everyone is injured. its all for naught!!!! guardado and soriano are probably going to be out. so here is my opening day roster for not sucking quite so much.
ichiro rf
reed cf
beltre 3b
drew lf
boone 2b
howard 1b
ibanez/bucky DH
olivo C
lopez SS
rotation
clement
pinero
meche
moyer
madritsch
bullpen
closer: putz
lh: sherrill, thorton
rh: mateo, nageotte, franklin
so we spend our $30M on three players. so what! so what if they are the 3 best young players on the market and we won't get any of them. so what if our bullpen is made up of a bunch of rookies and mateo and franklin. i'm not the gm, these aren't my problems :D
but yeah, we trade some dudes to the phillies for howard instead of getting delgado who is old and injured and way way too expensive (he made $20M last year). maybe they will take winn. i think they need a center fielder, and he put up some stats last year that will convince people he doesn't suck (which he kinda does). they've got thome, what do they need with this dude. maybe scott boras will give us a volume discount if we go after beltre and drew at the same time :P NO, he's going to milk us for all we are worth and we are going to get neither. and by the time we've gotten neither, the yanks will already have beltran, so our big move in the offseason will be winn and talent for howard, and then overpaying for 2 veteran pitchers like morris and millwood, leaving us logjammed at pitcher AGAIN. go mariners!!!! king felix for overlord in 2006!
