I'm fine with this. The M's org has zero clue how to cultivate talent, and the big win streak that got us into possible contention for the 3rd wilcard spot doesn't change that....and don't talk to me about JRod who is an anomaly and a fucking freak of nature.

 

[ulmax]

It was castillo or montas...

Castillo will..do but...oiuuuuuuch..

I liked aroyo....

 

[ulmax]

But I now have to go with...
Cole young..for a ss..what the...
If he can start..at..high A..i don't think so...

Know I need to trade for a ss..

 

[ulmax]

Justin levay
a 2b..no prob.

I want to..make..it hurt
...for east..caost teams..know..
An eye....for the sky..

Well...whenever they ask for a trade..from.seattle....double it...sky high.

 

[wazzu31]

It’s actually great because they have Hancock, Kelenic, Lewis, Ford and Evan White still to trade

 

[ulmax]

Cole carrigg...sandiego...ss

Maui ahuna....formerly of kansas..but

transfered....i think..tennessee...ss

Mitch Jeb michigan..state..ss

Jacob gonzales.....ole miss..ss/2b

 

[ulmax]

I'll go with ford..and white...only maybe..

 

[ulmax]

By anyone's standards...they only need..

2b.../..CF..would be nice
Catcher..
And maybe..a LHP...which is not likely know...at..the skubal....lvl..

And a ss..at..A plus...they can take care
of modesto...one way or an other...

 

[ulmax]

I don't want leave the cupboard bare...
Kelenic
..just jumped in price
..cuz I don't need as much now..
As well as hancock..

.

It’s actually great because they have Hancock, Kelenic, Lewis, Ford and Evan White still to trade

I don’t think we should give up on Kelenic just yet.. He’s young and could come around

 

[ulmax]

Agreed...prob will come around
..if they did not think so...he would have been traded..already....or soon..

But I think De loach..is more..expendable

Maybe labrada can play ss

 

[Podunkparte]

I don’t think we should give up on Kelenic just yet.. He’s young and could come around

And we'd be selling super low on him. Not happening unless we out run our coverage considerably. Especially when the bodies in front of him are Kyle Lewis and Mitch Haniger, who cannot stay healthy.

 

[ulmax]

What most people.dont know..

Adam frazier....1.2..
I in def....war...fan hraphs...

Means he is a good...2b
.i think he needed to get used to the american...league.

The whole thing is.
.the pitching...is diferent...and the umping as well...
As far as ..calling balls and strikes
And the zone...

So it takes getting used to..

 

[The Q]

I love seeing a team like the M’s go for it

Tough rotation to deal with now come October

 

[ulmax]

Wilmer Flores is 10th in offence at 2b
ketel Marte is 12..

But if f razier
..keeps coming.
.he will do..

Need a guy for toro though....rental..is ok

Jrod was cultivated at birth, not by our system.

He came precooked.

If the season ended today, the M's would have to travel to Toronto for the WC series and Robbie isn't vaccinated. Adding Castillo saved them from a disaster if that's the match up.

The Jay's have a huge advantage come post season because of Canada's covid rules.

Particularly in the WC round where all 3 are in the higher seeded city. No travel between games.

announced a deal sending two-time All-Star Luis Castillo to Seattle. In exchange, the Reds bring back four prospects — highly-regarded infielders Noelvi Marte and Edwin Arroyo and right-handers Levi Stoudt and Andrew Moore.

stoubt ..i think..was get traded...any way...the rest are ss...with moore a utility/ss

so that hurts in a certain way...cuz moore was mariners best utility..atcertain spots..

both marte and edwin at the same time hurts...and they sent nothing in re-turn...to cover SS..at highA

major league...

it is good to get castillo...and i would have loved...the trade...but too maney SS...involved..

a bridge too far....
