MARINERS INTERESTED IN GUARDADO?!?
West Coast!
Something could be imminent for Guardado, who told the Saint Paul Pioneer Press that the Mariners, Chicago Cubs and Boston Red Sox are pursuing him to be their closer.
"Seattle is more serious," Guardado said from his California home. "It's a West Coast team, and, you know, I live on the West Coast. It's pretty exciting for me."
Wow. This is very interesting, kids. And it is true, he's from the West Coast. He's from the Stockton area if I remember correctly.
Could this possibly mean that the M's may allow Kazuhiro Sasaki to go back to Japan? Hoo boy, if the M's could get rid of Kazu's 2004 8 million dollar albatross of a contract, then by all means, do it. Especially if the M's replace him with a stud closer like Guardado.
Guardado is durable. He's saved 86 games for the Twins the past two seasons. And what a coincidence, the Twins were in the playoffs the past two seasons. Lefties were .175 against Guardado in 2003, righties .219.
He's a flyball pitcher, and that works out very well in Safeco Field.
Oh my goodness, if the M's can land both Tejada and Guardado, and get rid of Sasaki's contract, then we really have something here.
FIRE UP THE MIGGY HOT STOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
