Not saying I support the move. Just thought it was interesting.
Mariners traded for Shortstop Brenden Ryan from St.Louis. great defender, not great with the bat but possibly better than what's already there.
I don't know if Branyan would accept a role as a back up... Especially with the Cust signing. I think we'll see Mike Carp on the team. Ackley won fall league MVP which means pretty much nothing for his chances to make the team. If he doesn't look ready in ST he won't start the year on the team.
Branyan is a free agent and Smoak is a switch hitter so even if we did have Branyan it wouldn't make any sense to platoon them.
Also Ackley might not make the team out of ST. They're looking for another guy to play 2nd to challenge him for the job.
So far the Mariners have traded away Jose Lopez to the Rockies for a pitching prospect, non-tendered Ryan Rowlad-Smith, re-signed Erik Bedard, and today they signed Jack Cust.
this guy might be the guy that has the seats right next to mine. Seriously, the guy that sits next to me every week blames Matt for everything. Sacks are always his fault for not getting rid of the ball, INTs are ALWAYS his fault, Ben Obomanu getting hurt last week was his fault... Dude drives...
