“The As may finally have a rotation.” They almost always do; that’s their strength.

But this won’t be their year because of lack of hitting.

It’s not sustainable, but he’s legitimately pitching better than he ever has as a Mariner.

I propose that we let Kila Ka’aihue become the regular DH, and maybe give him a shot at the whole GM thing too.

Washburn’s tRA*, though, is 4.98. That FIP isn’t sustainable.

While I agree that Dayton Moore has made some extremely questionable moves that the Major League level… ***cough Jacobs***… but I think that we can not fully evaluate he tenure just yet. Dayton Moore’s number one job for baseball ops should be and has been to build an established farm system. In the two years he has been here, I feel that this goal is being accomplished(although it is still a work in progress)

I do feel that the first year player draft tomorrow will go a long way in determining Moore’s tenure as a success or failure.

Dayton Moore definitely hasn’t done well with the offense…but the pitching was the worst in the league when he got here too..and he’s done pretty well in that regard at both the major and minor league levels. He’s made bad decisions, but he’s also done a lot of things right too. Taking a quick look at the rosters he inherited (including a woefully damaged minor league system) I think it enough to show that he’s made progress. We’ve gone from a complete joke in every regard to a mediocre franchise, but improving. He definitely needs to get it together when he comes to offense though. We’ll see how his drafts pan out in a couple years.

Maybe when Gordon gets back, maybe him and Butler can start producing like they should be..that would be a big boost. We’ll see. I’ll stick with my 79 win prediction..they can’t stay in THIS bad of an offensive slump forever, and the pitching is still decent.

Careful, Dave. You’re treading potentially horrendous waters when you bring up the Royals around here.

Here’s to Jarrod Washburn continuing his quality year in the hopes that Jack Z. can move him for something good.

I’d love to get a breakdown on Billy Butler’s situation. What does the future hold for him?

but Dayton Moore has a lot of work to do fixing that group of position players.

At this point, is Dayton Moore the guy who should be doing the fixing, or is it time to look for a new GM. He’s had a whole bunch of epic fail going since he got there.
