Would feature such things as -
1) Jack Z - the guy who drafted you, gave you a shot in the league, still has a major man crush on you, etc.  And has the eye for talent that made your current team what it is - and in regards to the M's has them...
2) Loaded w/ potential - Felix, Pineda, Ackley, Smoak, Carp, Seager at the ML - in the minors arms like Hultzen, Paxton, Walker and Campos and bats like Franklin and Catricala, that just needs...
3) A marquee bat (in the literal sense).  A name to go up in lights, the face of the marketing and promotional department.  The franchise savior, the big booper, the Prince to go with the King.  Check out the King's court Mr. Fielder, you stand to inherit it all.
4) And to top it all off, we'll pay a few $$ more than the other guys.
Add it up to all the rest (SafeCo is a great place for LHs to mash and an awesome ballpark to boot, Seattle is a gorgeous city in the summer with great food, culture and friendly press, the fans are loyal and awesome and create the best blogosphere in the game... I mean, take him to a Seahawk or Sounder game to see how crazy we can get, etc... etc.. etc..) - and really, why wouldn't he want to be a part of it?
