The Mariners have earned all the doubts that we have about their seriousness when it comes to truly competing - and paying what it takes to compete.
But the Mets and the Cubs have shown that money alone does not = competitive teams.  And with our $100 million, 100-loss team we've made our dubious notes in support of that statement too.
If the Mariners will pay what it takes when the opportunities are there, I'll have no complaints.
If we can't add mid-season trades because Ackley made $800k too much in arb then I'll light some torches and storm the castle right with you, DaddyO.
But I'm gonna wait through this year to see what the next moves are, and how much payroll we've set aside to accomplish this resurrection.  I may be unsure about the stones of the men with the purse-strings, but Jack feels like he has the burning desire to win that I want to see out of the front office.
And if he finally turns the corner with this talent and we start the climb back up then perhaps he can inspire the money-men to man up as well.
