Aaron Harang blows dick. You guys will shell Bonderman tomorrow as well, dude should not be in an MLB rotation. We have a chance to split with Saunders and Felix going the next few days though.

And the M's offense will find a way to screw it up ;).
Anyone else follow the draft? I followed the entire draft on MLB.com's stream yesterday (only the 1st, 2nd and competitive lottery balance picks).
Mark Appel was picked first overall by the Houston Astros (your M's better look out Remedy, the Astros are going to take that division... in 2016).
The Yankees had themselves three first rounders yesterday and got themselves Eric Jagielo, Aaron Judge and Ian Clarkin. Jagielo and Judge are pretty promising hitters. Clarkin's going to be a question mark though since he's said to be committed to USD and he said his favorite moment was seeing the Yankees lose to the D-Backs in the World Series because he can't stand the Yankees lol.
And just today the Yankees picked Michael O'Neill (Paul O'Neill's nephew). Awesome.

Yeah, watched it too. Our first guy (12) sounds like a pure hitter, DJ Peterson I think it is. More intruiged by the guy we got at 49, Austin Wilson. Big athletic outfielder that a lot of people thought had front end talent but needs to tweak some of his swinging mechanics. Ever since Bill Bevasi's dumbass traded Adam Jones all I've wanted is an athletic power hitting outfielder and it looks like he has the potential to do so.

I was actually talking with a friend of mine who's an M's fan and according to him every hitter that Seattle selects in the draft is doomed from the moment they're picked. Not sure if you'd agree with that but judging from how Smoak, Montero and Ackley have been terrible and how Zunino seems to be struggling in the minors, I think it's time the M's got themselves some new hitting instructors. Although I hear that Seager seems to be swinging a bat so hot it left Hawk Harrelson speechless...

Well Ackley is the only one that actually came up through our farm system, Smoak came up with Texas and Montero came up with you guys. Ackleys been hitting well in AAA and I feel like he's young enough that he can still turn it around. As for Zunino, this time last year the guy was hitting in college. He started last year after the Gators season was over and absolutely tore the cover off the ball to the point where they started him in AAA this year. He's struggled a bit yeah but the guy is way too young to make any type of major assessments about. Seager has been good and Nick Franklin has looked good as well in a small sample size. The Mariner's are incredibly frustrating but it sounds like your friend is suffering from JMS (Jaded Mariner Fan Syndrome.) It makes you think irrationally but is quite common in these parts.
