Bay Looking to Stay Home

According to several reports in the Seattle Times. Jason Bay, free agent LF from British Columba is really liking the idea of making Seattle his full time residence. Bay now makes his off season home in near by Kirkland.

And as reported by Baker of the Seattle Times has stated, via Twitter, while playing with the Pittsburg Pirates, "he would stand on his head and sing."

Now does this mean that Seattle will receive some sort of hometown discount. Who knows. Boston has already offered by 4-year, $60 million. I feel the Mariners could easily surpass that offer.

So that being the case here is how the lineup/rotation on opening day would look for me:

1. Chone Figgins, 3B
2. Ichiro, RF
3. Jason Bay, LF
4. Russell Branyan, 1B *
5. Jose Lopez, 2B
6. Ken Griffey Jr/Mike Carp, DH
7. Franklin Gutierrez, CF
8. Miguel Olivo*/Adam Moore, C
9. Jack Wilson, SS

1. Felix Hernandez
2. Rich Harden*
3. Brandon Morrow
4. Ryan Roland-Smith
5. Ryan Feierabend/Doug Fister/Carlos Silva**



* Signed via FA.
** Is it sad that I am hoping he gets hurt again?

Back with more later as the Winter Meeting continue!
