8.rojas.......1b.L/L.
9.urias.......2b..

Bench..
Zavala..

Ruiz...LF/cf.
Shenton..1b/3b.

This..is not bad .
And.the mariners can.make it.for about..30 mil..
Prob 150mil..
Pax 10 mil.
Gurriel..16.to 20 mil

 

[ulmax]

Mariners.and Tampa.
reload
Detroit.gets a badly needed.
Ace..

 

[ulmax]

The media..is stuck..
I'm moving ahead..
Again..
Breaking out..

 

[ulmax]

It's an infield juggle .
It'll .work..

 

[ulmax]

Lourdes.gurriel jr..
Sodo mojo thinks he can.
Be really good in Seattle.
So do I..
No draft pick.comp..
So that is good .
And fairly cheap..
Gurriel .would.work for a Seattle..lineup.that.needs.
What he has..

 

[ulmax]

Rojas at..2b.fld.978..
Urias is..988..
Rojas.has never .1b..
So .I want to see .
What kind .of defence..I can.
Get .from him..at 1b.
Most people .are.better.
At.1b .
Its..Worth.a try.
If overall mariners have.good.defence..
And ya have a guy.right.
There.

 

[ulmax]

I'm not saying stop 2b/3b.
For Rojas..I'm just.saying.
Add 1b..
And see what kind of defence I can get.there.
From Rojas..

France. 3b.964..is.good..
Urias...2b..988.is good..
In Arizona .he never had.
A chance...
4 guys ahead of him at 1b.
Here in Seattle..we need an extra .guy..at 1b.

 

[ulmax]

I think.once he learns.1b.
Seattle can get..990s fld.
From Rojas at 1b.
Witch would.give.best.
Defence..
But.they.would.still.
Need him at 2b./3b.
As well..

Not too shabby, Dan said they look to be around 85-90 wins... though LF and RF look kinda rough.

85-90 is very optimistic to me. No MLB talent at 3B, LF, RF, or DH at this point. Even 2B is not MLB level. Damn we suck...again.

 

[NWinAZ]

According to Alex Speier of The Boston Globe, the Red Sox “approached the Mariners about their impressive young hurlers (George Kirby, Logan Gilbert, and others) but were rebuffed” at some point this winter. Seattle has a group of young, controllable starting pitchers including Kirby, Gilbert, Bryan Woo and Bryce Miller that would certainly intrigue the Red Sox, who are looking for controllable arms to a rotation group that has only Brayan Bello, Kutter Crawford and some hybrid-type arms (Tanner Houck, Garrett Whitlock and Josh Winckowski) under club control past 2024.

Yeah..that..is strait.fangraphs..
And only cuz.of.pitching
Julio.
And raliegh.

 

[ulmax]

So if they sell.any pitching.
Julio.
Or.
Raliegh..it's a wash.

If they add.anyone..
They prob have to go to the playoffs..
Witch..owners. do not want..

They want.to suck..
Seattle
Dry....while giving nothing

 

[ulmax]

Owner.bashisng..ohh.at least..25 years..
And that will only catch us up.
They can go sustain.your.
Self .
On bad times.

 

[ulmax]

See Wong and pollock.
We're negative.improvments..

That yeah..probably
Cost them the playoffs..

Fans don't want that.again
By waiting..
For..the cheap..free agents

Those free agents are cheap.cuz..they.suck..

 

[ulmax]

Band of brothers..

Glory.glory..what a hell.
Of a way to.die

 

[ulmax]

I have to end my draft series ...other team..use.
It against the mariners..
So I can not now .

Subscription..

Proof of owners.wanting.to.
Lose .makes no difference.
