I remember 2007-09, when I really first became attracted to MiLB, and all of the special players moving up in the Giants' system. It was a very fun time, even when the big league club was struggling. I'm very interested to see how Seattle puts things together in the next couple years, as many of their big pieces are getting close to a call-up. They may have even found their Posey-type leader in Zunino, who I believe will be a VERY solid player for them. Fun to watch teams build it from the ground up like Sabean and co. did.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-19983963534191376942012-12-21T23:21:23.466-08:002012-12-21T23:21:23.466-08:00This might come back to haunt the Halos like the N...This might come back to haunt the Halos like the Napolei trade in 2010 to the Rangers. I understand the trade better from the Halos perspective though. Varges has been a workhorse for the Mariners averaging 200 IP the past 3 seasons, which is valuable for a team like the Halos in the win now mode. I don't understand why a rebuilding team like the Mariners would trade for Morales who is a FA in 2014? Like you said if those young stud pitchers like Walker, Paxton and Hultzen turn out to be special then the M's could be a surprise team in 2013. I think if the Halos don't make the playoffs in 2013, Scossia is a goner..<br /><br />LG Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389427040394111033.post-66792137310135606652012-12-21T13:24:03.918-08:002012-12-21T13:24:03.918-08:00It was a 4 team division: Angels, Rangers, A'...It was a 4 team division: Angels, Rangers, A's, M's.
