All Those Scars That Bill Bavasi Left

The Mariners had enough of Bill Bavasi. When Pat Gillick left the Mariners, it meant the end of the good Mariners era, including 116 win season in 2001.

Bill Bavasi took over the Mariners GM job. And everyone knew what happened after that. More struggle than success.

Here's everything he had done for the Mariners, leaving many scars.

June 16th, 2008, Bavasi era ended

This is all Bavasi did for the Mariners. You can see many D's and F's on here. New GM Jack Zduriencik will have hard time fixing this, but I'm sure he can fix our organization. The Mariners will struggle next two to three years. But depending on how Zduriencik works, the fans will see hopes to the Mariners. This is all up to Zduriencik though. He can be just like Bavasi, or he will rebuild this organization perfectly. We never know, but let's hope for the best.
