Always a bridesmaid, as they say…I’m probably the last person in Seattle to know that the JJ Hardy option is off the table (get thee to Minnesota!), and that Ken Griffey Jr will soon be making his decision. I’ll admit it, the Hardy thing doesn’t make me all that sad, nor does it surprise me much that we didn’t go after him before the Twins did. Jack Wilson was much desired by the front office, it didn’t make much sense to me that they would just toss him overboard after less than half a season; not saying that Hardy is the only shortstop out there to be obtained, I just really think they want Wilson to stay, and I think Wilson wants to stay. I know his bat depresses a lot of people, but he was such a ridiculous upgrade from Yuni defensively, maybe I’m just biased there. I believe in change. Maybe change is rare and difficult in baseball, but it does and can happen.

I never thought Hardy would end up in Seattle (didnt see Jack tossing wilson aside, at a minimum they will excersize his 1 year options)
I am just stunned at how little Milwaukee got in return….Really stunned.
Well, good for the Twins then, really.
I never thought Hardy would come here either, not after we got Wilson. I’m really hoping he can stay – I feel like we sort of “rescued” he and Snell from the Pirates; they seem so much happier here…
