Re: 2009-2010 Offseason Thread
I think that if Figgins signs with the Mariners, Red Sox fans can forget about trading for Felix.
This is a great deal for the Mariners, IMO. With Ichiro and Figgins at the top of the lineup, this team will run all day in spacious Safeco.
The Mariners finished 12 games behind the Angels. If they sign Figgins, I'd say they Mariners gained three games on them. Signing Bay or Holliday, or...just imagine if they turned around and got Lackey...the West could get very interesting.
