Seattle Mariners
AL WEST FPR RANK: 2
The bar graphs reflect the average points given by the voters for each category.
The overview
The Mariners are where the Royals were earlier this year, and where the Pirates were in 2013. They have made progress, but the team needs to take the next step forward to re-engage the fan base. -- Buster Olney
The dilemma
The Mariners need to find a long-term cleanup hitter to hit behind Robinson Cano and in front of Kyle Seager, and they might be willing to deal one of their top pitcher prospects to make a deal happen. The Mariners are expected to inquire about Giancarlo Stanton, Matt Kemp, Carlos Gonzalez, Yoenis Cespedes and Allen Craig. -- Jim Bowden
New guys
Alex Jackson may have been the best pure hitter in this year's draft class, a high school catcher whom the Mariners have moved to right field to try to get his bat to the majors faster. -- Keith Law
