Mariners 2023 - 2024 offseason thread

[ulmax]

The bottom part of the lineup..is a bit.
Underpowered..for me..

.haniger..urias..250.hitter.haniger..
250.hitter.urias..
250.hitter haggerty.
230.hitter..raley...
Canzone..is unknown..but did hit 220.

It looks like a creation.of hitting..anemia..
Hopefully not .

 

[ulmax]

Upside.if canzone and raley can get better..
Then ok .
Haniger.can hopefully..hit 250..with hrs.

Urias ..big .chance here ..a fringe..
3b..going into spring..training..
I don't expect.big things.

But i.hope he can prove me wrong..

No haggerty..is a 250 260 hitter.
So ok.

France-6.75 million

It seems they are bringing..the.floor up to.
250 bat ave..witch.is good..but .
I think.it might take just a bit more..

 

[ulmax]

1crawford..266.bat ave.
2.julio..........275 bat ave
3..France....250..bat ave
4garver........270..bat.ave..
5.raliegh.......230.bat ave.
6.haniger......256.bat.ave.raley 230.
7.canzone....22o.bat ave..hopefully does better
8.urias.. .......225..bat ave.best.245.
9 Rojas .........253.bat ave..

That's why I like that.one more bat.
At #3...that hits..300.
And Frances.250 or better.#8..
Yeah they need to raise.the floor..a bit more..

 

[ulmax]

I'm ok with urias.a bench guy..
But ya like him to hit better than
245 at best....as a starter..

Don't ya.

Well canzone.is a rookie..there is a difference .
And haggerty hits 250.( Platoon partner)
And so does Rojas for that matter.

Is there really a hope of.urias.hitting.
250..
It's American league.not national.

 

[ulmax]

Yeah I know Frances 250.is worst ever.
For him .and he is working on it..
Yeah i know...
But urias is a real.project..and.the.#1.
Spot the mariners need to get better.

 

[ulmax]

The problem..urias is a bench guy..2b/3b
With no space .
For such spares..and urias.no options.

 

[ulmax]

If you say a. lot of teams have urias.
Guys.
I have to say..no..mariners are a playoff.
Team ..
Not.a.re-working..team..
Taking..bench guys .or projects..

 

[ulmax]

When giovanny.ursela..is still available.

 

[ulmax]

What happens.if injuries..
Bliss to 2b...Rojas to 3b..I guess

 

[ulmax]

Cuz both urias and urshela. Have injuries.
A lot .
I would rather start with urshela..
And go to
Rojas and bliss later..

As i see the first few snow flakes.
Fall.in Portland...
Winter is here

 

[ulmax]

Urshela..at#3..and.
France .at.#8.would he better..
And sitting on the..hands...
Will not do...

Facing..
Reality..is the order of the day..

Not Pollock or..Wong.

 

[ulmax]

Mariners already..have a number 1.
Zero..
His.name is Dylan Moore..a second.one.
Will not do.....
No one ever says number 2 zero..
Cuz..
Ain't any..and no room for them.

 

[ulmax]

Best spot for urias..traded to Oakland..
For a minor league guy..before it's to late..
To get urshela..
Mariners did sign a guy from.
Nat bats last year that will do in case.
If emergency .AAA..

 

[ulmax]

Yeah .micheal.chavis... was signed.
Now urias.is expendable..
For
Ursela..
Yeah well. He is about same as urias.
But he is at AAA..
What does that tell..ya

 

[ulmax]

Only difference.is.chavis.is at.AAA.
Where ya need him to be
Urias is not.

 

[ulmax]

I'm tired..of being set..up..to be a loser..
And that is what they.did 1st..
Set up..
To lose..in 1st trade .
Mariners are not that team any longer..
They are .
Not
Rebuilding team ..that is done..
It over....
We don't want..AAA guys.at.mariners.
Any longer

 

[ulmax]

Please don't send Milwaukee. Hand me downs again...
Wong now urias

 

[ulmax]

Please don't send Milwaukee. Hand me downs again...
Wong now urias

Yeah they...
had urias when.he had options..Seattle has .him.
As a re-tread..that gives .seattle.
No hope at..3b..
