Jonatan Clase brings energy to the Mariners’ future

I know zero about this dude, but from just reading it this is the type of thing that analytics IMO has killed with baseball. A steal, a drag bunt, a 1st to home use to be plays that would energize the entire team and the crowd.

Mariners opt not to protect any players in advance of 2019 Rule 5 draft

Mariners opt not to protect any players in advance of 2019 Rule 5 draft

Why would they let Newsome walk???

Why would they let Newsome walk???

Great question. I have a hard time believing he doesn't have trade value at the very least.

The Ultimate Mariners 2019 Rule-5 Draft Primer

Top 5 from article.

RHP Zack Brown
RHP Jordan Sheffield
RHP Sterling Sharp
RHP Alec Hansen
1B Chris Gittens
Note that this article has been published almost an hour and we are still debating among ourselves which names we might want to swap in and out on this list. John is torn between his switch-hitting catcher Cumberland and Gittens. Joe wonders about leaving boring-but-safe Garrett Williams (SFG) off entirely and has serious concerns about Hansen’s control issues despite his upside, although Kate counters that the White Sox haven’t wowed in the player development department in past years. About the only thing we all agree on is we desperately want Jordan and Justus Sheffield to be Mariners teammates and have the Costacos Brothers immortalize the moment in a poster. What do you think? Weigh in on your favorites (or what you think our list should like like) in the comments!

Ugh another low key head scratching decision

The one thing this system is lacking is quality arms and they just up and cut the one guy that was coming up and looking good at it...

It makes you wonder if they write these guys names on paper, tape it to the wall and throw darts at them to see who they are going to cut

Pitching doesn’t matter in analytics though. You collect 11 or 12 guys and throw a dart at the board. It’s why analytics don’t lead to championships. You need an ace, a number 2 at a minimum IMO.

I dont think there is any doubt
It will be a bull pen guy
Cinnor jones..st Louis..has a 70
Grade fastball..normal..is 50 grade
Jordan shefield would fit as well

 

[ulmax]

I dont think they are looking
For a LHP.
..in the bull pen..(burrows.atlanta)
With
White and his new contract.i would say..he will be at 1b
This year..
So gittens..1b prob.not..interesting..though..
Jose rojas..could be more likely
A 1b/ 3b..LHHitter
Both may still work if picked though
If santana..is traded..i would
Look for..one of these guys
To be picked

 

[ulmax]

• Baltimore..could totaly..use

Santana

Lf/Rf and DH..

That would leave options open
For pitchers..or.. position players in rule5
And get a couple prospects
For santana..
X

 

[ulmax]

Batimore..has..ryan montcastle
Coming up at 1b..and trey mancini at 1b/ dh
Renato nunez 3b dh
For santana
And
Anthony misiewicz.(rule 5 cadidate).and maybe
An other bull pin guy at most..

Would prob interest..them
(baltimore)

 

[ulmax]

The white sox could use santana
As well
Rf and dh
Sense they dfaed palka
Not really anyone at dh for them

Why would they let Newsome walk???

They do not think newsome will
Stick..on a other teams roster
For the whole year..
They think..newsome..is not ready
In which case..he would have to be offered back..to the mariners

They dont think he is walking
They think he will be there next
Year..they are prob right
