So, they lost David Ortiz, Omar Vizquel, Randy Johnson, Ken Griffey Jr, and Alex Rodriguez (either through their own stupidity or the player wanting out of Seattle) and still won 116 games while all those players were performing at a high level for other teams. I guess the point is that John Olerud ...

Wow, nice job there by Narvaez and Vogelblah with the pop-ups.

I'm done here. Go Jays.

Don't they lose a year of control of Sheffield because of bringing him up this year (when he wasn't ready)? No, Super Two and the cutoff for losing control happen pretty early in the season. Even with his service days from last season he should be well under. Sounds like you disagree with Donn.

Vogelblah now hitting .222. So much for him being the answer at 1b or even dh.
