Mariner Talk Chat Forum

Seahawks interviewed MacDonald in Baltimore yesterday. Today he is flying into town for a second "interview" I'd say that its probably close to a done deal and we might be seeing a presser this afternoon.

Small sample size, but he has raked at T-mobile. 13-31 for a .419 Avg and a .921 OPS. Also he has hit better on the road than at home for his career which should make it easier to transfer career norms while coming to a team with a pitchers park.

From 2001 to 2011 the Mariners ranked 24th in Runs scored. Just a shame that Ichiro's type of game doesn't lead to more runs because singles and stolen bases have such a low correlation to scoring.

Yeah the SEC has a couple of really physical teams but they also have a lot of crap in that league. Its no...

I do think that Ichiro will get credit with the voters for his time in Japan. Ichiro also has two batting titles, an MVP, a rookie of the year and a major league single season record. Beltre has none of those. I don't think he will be unanimous but I think he will get more votes than Beltre did.
