96-66 in 2003 91-71 in 2004 88-74 in 2005 After '03, he lost Miguel Tejada, Ramon Hernandez and Mark Ellis. After '04, he lost Tim Hudson, Mark Mulder, Mark Redman and Jermaine Dye I don't know if terrible or sucky would be the proper adjective for a guy working with a 55m payroll. Not to push this thread in a different direction but Seattle lost Randy Johnson, Alex Rodriguez, Tino Martinez, and Griffey Jr. and then went on to a 116-46 record. So yes it does make me think no one is worth 15 mil a year also.
