<p>As noted...I don't have a problem with the strategy of giving up upside and risk for certainty, so long as the financial terms are reasonable and you're not locked in for 3+ years (because that carries its own risks)...my problem was with Leonys Martin (because I think he will be worse as a Mariner than #Austin #Jackson was) as the guy to supposedly reduce risk...and I had a problem with giving up certainty (C. Smith, T. Wilhelmson) in another area. But of course...he can make it make sense even further by adding free agent relievers with higher certainty quotients...and I actually like his idea of pitch-to-contact, multi-inning relievers to mitigate rotation risk.</p>
