Goofs for Boof
Lookout Landing is just a tiny bit upset the Mariners turned now a deal that would send them Boof Bonser for Jarrod Washburn:
Boof Bonser is a 26 year old righty with two years of service time and a career 4.70 tRA that's 5% above the league average. His 2008 salary is $0.4325m and he won't be eligible for free agency until the winter of 2012. Evidently the Mariners came to the conclusion that, in exchange for Washburn, he wasn't enough.
To summarize, Bonser:
-is better than Washburn
-is younger than Washburn
-is cheaper than Washburn
-is under team control for longer than Washburn
And somehow we were the ones to turn down the deal.
Are we sure the Mariners actually replaced Bill Bavasi?
Update: Joe Christensen updates this deal, and it seems the Mariners didn't turn down Bonser for Washburn.

How do owners keep puting up with gms who show they have no clue consistantly?A bad gm costs you years.Yet, they keep hiring out of the same group of guys.With business decisions like these how did they get rich in the first place?
I heard they actually did not offer Bonser. MLBtraderumors has a report on it.
