Praying that Bavasi doesnt make a franchise destroying move...

I havent been posting as often....for a couple reasons....Mainly Fear.

Poker hasnt gone well lately...so havent been posting that.

I have it in the back of my mind that if I post too much......then Bad Karma, and Bavasi will make some stupid trade that will gut the farm.....leave the MAriners with no defense and pithcers who will all leave within 2-3 years.....

Essentially nothing left......

Okay...rant time....

Brad Wilkerson???!?!?!?
You have to be friggin kidding me.....

Rumors are that the Mariners are interested in him (Mainly if Adam Jones is traded).
Hmmmmm.....

Yes that would be the stupidest move in the world....
Ichiro....Ibanez...Wilkerson outfield.

Ichiro cant cover the ENTIRE OUTFIELD!!!!!!!!
3-4 pitch to contact pitchers...and a horrible outfield defense is what Wilkerson will doom the Mariners with worst defensive outfield in the AL....and that is with Gold Glove Ichiro.

HORRIBLE IDEA!!!!!!!

Especially since WILKERSON = RICHIE SEXSON JR

Its one thing to create a lineup of Hack first and dont strike out guys....but then to add strike out first guys who hit a few HRs in the mix....

FRIGGIN STUPID.....

I will cease being a Mariner fan if this happens....Jones gone and Wilkerson in his place?
It creates anger beyond belief thinking about it.

Would I like to have Bedard? Yeah, but not making the Mariners the worst franchise in the world for the next 10 years I wouldnt.
Trading all talent in the minors away for one guy....who "might" help the mariners get to the playoffs.....

Thats what I said "MIGHT" help them to the "playoffs".....Not the World Series...not winning in the playoffs....it will get them a guarenteed 2nd place in the West....and a 40% chance of making the playoffs.....and in return...it guarentees them in 2 years when bedard leaves.....

They will have Felix....and a Team full of nothing...Ichiro nearing the end of his career....no talent in the minors to replace anything...and the Mariners spending 5-10 million for players who have no talent.

ARGH.....just the though of it is stupid.

Maybe Jones straight up (okay maybe some toss in talent...but the guys that they are talking about including...morrow, truinfel, Tillman, Butler, etc etc....
Come on....at least half are gonna end up being Major leagues...and at least 1 or two REALLY good MLs.

For what...a 2 year rent a guy who wont resign with us?

If this was 1-2 years from now...okay....maybe...but the Mariners are not that close to being an elite team....and a Bedard trade for Jones...doesnt make us an eltite team...if anything...IT GUARENTEES THE MARINERS WILL NOT BE AN ELITE TEAM IN THE NEXT 5-10 YEARS.
Well...Okay...if they increase the Payroll to 400 million and purchase the best players from other teams (give them 20 million for a player)

See I can even write....its such a horrbile plan....

Brad Friggin Wilkerson....OVER RATED...he has been over rated for YEARS...I remember stories 3 or 4 years ago how he was suppose to get Teas over the hump....add soooooooo much to the texas line-up......come on...
What did Brad Wilkerson do for Texas?????????
NOTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sammy Sosa did more for Texas that Brad Dream killer Wilkerson.

Brad Wilkerson....is Richie sexson with less power....and even less at Safeco field.
He's more like Willie Bloomquist, with no speed, or defense....Willie might hit more HR in safeco that Wilkerson. (I am totally serious)....he hit how many HR at Arlington? a Stadium my daughter can hit HRs in.....
And we expect him to hit 25+ HR at safeco?????

Get Real.....

and with HORRIBLE defense....

Mr Bavasi...if you replace Jones with Wilkerson....I will become a Angels and Yankee fan...
which will probably cause me to go insane.

Bedard, yes
Keep jones too, yes
Wilkeson, HELL NO....not even as a DH.

What is up with people liking this guy....he is pathetic...so what he hit 20 HR....for a corner OF that should be a requirement (unless hitting 300++ with speed and defense)...
It makes Brad average....not something to strive for.

Please Mr Bavasi...dont screw the fans over....especially the fans who are stupid enough to think Brad is a good idea......

Just say No to WheelChair OF defense
