Sean William Green (born April 20,1979) is an American former professional baseball pitcher.
Green grew up in east Louisville,Kentucky,in the Fincastle community.
Following his senior season at Louisville Male High School,Sean was selected by Toronto Blue Jays in 32nd round (959th overall) of the 1997 Major League Baseball Draft,but elected to attend the University of Louisville instead. He played baseball for the Louisville Cardinals from 1998 to 2000. He was drafted in the 12th round of the 2000 Major League Baseball Draft by the Colorado Rockies after his junior season at Louisville.
After spending his first professional season with the Portland Rockies of the Northwest League,the right-hander moved up the organizational ladder,pitching for the Asheville Tourists in the South Atlantic League in 2001,Salem in the Carolina League in 2002,and California League's Visalia Oaks before jumping to the Double-A Tulsa Drillers in 2004 where he was 4–3 with a 3.03 ERA.
In an off-season trade,the Seattle Mariners acquired Green from the Rockies for pitcher Aaron Taylor,and Green flourished in the Mariners farm system,logging a Texas League-high 14 saves and posting a 2.96 ERA for the San Antonio Missions in 2005 before being promoted to the Triple-A Tacoma Rainiers.
He completed the 2005 season in Tacoma and pitched in seven spring training games with the big league squad in Arizona before opening 2006 back in Tacoma. His spring training performance and 4–0 record and 1.38 ERA as the Rainiers' closer caught the eye of Mariners manager Mike Hargrove.
Green made it to the big leagues when the Seattle Mariners called him up on April 29,2006,to replace reliever Julio Mateo. When Mateo was activated on May 20,it was thought that Green would return to Triple-A Tacoma,but the Mariners opted to instead send down pitcher Emiliano Fruto. He made his first Major League appearance on May 2 against the Minnesota Twins.
Green was a solid contributor out of the bullpen in 2007,logging 68 innings out of the bullpen with a 3.84 ERA in 64 games for the Mariners.
In 2008,Green dominated before the All-Star break,with a 2.72 ERA,but after the All-Star break,Green had an 8.65 ERA. He would finish the season with a 4.67 ERA in a career high 79 innings.
On December 10,2008,Green was sent to the New York Mets as a part of a 12-player,3-team trade that sent reliever J.J. Putz to New York. [1]
Despite hype for Green,he struggled in his first year and was eventually demoted to the Mets minor league,AAA affiliate. He would eventually make it back and provided the Mets with 79 relief appearances despite having an ERA of 4.52.
In early April 2010,Green was given the final bullpen spot but he was put on the DL with a broken rib. It was reported that Green has recovered from the injury but was still rehabilitating in the minors. Green returned to the Mets on September 6,2010,as part of the Mets September callups. On December 3,2010,the Mets non-tendered Green,making him a free agent.
On December 22,2010,Green signed a non-guaranteed one-year contract worth $875,000 with the Milwaukee Brewers. [2] He was designated for assignment on May 17,2011. [3] He became a free agent following the season on November 2.
On January 10,2012,Green signed a minor league contract with the Texas Rangers. He also received an invitation to spring training. Green allowed 21 runs in 27.1 innings at the AAA level for the Rangers,he was subsequently released on June 3.
On July 3,2012,Green signed with the Somerset Patriots of the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball. He retired on August 25. In 12 games (10 starts) he tossed 65 innings going 4-6 with a 4.15 ERA with 52 strikeouts also throwing 3 complete games and one shutout.

The 2008 Seattle Mariners season was the 32nd Major League Baseball season in the team's history. Coming off the heels of the previous 2007 season,in which the Mariners finished with their first winning record since 2003,the team was widely expected to once again compete for the American League West championship. The team was bolstered by some major roster additions during the previous offseason,most notably starting pitchers Érik Bédard and Carlos Silva. However,by the end of May,it became apparent that the team had gone back to its losing ways of the 2004–06 seasons. Despite their losing ways,they won their first and last game of the season. Their longest winning-streak of the season is 4 games after a sweep of the Cleveland Indians at the end of August and a 12-6 win against the Texas Rangers on the first day of September. However,standing at 57–87,their longest losing-streak of the season is 12 games,11 on the road,1 at home,after being swept by the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim,Kansas City Royals,Oakland Athletics,and suffering a loss at the last homestand opener against the Angels. On September 23,the Mariners became the first club to spend $100 million in payroll and lose 100 games. The team finished the season with a 61–101 (.377) record,last in the West for the 4th time in 5 years,and second worst in the majors.
The 2009 Seattle Mariners season was the 33rd season in franchise history. They improved upon a disappointing 2008 season,where they finished last in the American League West with a 61–101 record. They finished 3rd in the AL West with an 85–77 record,a 24 win improvement. The 2009 Mariners became the 13th team in MLB history to have a winning record following a 100+ loss season. On September 13,2009,Ichiro Suzuki got his 200th hit of the season. In the process,he set a new MLB record by getting at least 200 hits for nine consecutive seasons,passing the mark held by Wee Willie Keeler.
