What will it take for the Seattle Mariners to get better?
Question:Seattle used to be okay to great during Piniellas years and have had great players like Arod, Randy Johnson, Ken Griffey Jr, and Ichiro... but as of late they have just stunk... they will always be my favorite bball team, but what problems areas do they need to address in the next few years to get better?
Answers:
Overpaying for mediocre veterans like Jeff Weaver and Jarrod Washburn isn't going to do the trick.
Felix Hernandez gives you guys a bonafide ace at the top of the rotation. But Weaver, Washburn and Horacio Ramirez are not the answer.
Adrian Beltre was a disaster waiting to happen too. This guy had NEVER had a year like that before... he had a career year in his walk-season... and the M's fell for it and paid him.
They need to make better personel decisions and figure out a way to fill out that pitching staff internally. Good starters just don't hit free agency often any more... and if you have to sign pitchers, you're stuck paying $10M a year for other teams back-of-the-rotation starters... guys like Jeff Weaver, Gil Meche, Ted Lilly, etc.
Who will make the baseball hall of fame soon?
A new team.Ichiro is gone after this year so add him to your list.
They need owners for whom baseball is a hobby, rather than a business. Steinbrenner doesn't care how much money it takes, as long as the Yankees win the world series. The group that owns the Mariners expects the team to make a profit.
Since Beltre was a bust and Sexson only hits dingers that set the M's back some. They are stuck with these guys.
They will have to try and find some chump team to unload these guys on to get better.
Kiss Ichiro goodbye.
Lots and lots of prayers!
An act of God!

pitching.Which player has had the most surprising season so far?
They are not afraid to spend the money-over 100 mil salary. But they just don't sign the right players. They always overpay shaky free agents.I guess they need a better GM!
