DBAHO Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 So the M's closer in 2006 will be....... According to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, the Mariners are expected to decline their $6.25 million option on Eddie Guardado for next season. Seems like a mistake. Guardado would be a terrible risk on a multiyear deal, but the Mariners aren't likely to get anyone better for 2006 without committing a lot more money. Guardado doesn't figure to exercise his $4.5 million player option to stay with the team. Once Billy Wagner and B.J. Ryan sign, Guardado should find several teams interested in his services.

sayitaintso Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Do you guys think that the sox have a legit chance of signing Guardado? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Guardado wants to be a closer, and the Sox have Jenks and Hermanson in line in front of him. I'd expect Guardado to wind up with someone like the Phillies or Atlanta, who need a proven closer (I'm assuming that Wagner is gone, gone in Philly).

Wedge Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Didn't Guardado have some fairly serious problem with his rotator cuff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was nursing a torn rotator cuff most of last season. He missed the last 2 motnhs of 04 with it. He rehabbed it, but some are wondering if it still bothers him (it is still torn) - he blew 4 saves after August 10th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that, I'd be really leary of signing Guardado as much more than an option out of the bullpen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that, I'd be really leary of signing Guardado as much more than an option out of the bullpen. Given that he wants to earn more than $4.5 million or so (shooting for the $6 million range)....let the BoSox or the Yankees grab him. One of those 2 teams will pay him the cash - they're both in desperate need of bullpen help after last season. And just like so many of their other FA Signees...he will be overpaid by them, and his arm will snap in half sometime around June. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted November 1, 2005 Author Share Posted November 1, 2005 FWIW, I think he'll end up signing in Arizona, depending if Josh Byrnes really wants to go after him. Bryan Price the D-Backs new pitching coach was the M's pitching coach last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
