Why is it that allot of Mariner fans think that Chris Snelling will become a 30 homer guy? What has he shown at the Major league level? Besides getting hurt? You want to replace Ibanez?? He is the 3rd most effective hitter on the team!
Pitching is not the problem! It is lack of "clutch" hitting and lack of leadership in the club house.
I would like to see them get a power hitting outfielder and one or two guys step up and tak eon the leadership role. These guys are playing like they are waiting for next year already!
I am continually amazed at how this club still draws crowds of over 20-30K! Though attendancce is down this year yet again as it was last year, they are still getting more fans than the utterly disinterested ball they play deserves! Must be the ballpark cause it ain't the team.

Gee, youd think I was clear enough that I was talking about next year and not this year. Look at this year, is there ANY guy on the team who's overperforming? And with Ichiro and Beltre underperforming to the extent they are, is it any suprise there's no offense this year?
I said I was ok with Ibanez as a DH, thanks for reading.
Anyone who says the Ms pitching is not a problem is ignorant.
Gee, wouldn't everyone want to get a power hitting OF and good leaders. Why don't we get an ace starter or two while we're at it?
If you hate them so much, that's fine, you don't have to go. Other people still like watching baseball, still like supporting the home team, even if its a futile effort, and still find some reasons to go see the Ms.
