He has come home, where he belongs. The Ancient Mariner returns to lead his first team to glory, forever and ever. Amen!

Sorry I'm late
The day the Mariners finally dumped Rodney was great. I don't think I would dislike him so much if he was just bad, but he's so impossibly erratic. Will it be a 1,2,3 inning or will he give up 4 runs after walking three people, hitting two and 3-4 wild pitches?

this is the peak of Late Period Fernando Rodney, shooting the arrow in the middle of the seventh inning after being pulled for another pitcher.

^^^ Also that time he did that to the Angels at the end of the 8th (4 out save) and then promptly gave up the win in the 9th.

So upton's not just not on the roster, he's been released by the Jays

Also Osuna on 10-day DL

I think I actually yelled something like "Don't shoot your stupid loving gimmick arrow unless it's a save" at that game when that happened.

That's a nice set of 11 dynasty points there, it would be a shame if 3 rings were to happen with it

Rodney also got two saves against the Cubs last season on the same day, what a day, to be double-arrowed by San Diego's Fernando Rodney.

I know there are reasons it's not the best stat but his ERA+ column is fun to look at on BR.

He's got a 641 for a full year! And a 1306 (!) for a partial year, until he was traded and then there's a 67 for the rest of it.

Goins could be the greatest glove of all-time, but I don't think that'd be enough to justify his sub-.200 average in the line-up.

I think the bigger issue isn't goins as the backup or 2nd backup IF, its carrera starting LF as a guy who historically isnt even an AAAA type LF. Also can't play CF or even LF/RF well.

I remember the Rays trotting out Carlos Pena's .200 bat for 4 years because it was a .200/.350/.400 bat.

I remember he walked a-lot but surely his slugging percentage was higher then 400?

It started that way...

2008: .247/.377/.494
2009: .227/.356/.537

Even in the worst of those years he was worth more than 2 WAR. A lot of teams do worse out of 1B.
