September 5 against the Yankees.  John Hickey has the scoop.

Below is the post about top prospect Carlos Triunfel being promoted to AA.  I guess there was some false reports out there, possibly stemming from Triunfel’s lineup absence.  Turns out, Triunfel strained his groin a bit and was getting the day off.  He could still be promoted, a possibility under consideration by the organization, but […]

Baseball America, one of the most cited names in regards to ranking baseball prospects, has Seattle Mariners prospect Jharmidy DeJesus on their latest “Prospect Hot Sheet” at number 8, surrounded by some of baseball’s brightest prospects, including David Price, Zach McAllister, Elvis Andrus, Brandon Wood, Matt Weiters and others.  Here’s what they had to say about […]

It’s nice to see this organization starting to make some moves to put them on the right track, or at least pointing themselves towards the right track. 
One of the team’s weaknesses was the shortage of worthwhile starters in the upper levels.  In just a few short weeks the organization has added three guys to go […]

Brandon Morrow will finally be on his way to justify Seattle taking him with their first pick a couple years back.  His true value is as a starter, and if he fails he can always be sent back to the ‘pen.  This is the right move to make now that Seattle isn’t competing for anything […]

J.J. Putz was activated from the DL today.  He will pitch in middle relief until he shows that he has what it takes to close again.
To make room for Putz, Seattle demoted Ryan Rowland-Smith to AAA Tacoma.  The reason that he was sent down was so that Seattle can properly convert him into a starter […]

According to Ryan Divish of the News Tribune, the Mariners are set to call up first baseman Bryan LaHair from AAA Tacoma. 
LaHair was thought to be called up when Richie Sexson was released, but he was dealing with turf toe and wasn’t able to play.
No news yet on the corresponding roster move, but if you […]

Felix Hernandez has been placed on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to his collision with Carlos Beltran in New York. He will be available on July 9th at the earliest.
This move wasn’t made because Felix’s injury turned out worse than expected, but mainly because the team is in desperate need of some arms. Cesar […]

I haven’t spent much time in front of the computer or in front of the TV lately.  I have lots of family in town and I’m days away from embarking on a series of trips (some work, mostly vacation) that’ll have me away from Washington for 41 days consecutively, so sorry for the lack of updates!  […]

I just mentioned that Brad Wilkerson was on his way out, and now John Hickey of the Seattle P-I is reporting that Jeff Clement and Wladimir Balentien will indeed be joining the Seattle Mariners in Cleveland for Wednesday’s ballgame.  As I type Geoff Baker updates his blog that both Wilkerson and Greg Norton have been designated for […]

In order for Seattle to get Erik Bedard from the 15-day DL to the active roster someone had to lose their job.  Roy Corcoran was the loser in this one, though not deservedly.  In his eight games with Seattle he surrendered just two runs which resulted in a 1.69 ERA over 10.2 innings.
But who else do […]

(Note: If this is your first time to the new site, please check out “New Site Orientation/Feedback” page.)
Obviously I’m a little late on this, especially considering J.J. Putz just came in and blew away the Orioles for hist second save of the year, but I was working on the new site all evening.  Anyway, Putz was reinstated from […]
