Read a story by Buster Olney saying the Mets will be listening to offers for the all star 3b. With the black hole that the Mariners have currently at 3b (all due respects to Kyle Seager), I was just wondering what you all thought a fair exchange would be? I think Pineda + 2 midlevel prospects would be fair, especially considering the depth the M's have at SP in the farm system with Walker posting great numbers and Hultzen expected to be a fast riser. What does everyone else think?

I've resigned myself to another lost season.With a bottom 5 finish almost guaranteed, barring an epic winning streak (remember those?) I was wondering what prospects there were to look forward to in next year's draft. I was hoping for a name or to that would make all this losing somehow worth it. I couldn't find anything on my own so i was hoping someone here had more insight than i do. 

I don't know if maybe someone posted this before, but i stumbled upon this nugget during my daily procrastination.

"Every year, after the AL manager addresses his team, Ichiro bursts from his locker, a bundle of kinetic energy, and proceeds, in English, to disparage the National League with an H-bomb of F-bombs, stunning first-timers who had no idea Ichiro speaks the queen’s language fluently and making returnees happy that they had played well enough to see the pep talk again."
