MLB’s lockout begs the question: what’s the point, John Stanton?​

The Mariners owner is one of baseball’s most powerful men. Yet in its time of crisis, he is absent, silent, and seemingly content with an ill-timed catastrophe.

good .....job john...stay out of ...the...carp....

yeah...golf sounds good...................

2 good short stops from texas................prospects live.......

154	Anthony Silva​ SS Clark San Antonio, TX	Silva is a pure shortstop with quiet, fluid actions on the dirt and an absolute cannon across the diamond. He's a good hitter with strong bat-to-ball skills who works up the middle of the field. He'll continue growing into his pro body and will begin hitting the ball harder in due time. As for now, he's a good defensive prospect with a strong ability to hit.
155	Trey Faltine​ SS Texas Richmond, TX	Big time draft prospect in 2019 but elected to go to Texas. Extremely tooled up on the dirt, one of the better defenders in college baseball. Faltine is a promising hitter with some sneaky juice, but he struggles to get into it in-games at times. The throwing arm is comfortably above average at worst. Scouts want to see more impact from the bat because the defensive floor is substantial.

Chazz Martinez​ LHP Oklahoma San Pedro, CA

After stops at UC Santa Barbara and Orange County College, Martinez takes the bump for the Sooners in 2022 and the stuff... it is huge. Martinez, from the left side mind you, has been up to 99, but sits in the mid-90s. Martinez mixes in a curveball, slider and a changeup to keep hitters off balance. A 12th round pick by the Pirates in 2021, Martinez went unsigned and now figures to be one of the more prominent arms from the Big 12 in the 2022 draft.

207

Jonathan French​ C Clemson Lilburn, GA

Big, strong, burly catcher with a great body to stick behind the plate. French has an all-fields approach and above average raw power that hasn't tapped into in-game.

208

Dominic Hellman​ SS Henry M. Jackson Mill Creek, WA

Hellman comes packed with a unicorn frame – it's an extremely physical, 6-foot-6, 230-pound imposing Aaron-Judge-like body with the big bat to fit the label. His batting practice display put on at the Perfect Game National Showcase may go down as the most impressive session in the history of the event. It's comfortably 80-grade elite raw power. There's some bat-to-ball skills here too. He shows good ability to get to balls below the strike zone and create lift. More importantly, however, Hellman's athletic traits exceed what's to be expected in the build. Given the ultra-tall frame, Hellman's physical maturity and physical movements will be something to watch. Right now, however, he's an above average, maybe even a plus runner with the hands to handle shortstop for his travel ball team. Ultimately, Hellman could end up in a number of different positions at the next level. Corner infield, corner outfield, it could go a number of ways. But at the end of the day, the bat will dictate the prospect value, and the pure power is potentially the best in the entire class.

210

Jacob Melton​ OF Oregon State Medford, OR

Melton has a big lefty bat with plus raw power and a potential average hit tool. He's shown some swing and miss in his time in Corvallis, though the power really stands out. He's a fringe-average athlete with a fringy arm in a corner outfield profile. He may be forced to first base at the next level, but the bat will be the carrying tool as he works his way up the pro ladder. Swing is already optimized for loft and game power.

Bradley Hodges​ LHP St. Johns Country Day Fleming Island, FL

Put simply, Hodges has one of the better prep changeups in this year's class. There's plenty of arm speed and conviction in the pitch and it just hit a brick wall over the plate. The cambio gets to it's apex and parachutes and fades away from righty bats. Solid feel. Fastball has been up to 93. Also throws a high spin breaking ball that can get a little loopy when not finished. Serious upside here in an athletic, strong frame.

Austin Knight​ 3B Charlotte Jacksonville, FL

Transfer from Tennessee, Knight has a solid hit tool and a frame that suggest there's more power to come. There's some whiff tendencies in Knight's game, but he hits the ball hard and can play a reasonable infield defense.

No, I don't want a 41/42 year old Nelson Cruz returning to the Mariners.

But, speaking of Cruz

Between the 100-game shutdown in 2020 and the lockout slowing peeling away games this yearthis year, Nelson Cruz' chance at reaching 500 career home runs seems all but shot. He finally showed signs of slowing down last year. He'll play as a 41/42-year-old this year. Does he have the needed 51 more homeruns left in him? I highly doubt it. He probably missed out on about 25 home runs in 2020 which would have left him 26 homeruns shy going into this season. That seems much more doable for Cruz.

Sadly, the players need to stand firm. No more language that could be “interrupted” It needs to be black and white which is what the owners don’t want.
