Ex mariners in the playoffs

[Danny]

Last night as the announcers for the world series exhibited their man crush on Adrian Beltre I couldn't hold in my frustration any longer, why is it that ex Mariners often excell and lead their teams to the playoff when they were with Seattle they couldn't seem to play the game at all?

[The Q]

Got some other examples? Off the top of my head I think of A-Rod, Randy Johnson, Beltre,

Well Doug Fister was the most recent face in the crowd as an ex-Mariner because he was traded mid season. However here is the list:

Cliff Lee
J.J. Putz
Adrian Beltre
Yuniesky Betancourt
Willie Bloomquist
Raul Ibanez
Casey Kotchman
A-Rod
Freddy Garcia
Arthur Rhodes
Wilson Valdez
Ramon Santiago
Rafael Soriano
Yorvit Torrealba
Endy Chavez

Also Josh Wilson played for the Brewers but didn't make the cut into the playoffs. That is 16 players overall.

Good post Danny, I was thinking the same thing. Have for years really. Looks like you've done the math for us thanx.

Oops I forgot Mark Lowe. Remembered after the game last night when he gave up that last home run against the cardinals. Maybe that wasn't a good example of how they are getting better after leaving the mariners

Yeah I hate that, too. Don't forget Omar Vizquel! I see so many Mariners go onto east coast teams and kill it. I always wondered what about Seattle tanks players?

must be the coffee lol. And on the same note; how is it when we sign a solid veteran with multiple great seasons,,they come to
seattle and totally fall asleep, (chone figgins ,Jack Cust , ) and that's just this year.
