The MLB is the highest level a player can reach in professional baseball. More specifically, MLB refers to the organization that operates North American professional baseball's two major leagues, the National League and the American League. On an organizational level, MLB effectively operates as a single "league," and as such it constitutes one of the major professional sports leagues in North America.

Japanese baseball will have at least one American manager for the eighth consecutive year in 2010, as Marty Brown takes over as field boss of the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles after four years managing the Hiroshima Carp. Trey Hillman began the string when he became skipper of the Nippon Ham Fighters in 2003, and the trend reached its peak in 2007 when there were four U.S. managers: Brown, Hillman, Bobby Valentine with the Chiba Lotte Marines...

about having the first Partial Hall of Fame Vote of the season! Woooooooo!
Like many Mariners fans, I think Edgar Martinez was the most loyal, most dependable, and most productive of anyone to ever put on a Mariners uniform.

Who should they go after? Big free agents like Matt Holliday are probably untouchable as a big city team will offer him a huge contract the Mariners can't match.
So, the M's need to go after guys...
