How good would the Mariners be if they had been more patient?

They traded away Asdrubal Cabrera, Adam Jones, and Shin-Shoo Choo and Mike Morse and gave up on Bryan Lahair. Those are some pretty damn good players. Here's what their everyday lineup would have looked like with those players in their lineup.

RF Ichiro Suzuki
SS Asdrubal Cabrera
1B Bryan Lahair
CF Adam Jones
DH Mike Morse
LF Shin-Shoo Choo
3B Kyle Seager
C Jesus Montero
2B Dustin Ackley

That's a pretty potent lineup and with all the good young pitching they have in the minors, the Mariners would have one of the brightest futures in baseball. It's just too bad they weren't more patient with their young hitters.

I always hated the Adam Jones deal. But at the same time if we were patient. We probably would not have grabbed Montero. That trade was not so well liked until the injury happened in NY.
