This is more a solicitation of opinions than an article.
When all is said and done and the season is over, which way do you think the Seattle Mariners will have gone from here?
Will they continue as a sub-.500 underachiever, presumably leading to the firing of Jack Zduriencik and Lloyd McClendon, probably before season's end ?
Or will they improve somewhat, perhaps get to .500 or a little above but make no substantial move into the playoff picture?
Or will they, realize their potential, reel off some serious winning runs, and vault into the playoff picture?
Whatever scenario you envision, it would be fun to have you flesh things out a bit. What will be their trade deadline behavior? Their September mode? Etc.
