Yes, the same player that the Mariners didn’t offer more than a one year deal to last fall is now back in the fold. What’s up in Seattle? The Mariners had Branyan, let him go to the Tribe in the offseason and have now got him back when they’re 14 games out? Either $5 million doesn’t buy a whole lot at first base or the Mariners have a few more problems than I have the time to discuss right now.

My thoughts on this deal are very simple and straightforward. Find your way to the accept button and click it right smartly. The key for me is in the hitting department. Rolen has certainly been huge, but are his numbers sustainable over the second half? I think we’ll see some regression while at the same time Longoria will pick up the pace. Jimenez has been incredible so far, but if you take a quick look at Weaver’s numbers they are certainly nothing to sneeze at and I believe the odds are good that moving forward there will be very little to pick and choose between the two.

As inter-league play rumbles on throughout the land, is there anything truly more inspiring than getting the opportunity to watch the Astros facing off against the Yankees? We could also spin the dial and watch the Blue Jays playing against their arch rival and nemesis the Colorado Rockies. It simply doesn’t get much better than that, does it?

Right now you have a situation where I believe you’d have some serious problems getting value back for Greinke. He is struggling right now (4.06 ERA, with 86 hits allowed in 80 IP). Obviously, this is miles from the standards he set for himself last season. His 1-8 record isn’t going to net you very good returns at this stage of the game.
