Mariner MVP

Flexen, Sewald, Steckenrider. Examine their stats, minor and major league, and ask yourself, HOW did the DiPoto Mariners find these guys??

DiPoto is the Mariners MVP

How does he do it?

in making trades, DiPoto fleeces no one. Jack Z used to say it's better as a GM NOT to fleece another GM because he'll stop trading with you. Jerry makes solid trades and might actually “lose” more often than he wins. I’d take Mikey Z over Fraley right now. St.Louis loves O’Neill and will love him for a few years at least. Marte is a top notch player.

I Threw It All Away

Way back, in 1985, I created what is arguably the longest and oldest continuously running roto league in Seattle. We began back when Roger Clemens wasn't yet Roger Clemens, and in 2021 are still going strong. Younger generations have come in, and stay, or go. Old timers (OGs - original gangstas) have moved on, except for 3 of us, and a couple who, like Ronnie Wood of the Stones, deserve the title for their years of service. A couple have yet to win the title, but like the M's, hope springs eternal.

Kyle Lewis at Arkansas

I know that Jeff took great delight when others posted on the site and loved nothing more than when there was a spirited comments thread.

Kyle Lewis in 6 games in the majors has hit 4 home runs, most of them clutch, with 6 runs, 9 RBI and a WOBA of over 220. He was the 11th pick and on a great track before his injury, but for The last few years his prospect sheen steadily wore off.  There was some hope coming out of spring training, but he hit only .265 with 11 home runs in a whole season at Arkansas.

Having followed along the conversations here for years I appreciate everything all of you have brought to SSI and would like to extend an invitation to all of you to check out the new Mariners chat forum at www.MarinerTalk.Com

Was heartbreaking to hear about Jeff. His level headedness and amazing insight will be sorely missed in the Mariners community. Hope to read more from you guys in the future at MarinerTalk.
