I remember challenging Sandy to wait until the Mariners actually put together a winning streak before putting too much stock in it. Since then they have put two good ones together. Hat's off to ya, Sandy.
With a team like that you can't get too high or too low. They will look super during the winning streaks, but they're not that good. They will look terrible during the losing streaks, but they're not as bad as they will look.
Hang around in the race long enough and you never know what might happen. I'm trying not to get too excited about Peguero because I know the league will book him and force him to adjust or die. Imagine if he actually progresses how that will transform the Mariners' lineup, especially if Ackley adjust quickly once he comes up. Come the July deadline, if the M's are still in it, things could get very interesting. Imagine:
Ichiro
Ackley
Smoak
Imported DH
Guttierez
Peguero (progressing enough to warrant owning LF)
Olivo
Ryan
Figgins (or, if he's hitting you can put Figgie 2nd and insert Ackley before Olivo)
