Well the Winter Meetings started Monday like a sunny day in South Florida for Mariners' fans with the news of the Chone Figgins signing.
This was followed by a few blips on the radar involving Jason Bay and others. That's when things changed.
Silence...
Nothing note worthy regarding the Mariners, besides Jack Z sitting down with King Felix's agent to "just chat" aka get the ball rolling with a low ball offer.
Continued in the calamity that is Twitter....numerous "tweets" that Rich Harden is almost a sure thing. Then as the storm rolls in that bubble is popped!
Maybe a good thing for us in the NW. We have not had success with stud, injury prone pitchers...
I know this in merely just the pre-game show for what is the MLB off season. But with all the smoke blown...early I know I expected more.
At least I can say I am happy to have Josh Wilson back, yes he will probably be a Tacoma staple but he is a tough scrappy player is a serviceable UTL player.
Lets not forget the other signing by the M's at the meetings. Corey Patterson, which is a no lose situation....Jack took a flyer on this guy...at most he will get south of $1 mil so does not really hurt anything. IF he makes the club headed north.
To finish things off, the boys over at Fox Sports feel they have not said the Seattle Mariners name in a while so they must start Adrian Gonzalez rumors. OK, yes he would be an upgrade over any FA 1st basemen, or almost anywhere. But lets face it, the Padres are looking for about as much as the Jays want for the Doc. Don't hold your breath M's fans.
And on a personal note...I will apologize on my behalf for jumping the gun on a lot this week, sorry I got excited about the possibilities.
I will keep you posted on any new stuff that comes along.
