Well, I and all other people connected to Mariner's home site received an email today from Mariner's Chairman Howard Lincoln and General Manager Jack Zduriencik. It was mostly an admission that this season fell well below the expectations they had for the team and the positive prospects of the future that we have tied in our farm system. For all who dream of a Mariner's championship, prepare for the long haul.
Our minors system had a spectacular year, with 8 of the 9 teams getting to the playoffs, 3 getting to the championship series, and 2 being champions of their leagues. While rebuilding can be a long wait for any fan, most organizations that succeed do so from deep farm systems. Luckily, ours is deep in offense and starting pitcher, so we are on the right track. Hopefully, it doesn't take years....
Based off my not-so in depth analysis of each game, Felix was the greatest asset of this team, followed by Ichiro, Jason Vargas (he mostly earned these during the first half).
