BLOGOSPHERE GAUGE
Here's the blogosphere gauge of last night's salary arbitration-related ruckus...
One Hundred Sixteen: No action since the 3rd.
JAMB: Matt thinks Shiggy was lucky last year, and therefore doesn't like the signing. He hates that Cameron has been cut loose for striking out too much. He also makes a parallel that's sure to draw a ton of emails -- Cameron v Buhner = black v white. Yes, racial. Frankly, I think Jay had a ton more power than Cameron, and I think that more than made up for his speed difference with Cameron and Buhner definitely had the better arm.
Mariner Bullpen: Rick weighs the offense and defense between 2003 and 2004, and what it may look like, whether it's better or worse, etc. He then posts something from the Bullpen newsgroup suggesting Reggie Sanders and Matt Stairs as additions. But you can forget about Stairs because (last post) he's close to signing with Kansas City.
Mariners Musings: Peter hasn't posted since Finnigan's Tejada "offer, I think" article. He'll be on it soon enough, I'm sure.
Steve's Mariners, etc.: Steve wants to find spoons, I'm guessing those are to gag himself/ourselves with.
Ahoy the SS Mariner: Paul rails the Mets for moving stud Jose Reyes to 2B and pleads for the Mariners to get Tejada or Reyes. He is also irate due to Borders getting offered arb and not Cameron.
Safest Blog: Gabriel makes the connection between the Borders arb offer and Garcia, who probably is going to get arb...it's the only way Borders getting arb remotely makes sense.
USS Mariner: David Cameron has the best quote of the night, citing his "[inability] to rationally comment" on the Borders arb offer as a reason to end his post. Jason MB feels deceived about Borders, and also is disappointed because he thought Rhodes would be available for a discount based on last year's debacle.
Dave's M's Blog: Dave's been off since the Ibanez signing.
And that, my friends, is your Mariners post-arb blogosphere update.
