If there was interest in Jack Wilson, there will be interest in Brendan Ryan.

The sequence behind everything is what's frustrating and alarming.

If Wedge and Zduriencik are trying to win games to save their jobs

If Zunino needs a mentor so badly, he should be in Tacoma.

No, but if my boss was a former helpdesk technician I'd expect him to do the mentoring.

Eric Wedge was a catcher! His damn job is to mentor and coach!

Injured.

One silly decision leading to another kind of seems to be the theme of the 2013 Mariners.
Commented on Mariners DFA Kelly Shoppach, Sign Henry Blanco on Jun 14 2013, 5:21p
Then why not just wait to cut Shoppach until then!?
Commented on Mariners DFA Kelly Shoppach, Sign Henry Blanco on Jun 14 2013, 5:20p - 1 reply
And we're back to whether or not it's smart to let Zunino catch 4-5 times a week at the ML level.

Just get Raul a lawn chair and set it up in left.

Given the age and history, I'd be willing to bet that over the remainder of the season Blanco will be significantly worse.

Does everyone need their own mentor?

It's still way premature to assume that this is suddenly the new baseline for Shoppach.

Wasn't Wedge a former ML catcher?

Zunino would be some miraculous exception to every other young catcher ever.
Commented on Mariners DFA Kelly Shoppach, Sign Henry Blanco on Jun 14 2013, 5:09p - 1 reply
Yeah, this only kind of makes sense (but mostly still doesn't) if you assume Shoppach is going to remain this bad.
Commented on Mariners DFA Kelly Shoppach, Sign Henry Blanco on Jun 14 2013, 5:07p
Based on what we know, this is really puzzling and kind of dumb.

So is Sucre back to Tacoma when he's healthy?

That's a whole bunch of hoops to jump through to make this even a marginally understandable roster move.

So thanks all for the input and advice on finding an engagement ring in a previous OT.

He's not exactly getting younger, so I can see what's left of his defense falling off a cliff fast.

Last time I recall they intervened was when they nixed a Jarrod Washburn trade

It's been years and the publishers are still looking for ways to up the ante on DRM.

DRM blows and I hate it.
Commented on 6/7 Off Topic FanPost of Doom on Jun 12 2013, 12:55a
Or in other words, I fully expect Sony's model to be abused by publishers.

I don't know what to make of either company's DRM schemes.

I could have sworn I read that Sony is letting third-party publishers dictate their own DRM.

I recall lots of people scrutinizing moves based on a 2012-2014 window.

God I hadn't even thought of that.
Commented on Ready or Not, Here Comes Zunino on Jun 11 2013, 5:01p
Essentially, Zduriencik just needs to wait until July to make this significantly less problematic.
Commented on Ready or Not, Here Comes Zunino on Jun 11 2013, 4:55p
And if we do that, then perhaps we lose out on the chance to get a free agent to add a few wins when we need it.

If he's up long enough, he becomes Super Two eligible and gains an additional arb eligible year.

There were no service time concerns with Ryan and Andino.

Threadjacking and posting, essentially, the same comment repeatedly is not conducive to a comment thread.

We're burning service time on a guy who isn't doing well and on a team that stinks.

Also holy shit, don't be an asshole.

I don't think anyone here wanted Zunino called up in April for no other reason than service time.

He might, but do you want to hurt his supposed best trait by throwing him to the wolves?

Giving up cheap, cost controlled time while he's not hitting well and while this team stinks is dumb.
