But Hernandez was brilliant and showed some of the same dominance as Greinke for long stretches. If Zack doesn't get the Cy, I hope it's Felix. As a Royals’ fan I’m pulling for Greinke in this one.

Once the trade deadline passed the GM reported that the team was actually very close in making that deal for Adrian Gonzalez. In an interview with the local Seattle ESPN radio station he said that a deal was nearly made but fell through. I agree, a trade would have been ideal for this rebuilding team. Jack Zduriencik has yet to make a move that has dissapointed the fans or the win total, so he has my trust. The Mariners are going to be in serious need of starting pitchers next season. We can still hope for a deal come winter meetings but you are right in saying it will surely be for less than could have been. Thanks for the comment Eric That is very true.

Picking any 5 from the list of Clay Buchholz, Daniel Bard, Justin Masterson, Nick Hagadone, Michael Bowden, Felix Doubrant, Josh Reddick, and Yamaico Navarro could have provided the team with at least 2/5 of a rotation, probably more, and a closer for the future. Then to reject the counter which was a three-way deal with Adrian Gonzalez, Buchholtz, and other prospects, especially with Gonzalez under contract for 2 (???) more years is ridiculous. I know you don't want to appear as if you are rebuilding to your fans but I cannot see an asset like Felix Martinez getting you much more than was offered, especially from the Sox. As soon as the trade deadline passed his trade value went down because that is one less pennant chase he can help a possible suitor.
