I think it is arrogance. It takes a really big man to admit their failures in front of the world, instead what we see here is the arrogance of the well-to-do who have been so right about other things in life so they must be right now.

They aren't.

Larry Stone was recently asked who he wouldn't make available.

His answer "Felix, Morrow and maybe Clement" We know that Ichiro and Johjima aren't going to be dealt, so with those five locked in there is still a ton of flexibility that the team has with actual talented players.

JJ Putz, when healthy should be dealt.
Raul Ibanez
One of Lopez and Yuniesky as Jason suggests
Arthur Rhodes

I like Jason's caveats on Bedard and Beltre

But overall there are four players that could actually help the Mariners acquire real talent.

I needed a vaction, and then work changed substantially. I'm over 50 hour weeks, plus two hours a day of commuting time. A few weeks ago I launched my own blog about Seattle Sounders FC and Life in Puget Sound. I won't be by these parts often as my focus has changed. Sorry about the unannounced retirement.
