For those of you who are (justifiably) distrustful of the Bill James projections but still want to look at some numbers, the 2010 CHONE projections are live. For hitters, anyway. Here are the Mariners , here are the free agents, and here are the Yankees , in case looking at the Mariners didn't make you sad enough. The first thing you should do here - as one should do with pretty much any forecasting...

Jon Heyman reports that Ken Griffey, Jr. will return to Seattle for 2010, with a $2M plus incentives contract for one year. Hat tip to David Pinto , who rightly reckons this a mistake for a replacement-level player. U.S.S. Mariner is nonplussed: If we assume that the M’s are going to carry 12 pitchers again, that leaves them with a four man bench. One of those spots is reserved for the back-up...
The off-season has already been a busy time for Mariners infielder Matt Tuiasosopo and won't slow down at any point soon.Tuiasosopo heads to Puerto Rico on Nov. 1 to begin a lengthy winter ball stint with the Criollos de Caguas squad. He'll be playing third base primarily, but had a recent conversation with the team's general manager and hopes to see stints at other positions."I'll be playing...
You know how testy we get when people make comments about how awesome our could be in years? Remember the Nageotte/Blackley/Meche/Anderson rotations, Clement/Johjima/Johnson/Moore catching caches and Ichiro/Gutierrez/Saunders/Ackley outfields? We do our best to try and keep people grounded on these types of issues because, as it turns out, the future is incredibly hard to predict and a hell of a lot...

October 1, 2009 I thought Pat & Ron were entertaining but this is in a league of its own. Seattle Mariners TV analyst Mike Blowers displayed his psychic powers Sunday. In his pregame bit “Pick to Click” with radio announcer Rick Rizzs, he chose infielder Matt Tuiasosopo as his player of the game. But he went one [...]
Mike Blowers may have been a mediocre Major League Baseball player, but he's one helluva fortune teller. The ex-Yankee, Mariner, Dodger, and Athletic played 3rd, 1st, and outfield during his 11 professional seasons posting a line of: .257/.745, 290 r, 591 h, 116 dbl, 78 hr, and 365 rbi in 761 games. He was actually drafted on 4 different occasions, finally signing with the Montreal Expos after the...
Move over, Sylvia Browne. Seattle announcer makes psychic prediction of the decade Asked prior to the Mariners game against the Toronto Blue Jays last week for a prediction for the game, Blowers said he expected rookie Matt Tuiasosopo to hit his first big league home run in the game. But not only that - he predicted that it would come on a 3-1 count. But not only that - he predicted that the pitch...
Jim Street / MLB.com : Blowers amazes with uncanny prediction — Mariners broadcaster calls Tuiasosopo's first home run — SEATTLE — Talk about making some bold predictions. — Mariners television analyst Mike Blowers went a little farther than the edge in Toronto on Sunday afternoon, when he selected Matt Tuiasosopo as his …
Mike Blowers gave a prediction during a pregame show for Sunday's Mariners-Blue Jays game that some would describe as "prescient", others as "clairvoyent", and still others as "dead-freaking-on". Blowers not only called that Mariners call-up Matt Tuiasosopo would homer, but also correctly guessed the pitch count and where the homer would land. Quick, do the lottery numbers...
