Really, what is it that makes you so confident that Seattle always blows and Boston is always amazing? In fact, Seattle has the second best young pitcher (Lariano is better
) to go along with a lineup that includes Ichiro, Beltre, Sexson, and a bunch of young guys. Eddie Guardado is as good if not better then Timlin and Foulke. Based on the natural progression the Mariners will be right back on top within a couple years, and thats a lot cooler then buying players and still not dominating.
