Comments on: M’s Deal Four to Mets, Indians http://www.proballnw.com/12-2008/putz-to-mets/ aka Bleeding Blue and Teal - a Seattle Mariners blog Fri, 12 Mar 2010 16:01:05 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Jon Shields http://www.proballnw.com/12-2008/putz-to-mets/comment-page-1/#comment-4059 Jon Shields Fri, 12 Dec 2008 06:14:25 +0000 http://www.bleedingblueandteal.com/?p=1221#comment-4059 Milwaukee is a possibility, especially if Erik Bedard's name comes up. We all like to think that Milwaukee would want Jarrod Washburn, but he's a number 4 starter and the Brewers would want a 1-2 starter with the probable loss of both CC and Sheets. Braves are also looking for an upper echelon starter as well, as they've already landed Javier Vazquez to hold down the middle/back of their rotation. We may have to wait until Spring Training gets a little closer for teams to want to bite on Washburn. Currently there are free agents that are better and cheaper than he is, so when the market clears out we'll have to shop him to the teams that missed out. It's too early for that right now.

Especially since they missed out on CC and Sheets declined arbitration... Or do you think we can pull something off with the Dodgers or Braves if they both miss out as well? Or my hope, somehow talk San Diego out of Peavy... Jon,

I read some stuff after I posted that that was really encouraging. Cleto does have something going for him, and a quick glance at the stats doesn't show it. The guy I originally thought might be the best, Carrera, may be the weakest prospect of the three. The prospects were much better than I anticipated. I thought that, at best, Seattle would get one legit prospect and a couple of roster fillers. RE: Cleto

Gutierrez is a great pick up as well. I'm really looking forward to what other moves GmZ has in store. Alot people are griping about this deal, but I think we got the best end of this deal. FG is going to be a great addition to the OF, Carp could wind up filling our 1B or DH hole(pending on what we do about Dunn). Chavez will be a good addition to the bench, but i'm wondering if this takes Morse out of our picture(which would make me eternally sad). Honestly, I think J.J. should be closing and K-Rod setting up, but that might upset Frankie a bit. J.J. has better stuff that K-Rod does. If we can get all of this for Putz, I can only imagine what we could get for Ichiro if we actually started entertaining offers for him. I hope so. Gutierrez is a great pick up as well.

I still love the Mariners, but this smarts like whacking your elbow into the wall. Bleah. All I have to say at the moment is, thank God we don't have to play the Mets this year. haha!

It's a strange thought. I'll miss J.J. and his antics, but I feel like this trade has rejuvenated my fandom a bit. I'm pumped for the rest of the offseason.

He's solid defensively and can have a good year offensively. Putz deserves to be on a winning team honestly, but I think overall, this trade helps our future if it goes through.
