“One’s Man Opinion” by Gordon Curvey

My hometown team the Seattle Mariners have had a very good week in picking up pitcher Cliff Lee, switch hitter Milton Bradley and cat quick Chone Figgins. Man what a week!!

Lee is one of baseball’s best pitchers. He will join young star Felix Fernandez to give the Mariner a potent one-two punch.

Figgins will add some much needed speed to the lineup. It will be interesting to see if he will bat lead off or will it be Ichiro who has batted in the top position for the last few years.

Bradley is known to be a so called “hot head” but do not get it twisted folks. The dude can play. Hopefully with the legendary Ken Griffey Jr. on the team he will “help” keep Bradley “under control” sort of speak.

The Mariners could still use a big bat to hit 30 homers and 100 RBI’s. Is he out there? We will see but one thing is for sure the Seattle Mariners are making big moves.

Also with the signing of Bradley and Figgins, it might help bring some more African American fans to Safeco Field to watch games and also might get young inner city kids to be interested in playing baseball again.

Because it seems after little league young inner city kids turn to basketball and football. I have saw that Figgins does a lot of community work so hopefully he will do that here in Seattle along with Grif Jr and Bradley etc.

We will be doing more stories on “urban sports” here on “Sports Inner City Online” in the coming days. We have been doing a lot of work on our music site but we want to “blow up” our sports site so come on back for more interesting information right here on “Sports Inner City Online”

Plus listen to “Sports Inner City Radio” podcasts. NEW programs coming on this weekend!!
