He has an ability to pitch out of trouble that I wish would rub off on a couple of the M's starters. He scared me a bit by walking the bases loaded, but was able to get out of the inning without giving up anything. <BR/><BR/>I found this over on MLB.com.http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20070531&content_id=1997448&vkey=news_mlb&fext=.jsp&c_id=mlb<BR/>Apparently the Mariners need some offensive help (had to laugh at that one a little, after another night with hits in the double-digits). I haven't heard Texeira's name mentioned in trade rumors before, but it would be great to see him in an M's uniform someday. Trouble is, unless Texas wants Richie Sexson, there's no place for Texeira as a starter. Besides, if Richie were to be traded, Ben Broussard has earned consideration as an everyday 1st baseman. I'd rather see Mariner trade rumors involving a decent starter or two.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13324546731131437325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27835148.post-25546053640848780262007-05-31T23:33:00.000-07:002007-05-31T23:33:00.000-07:00Didn't get to catch the game tonight, but I know P...Didn't get to catch the game tonight, but I know Putz pitched.

If they can solve the Ramirez and the Weaver problems, I think that the M's have a great shot at contending. Maybe not this year, but next year definitely. <BR/><BR/>I gotta say, JJ Putz's turnaround from a couple of years ago is reason enough for hope. He gave up a lot of runs during the 2004 and 2005 seasons, really turned it around last year, and is now one of the best closers in baseball.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13324546731131437325noreply@blogger.com
