The more I read about this deal, the more skeptical I become. The guy had a great 2007, but beyond that, not much in terms of a proven track record. Tommy John surgery in 2002? Also not a good sign for longevity, which is exactly what Baltimore is getting in Adam Jones. If he goes 17-2 and gets us to the World Series, great, awesome. But we'll need bigger offensive production out of tools like Richie Sexson to get there....and a BIG tool that guy is hitting .205. Just another intelligent move by Mr. Bavasi. Expect another frustrating year from Mariner land....expect Bavasi, Chuckie Armstrong, and Howard Lincoln GONE in 2009 or else....
