Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Fetters baseball knowledge even worse than his football knowledge.

Hahahahaha. I like to compare a underachieving/always injured outfielder to a future multi all star one. It is what I like to do.

    @Chris_Fetters -- seriously that is an absurd premise.

    What's funny about that is that it isn't Joe Public calling out F3, it's his fellow "media" colleagues.

    Apparently the only person that loves Saunders more than F3 is Churchill.

    Saunders is average at best. Happ is pretty average too but put him in Safeco and he could have a solid season.

    Comparing this trade to possibly the worst trade ever in the history of the Mariners organization is beyond fucking stupid. Stick to your faggy sport their hot air balloon overalls.

    They clearly value and respect him...

    Thing about the trade is that the Mariners had limited depth in the rotation in the upper minors. They were going to need to sign a pitcher (at minimum) if they needed to use one of the young arms for trade. Moreover, it is a GIANT risk to go into the season with 3 young starters that have never started and completed a full MLB season.

    Happ might not be great - but he tends to get hurt by the long ball. That should be mitigated a bit at Safeco - see Young, Chris. Additionally, he has experience pitching some in relief and can fill a role as the long man in the pen such that he's on standby IF there's a problem in the rotation.

    It's a bad trade. But the comparison is CFFS.

    The money is the only thing that makes it a "bad" trade.

    A back of the rotation SP is more important than a 4th OF who can't hit.

    Roster cost efficiency aside, I think this helps the team. If they don't make another move, it won't be because of Happ's contract.

    It is far from a bad trade. Marinera have hardly any depth in the starting rotation and Saunders is too inconsistent with his injuries and his play to be worth it. We are trading an average hitter and bringing in a reliable starter into a pitchers park. It's not a bad/good trade really.

    So does this mean Saunders goes on to win the batting crown?
