Dave Cameron rationalizes the Felix Hernandez extension.
But, if the frictional costs of shipping Felix out are as high as Farnsworth’s estimates suggest that they are, then it may very well be in the Mariners best interests to overpay Felix in salary rather than try to make due with depressed revenues in the future. Paying a pitcher this much money is risky, but so is perpetually rebuilding. We can’t focus solely on the costs of one without recognizing the costs of the other.

What’s funny is that if this was another team or another writer, he’d argue the exact opposite. This is a silly signing.

I’ve been wondering that myself. Perhaps now that Ryno has returned, it is no longer cool to go AWOL from OV and we can expect MO and AC back any day.

MO has been really busy and he’s just too good for us anymore.
