Negotiations are already underway to extend our Big 3 contracts. But in the meantime, we've got some baseball to play. Here's our 1998 Mariners Team Photo:
Good news and bad news from the prognosticators. They're predicting that we'll win the AL West. But they also say we'll just get by with a record of 81-81. They also like the Yankees, predicting a 107-win season in the Bronx. Guess we'll have to wait and see.
If we're fortunate enough to reach the playoffs, I like our chances. We have an ace in Randy Johnson, and a formidable #2 in Jamie Moyer. Beyond that, though, it's duct tape and rubber bands. We have a staff full of spot starters and long relievers. We'll have to make due for now, since signing our top three players has left little room for fleshing out the remainder of the roster.
