In a weak free agent market for high quality pitchers, the Seattle Mariners look desperate to bolster their rotation by signing Carlos Silva to a deal worth somewhere around 10 million a year for four years. Silva can be considered mediocre to slightly above average at best and is not worth that kind of money. Last year Silva went 13-14, yes a losing record, had 89 strikeouts, and 4.19 ERA. He is not a fast ball throwing, strikeout pitcher but more of a sinker and defense guy. Once again the Mariners have wasted money on pitching. Mark Prior or Erik Bedard are much better potentials.
