Surely he jests.

The Mariners seem to love middling (or less) pitchers with decent but unexceptional G/F ratios.

[TruffleShuffle]

by the way, ted lilly at $1M per year less than silva is quite the bargain. well it's either a bargain or the mariners are pissing way too much money away on a mediocre pitcher.

[RynoRules]

Wow are they going to regret that deal.

[hankp101]

I see the deal was actually worth $48 million now. Wow. Do you think the Ms might have been willing to pay more based on the fact that he won't cost them the draft pick(s) that other available starters would, as he isn't even a Type B?

1)Type B's don't cost draft picks (you only get a sammich)

2)What other available starters? Kyle Lohse? He wasn't an A or B either.

I have a feeling that the bigger money teams feel that as long as a pitcher makes 30 starts a year and somewhere around 180 innings, without getting completely rocked, they won't regret any deal.

[Clem Fandango]

Bill Bavasi is such an idiot

[badnews]

You can sort of understand the reasoning behind Silva even if you don't agree with it. But I don't understand the Kyle Lohse business. Is someone actually going to give him big money? There is nothing even remotely convincing about Lohse.

 

The Mariners are paying Miguel Batista and Carlos Silva $21 million a year. Fantastic. Now that's money well spent!

Mariners are gonna love this deal.

I'm not a big fan of batista but he actually wasn't that bad for them last year.
