  1. https://www.nami.org/help Peace be with you, my friend.
  2. Shed Long made my Father's Day this year: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3QXmpuQCrU The walk-off grand slam came off Tampa Bay reliever Diego Castillo, who was traded to Seattle the following month.
  3. Surprisingly, MLB Trade Rumors listed Chad Pinder as a non-tender candidate.
  4. This sentimental poster is a fan of Marcus Semien, a second-generation Golden Bear at Cal (where my daughter attends law school). Robinson Cano was offered as a positive comp for Semien. Using WAR conversion, the Mariners got their money's worth from Cano (although his 2018 suspension helped undermine the M's 89-win season).
  5. Where are the projected WAR for 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026 and 2027? On the other hand, Marcus Semien is exactly the age Robinson Cano was in December 2013 when the latter signed a 10-year, $240 contract with Seattle. FWIW at the time of the signing, Cano had posted 44.4 bWAR in 1,374 games while Semien has posted 28.7 bWAR in 1,020 games. Cano posted 23.5 bWAR in 704 games over five seasons with the Mariners (who were relieved of half of the suspended Cano's 2018 salary).
  6. Marcus Semien is a fine player but should a team go, say, six years and $144 million for a 31-year-old middle infielder who has posted an OPS+ above 100 only twice in his nine-year MLB career?
  7. Thanks to a high walk rate and five homers, Jeter Downs ranks 28th in OPS among 72 hitters in the Arizona Fall League: Arizona Fall League Statistics | MLB.com WWW.MLB.COM Hitting and Pitching Statistics for the Arizona Fall League
  8. Indeed Alex Cora did a fine job with a club assembled on a $189 million payroll.
  9. The Yankees could complement their righthand-heavy lineup by signing both Seagers, whose father played college ball less than 10 miles from Yankee Stadium at Fairleigh Dickinson. In his college bio at the University of North Carolina, Kyle Seager listed the Yankees as his favorite team.
  10. The Seattle Mariners traded Wade Miley to Baltimore after 19 starts for lefthander Ariel Miranda, who posted an ERA of 4.64 in 43 appearances, including 40 starts, with the Mariners. Miley and Miranda turned in impressive 2021 seasons as Miley posted an ERA+ of 141 and an ERA of 3.37 in 28 starts while Miranda won the equivalent of the Cy Young Award in the Korean Baseball Organization: https://en.yna.co.kr/view/AEN20211112005500315
  11. The Detroit Tigers reportedly will lose only their third-highest draft pick for signing Eduardo Rodriguez. https://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2021/11/tigers-nearing-deal-with-eduardo-rodriguez.html
  12. To be precise: The Mookie Betts trade brought back five years of Alex Verdugo.
  13. The Oakland Athletics may be reluctant to keep Lou Trivino with his projected 2022 salary of $2.9 million in his first year of arbitration. The A's will be an interesting team to watch this offseason.
  14. Reports were that the trade of two months of Kendall Graveman resulted in an immediate intense negative reaction in the Seattle clubhouse. Those emotions reportedly calmed down two days later when the Mariners acquired three years and two months of a more established reliever in 27-year-old Diego Castillo. Small-sample reliever ERA has its limitations, but post-trades Graveman had a higher ERA than Castillo and Joe Smith.
  15. Indeed, a larger sample of 61 games as opposed to the cited 13 games. The 2021 Seattle Mariners' 19-15 record againt AL East teams included a 6-1 record against the 100-win division champion Tampa Bay Rays but a losing record (13-14) against other AL East clubs.
  16. Indeed ... to cherry-pick a small sample to fit a particular narrative.
  17. After the trade of Kendall Graveman and Rafael Montero for Abraham Toro and Joe Smith, Graveman posted an ERA of 3.13 in 23 appearances with the Astros while Smith posted an ERA of 2.00 in 23 appearances with the Mariners. Diego Castillo posted an ERA of 2.86 in 24 appearances with Seattle while JT Chargois, who went to Tampa Bay in the Castillo trade, posted an ERA of 1.90 in 25 appearances with the Rays. The Mariners were 55-46 (.545) before the Graveman trade and 35-26 (.574) after the trade.
  18. From the Seattle Mariner PR department: https://marinersblog.mlblogs.com/9-reasons-scott-servais-is-2021-al-manager-of-the-year-1c2c4ea473d1
  19. A FanGraphs columnist projects Eduardo Rodriguez with a four-year, $80 million contract: https://blogs.fangraphs.com/2022-top-50-free-agents/ Scroll down.
  20. Either number makes the point. That's the point. Any poster who cherry picks should expect to be called out.
  21. According to Steamer's 2022 fWAR projections, Ty France would again rank fourth among Red Sox hitters: https://www.fangraphs.com/projections.aspx?pos=all&stats=bat&type=steamer&team=3&lg=all&players=0 https://www.fangraphs.com/players/ty-france/17982/stats?position=1B
  22. Below each player's ceiling but above each player's floor.
  23. Steamer projects 2022 fWAR of 3.9 for Luis Castillo, 3.1 for Sean Manaea, 3.1 for Frankie Montas and 2.8 for Chris Bassitt.
  24. FWIW this year 27-year-old Ty France would have placed fourth among Red Sox hitters in fWAR (ahead of J.D. Martinez, Alex Verdugo and a full season of Kyle Schwarber). France remains prearbitration next year.
  25. The Jarren Duran projections are in line with the "conservative" 2022 projections for speedy lefthand-hitting Seattle outfielder Jake Fraley, a plausible comp who is 16 months older than Duran. https://www.fangraphs.com/players/jake-fraley/19260/stats?position=OF https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/f/fraleja01.shtml
