...the 2009 Mariners are a 76-72 team by PythagenMatt...meaning the 77-71 actual record isn't very lucky at all for their distribution of RS/RA per game. Predicting that Seattle will find a way to have a P-Matt ahead of their P-Pat next year is risky...but their weakness is easy to identify and they have the capital to fix it...so...there's no reason to think that they can't go out, find two bats and be a legit .540 team next year by P-Pat.
