How do you cap off such an incredibly terrible season? How about losing your “star” pitcher for possibly half of 2009?

As much as we can blame Bavasi for
trading the farm (plus Adam Jones and George Sherrill, lest we forget) for a pitcher with such a risky injury history, I don’t think anybody could have accurately predicted this injury.

Could've accurately predicted this trade wasn't likely to move the team into the postseason, however. I saw this news last week, but didn't bring it up because I was too mad about it.
I'm certain he gets non-tendered...he won't be able to do anything next season due to the nature of his injury (if ever), and this year was so lousy w/ his injuries, the team's record, a lack of stability, and a press that hounded him endlessly that I can't think he found any enjoyment out of his time in Seattle.
