A Mariner fan, who recently visited from Seattle, says:
I happened to see Mitchell pitch on TV last week in Syracuse and thinking, "wow,
the Yankees bullpen must be really hurting to have this guy out there late in a
close game." Even if neither pitcher amounts to anything, I am glad the Mariners
made this deal, as he clearly had no place in their future, if indeed they have
a future.
As much of a fan of his as I am, he perpetually confounded me, even in the
good times. The last two years have been painful at times. He is ALWAYS who he
is, as I wrote in his rookie year, the International Man of Mystery.
Before this season started, I thought a perfect exit would be a trade
deadline deal, but he seemed disinterested in that at first. More recently I was
afraid they would resign him, clearly a blunder. This is a blessing for him and
the Mariners. I hope going to a pennant race rejuvenates him, but the NY media
will be sorely disappointed if they expect to get anything out of him while he's
there.
