Disco72 Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Jeremy Affeldt signed by the Giants for 2 years, $8M total. Seems like a pretty decent signing. I think Affeldt could have gotten a bigger deal, but we'll see how this FA market looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 More on the M's from Espn.com Yet Zduriencik, in barely three weeks on the job, has already begun transforming the organization. Scouting director Bob Fontaine -- responsible for the much-lamented decision to bypass University of Washington star and Seattle-area native Tim Lincecum in the 2006 draft in favor of Cal's Brandon Morrow -- was fired. Benny Looper, who had spent 23 years in the Seattle front office, most recently as vice president of player personnel, quit the organization rather than accept a demotion. He is now an assistant general manager with the Phillies. Greg Hunter, director of player development, was reassigned to the pro scouting department. In their places has come a string of new hires -- Tom McNamara, former Brewers' scout, as scouting director; Tony Blengino, Zduriencik's assistant in Milwaukee, as a special assistant to the GM; Pedro Grifol, promoted from within to director of minor league operations; Tim Tolman, the former Nationals' third-base coach, as director of minor league instruction. Zduriencik put Blengino in charge of creating a new department of statistical research, a sign that the Mariners are going to lean more on sabermetrics than they have in the past. That came as welcome news to many in the stats-minded blogging community who correctly predicted a negative outcome for many of Bavasi's moves -- including the so-far disastrous trade for Bedard that cost the Mariners several top prospects in addition to All-Star reliever George Sherrill. Don Wakamatsu, right, takes over a Mariners team that had the worst record (61-101) in the American League last season. "We want to take all the information at our disposal and combine it with our scouting,'' Blengino told the Seattle Times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Anybody agree with me we, like Obama, need change. I don't wanna see Paulie, Dye, AJP, Thome plod around the bases again this year. I want one gone. It's time to change don't you think? We barely escaped Minnesota due to a gutsy 1-0 win at home, then got smoked by the Rays as most expected. We need change in our lineup.
