    yeah. The guy we traded has really tore it up with the Yankees. Oh, wait...

    It's like trading Carl Bonnell and getting Ossai

    Trade was a wash. Mariners gave away a guy who was overrated, got injured, and as a result got fat. In return they got a guy who was overrated, got injured, and as a result got fat.

    Honestly one of the Mariners better trades in franchise history because they didn't give up somone who could contribute for some young useless fuck who ends up on someone elses AA team.

    I don't think Pineda was overrated. Dude was good. He was just a pitcher, and pitchers tend to get hurt.

    Pineda had great stuff and could dominate with just his fastball. I remember scouts saying his delivery could cause problems with his arm down the line and it looks like it happened earlier than they expected.
  • Jack Z's successful trade percentage is just barely above Kim Grinolds predictions accuracy.

    It's incredible there are still some out there who defend Jack Z.

    The man who is great at running a farm system had just ONE player ranked in baseball america's top 100 prospects. ONE!

    Jack Z's great ... everybody Howard Lincoln and Chuck Armstrong say so
  • Jack Z is to Bill Bavasi what Tyrone Willingham was to Keith Gilbertson. Both should have never been hired and both were on the job for far too long.

    Wrong. He has three this year after five last year and five the year before that. Pretty sure he's never just had one top 100 guy.

    Don't get me wrong, I was done with Z the second he traded Jaso for Mike Morse, but I do think hes very good at drafting and pretty good at handling a farm system. Problem is he's terrible at constructing a major league roster.
