- Zduriencik's first personnel move: minor league FA. A center fielder that he draftecd in Milwaulkee. (Bleeding BLue & Teal) More on it from Larry LaRue (Mariners Insider). The consensus seems to be that he is a phenomenal defensive player. It doesn't seem like he has much of a shot at the majors, but the idea of a guy being picked up by the M's for his defense is a refreshing change.
- LaRue on Mariners free agents. Cairo, Bloomquist, and Ibanez so none figure to be back. (Mariners Insider)
- Jim Street talks to Griffey's agent. I read USSM's piece last night on him, and followed the comment thread, and I have to say I side with Dave. No matter his cost in dollars, the opportunity cost of taking at-bats away from a potential contributor to a successful Mariner team guarantees that Junior will not ever be a bargain. (Official Site)
- Junichi Tazawa, a 22 year old Japanese pitcher, has asked not to be drafted and will attempt to make the jump to the majors next year. Jon Shields reports the Mariners have a meeting scheduled. With Engle around, I am very comfortable with any international signings made by the Mariners. I'll keep an eye on this. (Bleeding Blue & Teal)
- Derek Zumsteg on Pat Gillick. This post is great. USSM is by no means a fan of Gillick, yet Derek is still able to perfectly capture Gillick's strength while highlighting his penchant for wrecking player development. (U.S.S. Mariner)
- Larry LaRue on the fate of the Mariner coaching staff (Mariners Insider)
- USSM and Lookout Landing on the Elias Rankings. Raul is Type A. Let hime walk, get the draft picks (U.S.S. Mariner, Lookout Landing)
- Jon Shields on a potential offseason plan. Basically a rip-off of what Dave Cameron has been saying, but doesn't make it any less true, and the more people pushing for it the better in my mind. (Bleeding Blue & Teal)

Dustin Shires had the Tazawa post. No biggie but I like the guys that help me out to get some acknowledgement.
