Dipoto gonna Dipot. The guy sure seems to like trading. Maybe he's as bored as his fans are?

@RaysBaseball: #Rays have acquired OF Mallex Smith, minor league SS Carlos Vargas & minor league LHP Ryan Yarbrough from SEA in exchange for LHP Drew Smyly

Well I guess there was a point to all of DiPoto's nervous activity after all. Smyly is a nice get, definite upgrade over Karns for the #3 spot. I'll have to look into the prospects, although I don't think it's a good idea to get too attached to them in this regime.

Is the consensus on Smyly that he's a good K/BB dude, but tends to give a few too many dingers? Pitching in Safeco should help with that.

Think that's about right. Somebody mentioned that he's sort of Jason Vargas with a higher SO %. The Safe is less of a flyball pitcher park than it used to be, but presumably he'll benefit from no longer pitching in the AL East. Consistent 2-ish WAR pitcher.

And I guess I misspoke, he currently slots in as the #4 starter. If Felix can get back on his horse a bit (dubious?) the M's may have a nice rotation on their hands.

Good morning!
Today, February 14th, the weather is warming, irises are poking up from the ground, and the Seattle Mariners pitchers and catchers are reporting to spring training.

It's a good day, folks.
