Re: Free Agent Signing contest
I'm down with giving COTR (when reading his post, that's exactly the moniker I thought of, too) an entry.

Re: Free Agent Signing contest
I found y’all with Google. As I said, friends, colleagues and family members aren’t interested in talking Mariners baseball, so I turned Google.
This is the first hit if you type “Mariners discussion board”. I lurked around (in a decidedly non-creepy fashion) and followed threads till I felt this might be a place where I could contribute. Took about a week to get registered - and ba da bing, ba da boom.
Thanks for any thoughts you have. The contest is cool and all, but I just like talking baseball.

Ya. I'm either the guy that scoops up a botched punt with one hand, zig, and boot it 68 yards or I zag and get sacked 20 yards behind the LOS and fumble.ice99 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 03, 2021 8:01 pmYou zig when everyone else zags. You could win another win prediction contest, or come in last, lol.rockycola wrote: ↑Wed Nov 03, 2021 7:55 pmJust setting us up for another unexpected, over the top season of 99 wins this time!
My list for the contest was not my Wishlist. That list includes: Seiya Suzuki, Marcus Semien, Blake Snell. Dellin Betances and Nelson Cruz, among others.
I just don't see Dipoto able to swing that many deals. I think some of his swings will result in strikeouts. He wasn't known as a strikeout pitcher in his MLB playing career either, only 352 K's in 495.1 innings).
Some of our brethren forum brothers, more than one, had JD trading for and FA signing 8 new players. That would be a lot of excitement and I'd welcome it but 33% turnover is massive. Hey, if shooting for and landing on the moon gets the M's to the World Series, then giddy up and ride 'em buckaroos!!!
I field the ball with my bare hand and throw the runner out to get my pitcher his no-hitter or I'm Bill Buckner.

Re: Free Agent Signing contest
Welcome to the Forum! Your moniker is great. Seems you should put your name on the FA signing list. We need a fast lead-off hitter, that once on 1st, can get to 2nd on a steal, due to your Case Of The Runs!Case_Of_The_Runs wrote: ↑Wed Nov 03, 2021 9:30 pmHi all – I have been following this board for a while, but just recently joined up. By way of abbreviated introduction, I’ll just say that I am a longtime fan of the M’s as I lived in Seattle for many years. I relocated to the Bay Area, and it’s impossible to talk M’s baseball with anyone here since they’re either A’s or Giants fans (including my family). This board has been a great outlet for me to see what other M’s fans are thinking.
I will take a crack at the FA contest, but since I didn’t join the board until yesterday, I missed the deadline. That’s fine - I am just interested in what y’all think. I will also hasten to add that I am not a sabermetrics guy. I have a basic working knowledge of those data, but I have seen how proficient and fluent most of the regular board members are, and I am just in a different league.
There you have it. Feel free to tear it all down – this is honestly my first serious attempt at putting my thoughts to paper, so I would be happy to see what folks who really think about this think! Thanks!
Probably been 10 years ago, when this was the Seattle Times Mariner Forum, I lurked for a long, long time, too. Also, non-creepy. Right everybody???.........Dead silence. Hmmmmm.
Then jumped in, feet first and never looked back. The sad news is D-Train, Darren, had a home in Kirkland. He and his lovely wife, Lynda, had a Forum party there every summer at their house. Actually meeting many was at first a little intimidating, then it was perfect. Sadly, Boston called and we traded Darren to the Red Sox for sack of used Bazooka Bubble Gum (ABC gum).
