Doc,
Just to be clear...I like League. He has been a fine reliever, and I definitely see potential in him. Further, I am sure pitching coach Adair had some say in this, coupled with the fact that Adair coached League before in A / AA timeframe...and Adair very really helped White and others...Yes League will be fine.
Just please stop with the comparisons to Papelbon and Riviera though, 'cuz there is no way I can make that leap now...maybe ever.
League will be as good as White was last year, and hopefully between League and Lowe and Aardsma and Kelley and HOPEFULLY a LEFTY...our pen can be as good as last year's pen.
AS to Cool Papa's post...that is also how I envision the FO works. Further, I'll bet it all got whipped up by Timmy winning Cy #2. I am sure Jack has been searching for a trade partner for a while, and when Toronto was interested in Morrow in the Lee trade...Jack just kept at it.
By the way, other players shipped out include Nelson, Cirillo, the "wife beating" reliever, and a few others that John Q Seattle public really had a problem with for reasons off and on the field.
