  Bottom line for this baseball fan is the Mariners need real, aggressive pro-active ownership that does more within the organization to create a winning brand so that this issue of players not wanting to come here is no longer a major issue but a minor issue. Stop jacking around worrying about other professional franchises and trying to protect your turf and spend more time and money creating a place where players LOVE to play. It is a joke that the local media doesn't get after this orgnization more - that we want to accept 10 year so consecutive losing seasons. A real shame - Morse, Morales and Bay? But everyone on 710 says we're all real excited about Spring Training - whatever - a lot of us real baseball fans are snickering. You finished 19 games out of first place...again! You haven't earned the right for a slow building process anymore - a decade - no mas. Sell the team to someone less uptight, conservative, cautious and to someone with higher expectations. If the cabinets are so bare that we are suppose to "understand" and be patient then we say - we get it, we're not idiots but you should have never gottne into such a horrible position and you can STILL BUILD YOUR MINOR LEAGUE SYSTEM AND BE MORE AGGRESSIVE IN THE FA MARKET AND via trades. It takes two to trade so we have to give Jack the benefit of the doubt but a lot of us aren't buyin' fellas - take off the kid gloves and love affair with this Front Office and start demanding higher expectations - all of us - fans and media - this is horse do-do - tired of the excuses. A Rod, Griffey, Johnson - all should have been lifetime Mariners - period. Assumign they won't let Felix walk and finally put a stake in the ground but if not, that says it all. Time to put on your big boy pants and get real power at the corners, speed up the middle (guys who actually steal 25+ bases consitently) and create a brand that guys truly want to play for - not shy away from. Get it down - spend, trade, be more aggressive and stop with the patience BS - it's been 10 years.
