Ty France waived

[SoulfishHawk]

Rumors that the Astros are interested. I have a hard time thinking a team that actually cares about winning would want him.

I don't see anybody taking on his salary given his production this year. It's kinda like trying to trade people in football at the end of training camp. Just wait til he's released and pick him up in FA.

I kinda wish he clears waivers and chooses to stick around and get sent down to Tacoma. He could use the low stress work, I think.

Just feels like if you are going to cut him just cut him. Feel like it should have been done earlier. Feel like Locklear got screwed a bit.

Update: They just traded him to the Reds for a minor league Catcher. Better than nothing.

 

[Crizilla]

He wasn't waived he was traded. If he wasn't traded soon then he would be put on waivers.

Good dude, but it's been time for a while.

These guys gotta go too. You can't fill your entire line up with .200 hitters. Can't do it.

Where is Mike Singletary where we need him?!!! He'd be an immediate upgrade to the Mariners media and PR staff!!



OK, a few minor wording changes to the script...
"I would rather play with first base uncovered, rather than play with a .200 hitter, when I know, he'll strike out or hit into a double play. Cannot play with them, cannot win with them, cannot manage with them; Can't do it!"

...Singletary continued, "In other news, the team has re-signed Mario Mendoza, out of retirement, to be our new DH. I would rather send out the 3rd base ball girl to bat, than send a sub-200 DH up to bat. This way, our DH will always hit at least even with the Mendoza line, because he IS the Mendoza line."

Another win for our player development.

Is the blame to be put upon the front office for getting these over achievers ? Or the players themselves?

How Mariner of them .

Jerry Dipoto needs to be fired. This franchise is a mess. I love my Mariners but it’s tough rooting for these guys.

At least I have my cars to work on
