Something about RW just don't look...

That's it, I'm grabbing-up a #3 Rangers jersey, post haste.

Just feels right.

It's a little irritating seeing him pose in a Rangers uniform but we just need to give the kid a break.

He had aspirations of becoming a MLB player but his heart and soul are with the Seahawks.

Let's let him have his MLB "day in the sun". It won't hurt us.

Unless you're the most high strung person on the planet, there is absolutely nothing irritating about seeing Russell Wilson in a Rangers jersey, or doing what he's doing in that regard. In fact, the added exposure is nothing but a good thing for the Seahawks.

My god people are drama queens. He's NOT GOING TO PLAY BASEBALL.

Loud enough?

I don't think there's any reason to be concerned about this training camp. However, RW has stated very clearly that he does have dreams of being a two sport athlete. Everyone here that has said he doesn't want to play baseball is just incorrect. He couldn't have been any clearer in the Charlie Rose interview, most recently. That doesn't mean he have that opportunity. I'm sure there are contractual restrictions. He also has physical and mental restrictions if he continues to dedicate himself to football as he has for the past 2 years. I'm not saying he'll ever play two sports. I'm just saying that he does want to play two sports.

He looks like Sammy Sosa in that pic

I LOL'd when I heard a caller on KJR mad about Wilson signing with the Rangers because they're a rival of the Mariners.

I have news for you M's fans, you have no rivals. Horrifically bad teams have no rivals..............a rivalry would mean you're actually competitive and beat the other team once in a while.

Sadly that's the truth

Wow! Concerned mother. Way to take the high ground guys! It always has to be about some smug put down. Thanks for the suggestion.

 

[drdiags]

Seems like it isn't just a Concerned Mom thing. At least the local reporters down at the Rangers spring training were looking for clarification.

I am fully convinced that if he wasn't the starter, and wasn't due 120+ million dollars, he would be taking this very seriously. But he can't. Almost feel bad for the guy, as someone who dreamed my whole life of playing two sports professionally. You know he wants to. It is going to take every ounce of restraint he has to play it cool and not try to get in there and get dirty.

He's picking Nolan Ryans brain about being an owner.

 

[LickMyNuts]

Looks like he's having fun to me. The pressure and scrutiny on him is heavy from fans, media and coaches. I hope he enjoys himself and comes back ready to rock and roll. As long as he's ready to play when training camp starts. And he's given no indication that he won't.

the mariners blew it so hard not thinking of this first.

The M's really missed the boat. Nothing new there.

He might not have accepted an invitation from the M's in an effort to avoid being tied to a horribly led organization.

Well, a forward thinking business decision like drafting RW would have represented a move toward a better run organization. I think you would have seen more Ms Wilson jerseys in Safeco than anything else.

I guess to the good side, having Wilson's rights in the Ms organization probably would have made it even more tempting for him to play both sports since he wouldn't even have to change addresses to do it.

 

[chimpanjesus]

As much as i would have liked russell to be playing with the M's it would have just been another distraction for a team that needs to get back to the business of winning baseball games. Also i wouldn't be down with the mariners being able to win back a large chunk of the fan base with such a transparent marketing move.

Bump.

Ranger's drafted him in the rule 5 draft. Because he wasn't active in baseball they had to pay 12,500$. Not sure if the money went to RW or to Colorado.
