Ian Snell Designated For Assignment

[Igoe4Mariners]

Ian Snell is possibly gone from the Mariners forever. Can't say I'm surprised.

I knew this was going to happen. Don't let the door hit you on your way out Mr. Snell.

I agree, but we have an issue. And that issue is the fact that 80% of the team needs to be designated... Having Randy Johnson doesnt look so bad after all lol. Even though I would never want him to have signed with us. Geepers what a bad year.

Johnson, Kotchman, Wilson, Saunders would not be on any other major league club except ours since we are so bad. Even the Orioles wouldn't play Kotchman.

League is about the last guy at this point we need to worry about DFA. He has actually been one of our best bullpen arms compared to the rest of some of the guys down there.

Looks like the M's finally caved in to the pressure of me not watching or listening to their games! You guys can thank me later. Next I'm going on a hunger strike until someone in the DH position hits .290 or better. It's been nice knowing you guys.

Re: League- What's the deal with his borderline "unhittable" pitch. He was throwing a pitch last year that elicited the most swings and misses (proportionately) of any pitch thrown by any pitcher in the majors. Then he comes to Seattle and either decides, or is told, to just stop throwing it? That pitch was supposedly the reason we traded a starting pitcher for a bullpen pitcher and an A ball strikeout machine. Color me confused.
