My Mariner Wish List for 2009

My 10 Mariner wishes for 2009:

1. Get rid of Kenji Johjima and start Jeff Clement

2. Sign Mark Teixeira (which probably wont happen) but I'll settle for any 1st baseman that can hit better than Vidro and Cairo put together (which isn't much).

3. Move Raul Ibanez to DH and sign a LF with some pop. Unless Mike Morse or Wladamier Balentine can start taking steroids again and hit with some consistency.

4. Sign Felix Hernandez to a long term deal.

5. Move Brandon Morrow to the rotation.

6. Don't trade Erik Bedard! (I know some people may disagree with this but he is still a good pitcher with more value than a couple prospects).

7. For Jarrod Washburn to keep pitching like he has been this past month.

8. For Carlos Silva's sinker to sink just a bit more.

9. For Bentancourt and Lopez to walk more than a quadrapoligic.

10. Lets actually get a GM and a manager who know how to do their job.

Bonus wish just for Brett and Craig:

1. Re-hire Mike Hargrove and re-sign Richie Sexson. Hargrove for manager of the year and Sexson for MVP! While we're at it, we might as well bring back Bobby Ayala!
