Braves hire Dave Wallace as Minor League pitching coordinator

From the Seattle Times we get this news of another hiring in the Atlanta Braves front office. Dave Wallace was known as one of the better pitching coaches of his generation, helping to develop the arms of Orel Hersheiser, Pedro Martinez and John Wetteland, to name a few. The past two seasons, since leaving the Boston Red Sox in 2006 and spending a year with the Houston Astros , he'd been with the Mariners...

Mariners pitching co-ordinator Dave Wallace moves on

Dave Wallace was known as one of the better pitching coaches of his generation, helping to develop the arms of Orel Hersheiser, Pedro Martinez and John Wetteland, to name a few. The past two seasons, since leaving the Boston Red Sox in 2006 and spending a year with the Houston Astros, he'd been with the Mariners. His first job here was as a special assistant to GM Bill Bavasi, and then this past year...

Trades Of The Decade: Bedard To The Mariners

After months of speculation and one false alarm, the Mariners acquired Erik Bedard from the Orioles in February of 2008. The cost? Tony Butler, Kameron Mickolio, George Sherrill, Chris Tillman and Adam Jones. Then-GM Bill Bavasi told reporters that the Mariners were getting "one hell of a player," and he wasn't the only executive who thought so. Before the trade became official, a rival GM...

Thinking About The Felix Situation - Part 1 (Emotion)

Apologies ahead of time if I kind of bounce around between points or leave some things out. I haven't planned this post. I feel like, if you're going to write a post centered on pure emotion, as little of it should be pre-meditated as is possible, so I'm just going to sit here, type, and see what happens. I already know where I want to end up. I just don't know how I'm going to get there. Onward! So...

On One Less Obvious Possible Benefit Of Team Chemistry - A Thought

If the 2008 Mariners were good for anything - aside from knocking Bill Bavasi out of a job (have you heard that Felix Hernandez hasn't yet signed an extension') - it's that, looking back, they provided a yin to the 2009 edition's yang. A year ago, ours was among the most toxic clubhouses of which I've ever heard. There were cliques and disagreements and nobody got along. This season, however, was the...

Back of the Rotation Depth

Bill Bavasi did a lot of things poorly during his time with the Seattle Mariners, and one of them was to overpay for back of the rotation arms. He gave Jarrod Washburn 4 years/$37.5M, Miguel Batista 3 years/$25M, Carlos Silva 4 years/$48M, Jeff Weaver 1 year/$8.325M and traded a promising young arm in Rafael Soriano [...]

Angels' Hall of Fame: Small Hall or Free-For-All?

The Angels have re-upped their "Hall of Fame" with two new members, Brian Downing and Chuck Finley, absolutely deserving of the honor. Well, no sooner was Fin's speech done than the crass politicking begins. For some reason, out of a list of possible names, blogger Steve Bisheff plays his grumpy old fart card and beat the drum for the inclusion of Bill Rigney into this prestigious institution....

Goodbye?, Erik

Mariners Send Jarrod Washburn To Tigers For Two Pitchers

ESPN reports that the Mariners have sent Jarrod Washburn to the Tigers for rookie lefty starter Lucas French and minor league lefty Mauricio Robles . On the surface, it looks like the fact that Jack Zduriencik got anything of value for one of Bill Bavasi's most egregious mistake contracts is impressive; the fact that he got a couple young lefties is even more impressive. French has a 1-2 record in...

The Erik Bedard Trade: A Gift That Keeps On Giving

February 5, 2008, could go down as one of the most important days in the history of the Baltimore Orioles baseball club. After weeks of speculation, the Orioles finalized one of the best trades in franchise history that day, sending ace left-hander Erik Bedard to the Seattle Mariners in exchange for outfielder Adam Jones, reliever George Sherrill and minor league prospects Tony Butler, Kam Mickolio...

Amongst the flurry of trades over the past couple of days you may not have noticed that Chris Tillman , of the Batlimore Orioles, made his major league debut on Wednesday. Otherwise known as, "the guy who was in that really stupid trade that Bill Bavasi made to get Erik Bedard ", Tillman was one of the best prospects in the game. In 101.1 innings in Triple A this year, he had struck out 99...
