Chone Figgins sucks
MistaNova:
When I said this a year ago, everyone said it was just pressure and that he'll be what he once was again.
Now where is he? Just another bum on the Mariners roster. It's a good thing they have Ackley and Smoak.

^ He actually had a good second half and finished the season at about .270, but obviously this season he's been beyond awful. First Adam Kennedy took his spot now we just brought Seager up from AAA. Not the worst move made by the Mariners, but most likely the worst free agent signing.

sexson hit 30HR's and 100+ RBI. Figgy is hitting .188 with like 20 RBI's. shoutout to Jeff Cirrlio & Scot Spiezio.

Welcome to baseball. Teams make absolutely horrible FA signings, even when it's obvious what will happen. Here are some of the Dodgers worst moves
GM Ned Colletti
-signed Jason Schmidt to a 3 yr. 47 million dollar deal (10 starts, ERA+ 72)
-signed Juan Pierre to a 5 year 45 million deal (OPS+ 86) (Worst part is alternative would have been Jayson Werth for cheap, instead he helped the Phillies win)
-signed Juan Urbie to a 3 year 21 million dollar deal (OPS+ 66)

But my point is that people didn't see this coming. Yeah , in retrospect we overpaid for him, but he was still coming off an all star season. He said himself that he thought he and Ichiro could be one of the best 1-2 punches in history, didn't quite happen.
