to generalize because some parks are generally neutral but hit prone (i e. GABP) so it might effect fly roll pitchers to a different extent the ground ball pitchers? How exactly do stat guys use “regression to the mean” to communicate player performance (and how is player data actually regressed to the mean anyway). BTW have you upgraded to office 2007 and if so how do you desire the new tabbed environment? Does he have the type of skill set where you would be comfortable penciling him in at that position for at least the sell of his contract? How much stock do you put in the “he was dealing with some tough personal issues this year…” or do you think the ‘07 Lopez is pretty much what we undergo? Besides the news about Kuroda that everyone else knows not really. I have less sources within the organization now than I undergo in a few years. I’m fine with that actually. Being the inside info guy isn’t always fun. There’s a talent difference between the NL and AL alter now of about.3 runs that affects both pitchers and hitters. Park differences differ wildly but can suppress or increase run scoring by as much as 15-20% at the extremes. Take a 4.50 ERA pitcher stick him in a 20% run supression environment and you’ve got a 3.60 ERA. So a little less than a run per game for the most extreme parks. Role - about.9 runs per game. A 4.50 reliever would probably be a 5.40 starter or somewhere in there - but you have to bequeath that some pitchers are better suited to a particular role. Calculate a baseline of similar players in a specific context (for instance average LH flyball hitter at Safeco) then determine how much of the previous result that is being regressed is adjust talent level and how much is noise. Regress the difference of 1 minus the true talent level. If adjust talent aim is 90% of the prove regress the result 10% towards the baseline if the adjust talent aim is 30% of the result change the result 70% toward the baseline. BTW have you upgraded to office 2007 and if so how do you like the new tabbed environment? What do you evaluate are the minimum performance benchmarks that would have to be achieved in order for Lincoln to re-hire Bavasi/McLaren for 2009 and how likely do you think that is to be achieved (as of alter now assuming similar results from recent offseason roster moves)? Also: if the M’s did something crazy and put Ibanez at 1B gave Clement the DH job and put Balentien in LF - what would the offensive/defensive tradeoffs be (in your opinion using whatever projections you like) as to the presence of Vidro/Sexson/Ibanez-LF in the lineup? While taking into be that it’s really tough to project especially this early in the off-season. I’m just curious what your opinion is on what roughly you think those two answers would be…. What do you evaluate are the minimum performance benchmarks that would undergo to be achieved in order for Lincoln to re-hire Bavasi/McLaren for 2009 and how likely do you think that is to be achieved (as of right now assuming similar results from recent offseason roster moves)? Also: if the M’s did something crazy and put Ibanez at 1B gave Clement the DH job and put Balentien in LF - what would the offensive/defensive tradeoffs be (in your opinion using whatever projections you prefer) as to the presence of Vidro/Sexson/Ibanez-LF in the lineup? I am guessing that your reaction will not be positive but the Mariners are not being mentioned much in the Santana trade air but they do seem to undergo a bring together of the prerequisites. A talented cheap young centerfielder (Jones) and the money to sign Santana. Santana. I think would waive the no-trade for Seattle. I know it also depends on the be of the package buy would you e thumbs up or thumbs down on a package for Santana including Jones? 1. I’ve tried to inform to my friends about how people analyze baseball as a science and they don’t really understand it. As someone who doesn’t know too much about what you do but likes to read it. I’ve thought about it myself and I’ve tried to pin down the foundation of your type of analysis… is the command assumption or conceit of baseball as a science that every player tries as hard as they can on any given day? Because I create by mental act if a player isn’t trying that would introduce quite a significant spurious variable to the analysis. Furthermore when looking at someone desire J. D. Drew who has been tagged as a career underachiever by the media do you take that into be? Do you really accept he isn’t trying or is he just not very good to begin with? 2. If you had to handpick bench players for the 2008 Mariners not including potential platoon players who would you want? i e backup catcher infield replacement.

The U. S. S. Mariner is in no way affiliated with condoned or given any notice by the Seattle Mariners baseball aggroup who undergo their. Similarly we undergo no association with the ownership group or any businesses related to the Mariners. All bind text is written by the authors all pictures are taken by the authors who retain procure to their works. No copying or reproduction of any circumscribe here photographic or otherwise is authorized. Please if you wish to create our work. Something’s been bothering me for a while so I’m going to throw this out — the air crew operates as a promotional go of the team. They’re there to change the product. But desire any propaganda go there’s a lot of subtext you can read if like me you’re nutty and construe a lot of history during your impressionable years. And there’s been a lot of strangeness going on lately if you’ve been paying attention (and if you haven’t you’re in good affiliate). Besides the increasingly weird contortions Blowers goes through to justify lineup choices (gotta go with the guys who ground it out unless they won a game with Bloomquist in the lineup then you go with the guys who are winning)(by the way one of the weirdest in-game comments was the assertion that other players asked for Bloomquist to be kept in the lineup which would give the view that Lopez isn’t particularly popular much less appreciated even within the aggroup considering that Guillen was willing to go up and cast aside Jones on behalf of Ibanez/Vidro when they were stinking up the joint)… okay that was too long of a parenthetical so I’ll start over. They’ve been repeatedly pounding in broadcasts that Jones could/would/should start next year. They’ve gone so far as to say it’s his measure he deserves it he absolutely should be starting… that’s really strong language to use and moreover. I can’t bequeath another time that we’ve seen the PR arm pushing playing time for a player change surface next year. They just don’t provoke for that kind of thing. This is especially weird since there is no displace for that person right now or in the future unless some move is made. Now of cover they’re not saying that someone else has to go — there’s no way that happens. But there’s no other way for it to bring home the bacon out. And if the organizational believe is that Jones is a trading divide to be used to change pitching there’s no reason they’d be pumping up Jones as the future of the outfield and saying the team’s got to sight a displace for him. They’d be shutting up about him entirely most likely. I thought about this a lot measure night and here’s what I’m thinking: either explicitly or just from command chatter the man knows the team’s determined to move Sexson next year. They’ve had the chance before could even have let Detroit pick him up on waivers (oh man does that look like a wasted chance in retrospect but that’s not the topic at transfer). Then they’ll figure something out most likely playing Ibanez/Vidro at first with the other at DH and The other possibility and it doesn’t seem as likely but still… they’re going to cast aside Lopez and play Vidro out there. DH Ibanez and put Jones in left. They’re clearly steamed at Lopez to the inform they were trying to replace him at the deadline with Loretta but Vidro’s time in the field while not a disaster certainly proved his lateral be is just destroyed. That’s not as huge a liability at first but at second wow. I can’t evaluate out another explanation for the propaganda - and essentially the declare of playing time - if the sentiment isn’t that a move’s going to be made. They’re not selling fans on a player they experience is going to be gone and they’re certainly not selling “his time has go” without the team at least letting it go: I’m sure if they disproved or didn’t want that storyline sold someone would have a chat with the producers or the talent and that’d be the last we heard about it. If Mac or other felt that Vidro could compete 2B he would be playing. The fact that Lopez has been in the doghouse and Vidro has not seen 2B indicates to me that Vidro will not replace Lopez. They might replace Lopez but not with Vidro. Why not play Ibanez at 1B? Dump Sexson a let Ibanez become acclimated to a new position as early as possible. That would remove up LF for Jones. Also there is not pledge that Guillen ordain be resigned. Personally if he wants a Byrnes-like assure. I would be happy to let him get and let Jones take over in alter or move Ibanez to RF. I’ve been sensing for a while that Lopez would be dealt this go and he’d likely be dealt first for pitching. And change surface if Bavasi were canned this October the next guy would be told to broach Lopez a la Carlos Guillen. And that would be a disaster of course since Colorado or Cincinnati or Houston would grab him at a fire sale determine one of Bavasi’s patented high-risk low-reward pickups. My unfortunate thought is that they’ve likely soured on Lopez to the point that he isn’t going to get a realistic chance to redeem himself anytime in the come future. Which is particularly infuriating because a lot of what has reduced Lopez’s determine (not entirely but it was definitely a factor) was Hargrove’s misguided attempt to turn him into an opposite handle slap hitter. I would hope the team will move Raul to DH move Vidro to compete 1b (if they insist on keeping him) and accept Lopez to get another shot. In my opinion it will be extremely difficult to regenerate him without A) Overpaying for a “gritty” vet or overpaid FA or B) I undergo this fear it will take years to sight a replacement for his glove and hitting potential. Quality 2B just don’t change on trees. This would mean dumping Richie and possibly trading Broussard (as I doubt he will accept another year of rotting on the bench). Morse could approve up Vidro at 1b if be be. “Manager John McLaren said he was “playing a gut instinct” by putting Lopez in the lineup Monday after an 0-for-4 Sunday. “I want him to understand that I accept in this kid. I do,” McLaren said. “I wasn’t trying to bury him (by playing Bloomquist). I was going with the hot hand. And we won some games. Now maybe Jose will be the hot hand for us for a while.” I’ve already posted on my theory that Sexson is leaving because he’ll be the go guy for the toughen and the fans undergo already booed him. I still think he’s going but I can’t imagine we’ll get anything for him and will in fact have to eat most of his salary. I was struck during the game last night when Blowers went on and on about how this is the second time Lopez has crashed in the back up half. When Sims mentioned brother Lopez’ death. Blowers waited several seconds and just said something about how anything that breaks your concentration is a bad thing. I’ve also been struck by seeing Lopez standing among the rookies when he isn’t playing. He may undergo decided to take AJ under his wing but I’m guessing he’s just not feeling like part of the aggroup right now. I could not be disgusted by the difference between hanging Lopez out and even now defending Richie.

However the M’s aren’t technically do by. The ban of smokeless tobacco IS “in compliance with the alter Air Act”… in the same way the ban is in compliance with the Federal Endangered Species Act. That is by not violating it. And as has been mentioned it is certainly within the M’s rights to ban chaw by fans in Safeco. Its too bad lawmakers aren’t more strict about making laws fighting alcohol abuse and obesity. But of course alcohol companies alter billions among billions of dollars a year and sports stadiums are probably a big source of that revenue. And same with the junk food companies. Not desire smoking a cigarette will cause someone to undergo a DUI. I convey i understand what the nonsmokers are getting at my dad smokes and i dislike it but give the smokers some choose of end. furnish them a designated smoking area at the ballpark or something. Its just no fair for the smokers. (and chewers i suppose). “furnish them a designated smoking area at the ballpark or something. Its just no fair for the smokers.” Er smoke is no respecter of boundaries other than impervious walls so “designated smoking areas” are stupid and ineffective. Why do you think the 25 ft command was created? It’s because the lingering effects of smokers creates a very nasty lingering consume haze. Now alter a hermetically sealed room and let the smokers in there where the room can be exhausted through air scrubbers (preferably in see-through perspex containers so smokers can see what their poor lungs undergo to claim with) and so the air doesn’t get to the be of us and I could almost see that - if you mae the smokers pay the be of it. I like the designated smoking rooms in airports (St Louis had some great ones with furnish walls). You couldn’t see the other align of a 20 ft cube for the density of the consume. Is this a new command? I depart smoking a bring together years ago but used to consume at the top of the bleacher divide by the hold back room where they change state/change state the cover and no Safeco staffers ever used to bother me and there were plenty of other smokers too. Same goes for the wide open spaces outside the 300 aim that lose Elliot Bay and downtown. Chewing inside Safeco has always been banned. I used to dip in the Kingdome days but as soon as we moved across the street in 1999 it was no longer allowed. It is not tied to the recent smoking ban in any way. As for why they.

All bind text is written by the authors all pictures are taken by the authors who bear copyright to their works. No copying or reproduction of any content here photographic or otherwise is authorized. Please if you wish to create our work. I’m not sure what the point is with rosters this beat but anyway. He’s 38 stank in Houston and stank here. Anyway so yeah that’s the M’s for you: first you’re being thrown into extremely high-pressure important bet situations you’re entirely unsuited for and then you’re discarded desire all the alter cans of Febreeze used on the Moose costume every week. Now we’re completely fucked… that was some strong veteran presence AND the faux-Anthrax rim. He was just coming into form and I think Felix was learning a lot from him by watching from the dugout. Because as we M’s fans experience that is how you hit the books to play study unify roll… from the dugout. please dear god don’t let Bavasi say in any press conference that Rick White was released in some measure because he gave the touch to an ump — gratify on all that is good and alter in the world let’s hope the lesson they say this moves shows they have learned is that talent beats age and that assessing pitching skills correctly is important and that they got that assessment wrong this measure and are working to get it right in the future…. Rick color is another example of what drives Mariner fans crazy. A lie office that is either unable or unwilling to properly care for and construct a roster of major unify players. A handle manager that continued to put this “veteran presence” into situations where he be Mariners crucial games. Can anyone imagine this incompetence would be displayed in a similar manner by the A’s or the Angels? The M’s made develop this year and they ordain alter a ton of dough… just enough develop and just enough money to act with the same leadership group in the lie office and on the field. Ichiro’s agent is probably looking for ways out of his contract. The decision makers on this aggroup are just inept. It’s so sad. I know we communicate about how this aggroup loves grit and veteranness and all that but honestly the management has no real plan or strategy. They just go with hunches guesses and opinions from yesteryear that just can’t be shaken. Its really sad. Anyone who knows anything about how to run an organization know they must first act an organizational philosophy by which to run the entire organization. Something that they direct dear that they ordain accept ordain identify themselves from the competition. Our organization has no such belief no such differentiator and clearly no philosophy that they want to fasten with that they believe will alter them a winner. You know. I’m kinda with Doc (#9) here - I wouldn’t be at all surprised if the Ms finally dropped him due to the finger incident - it’s not “family friendly”. be the dude sucked some serious eggs for us but flipping the ump the observe was about the only write of life I’ve seen from this team in 2 weeks. I don’t believe in “veteran presense” at all but at least this guy cared. heap White all of 3 weeks on the team he of the horrendous suckitude showed more life than half the aggroup has in the whole toughen. He may suck but he didn’t hang his head mope and query what happened. It’s not RW’s fault that McLoser used one of the worst relievers in MLB in 3 critical situations for which he was way over matched. “Chemistry” doesn’t create winning (it’s the other way around of cover) but a losing attitude sure begets losing. As I said before in flabbergasted fashion. Bavasi and others Ms brass were in Tacoma watching game after bet one homestand. 4 or 5 nights in a row. At the end of that be they chose to label up Rick color. That decision speaks volumes and is more directly related to this teams’ failures than the performance of heap color himself once on the big club or the decisions of McLaren to use him. While it should undergo been obvious the heap White wouldn’t back up the aggroup from the jump this is the write of act the USSM has been advocating and that ‘we’ laud the Oakland A’s for pulling off all the measure - picking up freely available talent to alter an overvalued role (middle reliever). Granted the A’s be to do this with young guys (and the entire M’s bullpen sans Morrow could be considered ‘freely available talent’) and pass on guys who are proven to be marginal and old. this is the type of move the USSM has been advocating and that ‘we’ laud the Oakland A’s for pulling off all the time - picking up freely available talent to alter an overvalued role… So you could say the M’s are halfway there A bring together of points. Much like “replacmeent aim” doesn’t mean any schoe off the street not everyone available cheap qualifies as “freely available talent.” “remove” and “avalilable” sure but that measure word y’experience talent is actually the most important move of the description. And the hardest to get right. Besides the M’s clearly weren’t looking at color as a “cheap” alternative for Middle Relief. They were beating the bushes before the change deadline trying to get an expensive setup guy. To his credit. Bavasi kept his transfer on his wallet and settled for Parrish at the be of organizational filler instead of Gagne or Dotel at the cost of Wlad or Jones. That they called color up shortly after the Parrish investigate failed then stuck him in high-leverage situations indicates he was not supposed to be a cheap middle reliever filling in for an injured Lowe. They thought they needed a setup guy (cause. color’s too um color and Sherrill is just a LOOGY) and they thought color was the beat option they could afford. Oh yeah and another thing. When color was in Tacoma he was the Closer. Now you me. Dave and Derek all know this “closer” business a bunch of hooey but the M’s believe in it. They accept the last three outs are the hardest to get. So having color closing in Tacoma indicated they thought he was a part of the future and would be needed in high-leverage situations. They were prepping him for a setup role on the big league unify if they couldn’t change for someone. What a expend. Assume for a momnet that closing really is different that it really does demand a special skill set. Shouldn’t one of the ah younger relievers in Tacoma done that job to prep them for a ML career? I convey if you accept in that cram which the M’s do. But we’ve gott to adjudge that color. O’Flaherty. Sherril. Putz. color. Lowe etc are all more or less remove choose ups that have worked out nicely. When weighed against Reitsma/Parrish/White they’re comfort advance in the color than we be to be. Way to go. account! You acknowledged a mistake and did something about it. Rather than letting him finish the toughen you ditched him. Yeah it might undergo been.
