Transaction Oracle — A Timely Look at Transactions as They Happen Thursday, July 10, 2008Mariners - Released SexsonSeattle Mariners - Released 1B Richie Sexson.It was one thing to get rid of Richie Sexson last year when you can find someone willing to pay more than $0 of his salary and giving up a prospect younger than, say, John Candelaria, but when your team is so incompetent that you can't find designated hitters that barely hit better than the pitchers they replace (Mariners DHs: .525 OPS, Mariners Ps: .478 OPS), perhaps it would be prudent not to release the terrible hitter that you have to pay anyway. If you've put together a team in which Willie Bloomquist is one of the best available 1B starters, it's time to take a bath with a toaster. Of course, we know the real reason Sexson played poorly - he never got to have the magic of Jose Vidro protecting him... 2008 ZiPS Projection - Richie Sexson ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Period AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI BB SO SB BA OBP SLG ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Actual 2008 252 27 55 8 0 11 30 37 76 1 .218 .315 .381 Rest of 2008 191 24 44 9 0 9 26 25 50 1 .230 .323 .419 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 2008 Total 443 51 99 17 0 20 56 62 126 2 .223 .320 .397 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 2009? 433 54 99 23 0 21 69 51 126 0 .229 .315 .427 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Top Comps: Cecil Fielder, Deron Johnson, Gorman Thomas, Dave Kingman |

Certainly a better experiment than Julian Tavarez
Wonder if he can play any LF.
I just check B-Ref, and he hasn't been there since 2000. Not a good idea.
That's not an endorsement for Richie.
Then again, Sexson did have some awkward moments with Moorad when he departed from AZ
And Sexson doesn't have Tony's "Anybody, Anytime" mantra
