...I think we would all have to admit, after a Tanaka signing, that this would be the most successful offseason the Mariners had since 2000/2001. A good manager should be able to wrangle the LoMo/Hart/Smoak/Saunders/Guti/Ackley pile-up and maybe even find PT for Franklin. And it would take a complete moron to screw up THAT rotation. Those of you who are worried about the pen messing up the pitching...I see the concern...but I am coming around on our pen being better than we think. With Pryor, a better-used Furbush, an emerging Farquhar...we have the back-end stuff handled...we just need some more depth.
