1.

3. Jamie Moyer
4. Bobby Madritsch

In that one spot, a top flight free agent should be acquired, hey why not Matt Clement or Matt Morris who in my mind can easily anchor a pitching staff. I think they both have great arms.

Rafael Soriano will be healthy and as effective as ever. The same can be said for Eddie Guardado.

Top RP: Shigatoshi Hasegawa
Set-up man: Rafael Soriano
Closer: Eddie Guardado

Line-up:
C - Miguel Olivo
1b - Raul Ibanez
2b - Bret Boone

lf - Jeremy Reed
cf - Randy Winn
rf - Ichiro Suzuki

Bench:
Scott Spiezio 1b/3b/of
Jolbert Cabrera UT
Bucky Jacobsen DH/1b

There is definitly some talent in the line-up and pitching staff. I don't know the budget, but I do know that this Mariners team although rebuilding, is not "done," and can be a real player next year in the AL West.

Troy Glaus, Omar Vizquel, Craig Counsell, Junior Spivey are some notables for that infield, or lack there of. There are also reports that Alfonso Soriano is available, as is Paul Konerko and Carlos Lee of the White Sox.

Again, I have no idea what to do with this team, because I don't know the budget, I don't know the owner, and I am not working for the Seattle Mariners.

All I can say about what they should do, is if they are truly committed to winning, they should go out, get some new faces, fill some holes and build around there young talent i.e. Olivo, Reed, Pineiro, Meche, etc.
