Man can you let us be hopeful lol you killed all the energy.
agreed...
I am not sure why because history is not on their side, but I really expect good things from Hancock, Kirby, and Gilbert. Carlson maybe as well if he stays healthy. Of course their talent has a great chance of being used by other teams when we deal them for utility players...
lol..yeah...
yeah..im trucking and..doing a bit of construction..these days with my brother...rather than being a deck hand.......in clackamas county..its good..its
Jarred Kelenic...........L/L......CF...........invited to spring training......if he does well there.he could be moved up to tacoma.and others will be sent to arkansas.which would put him in position for..a late september call up..or a next year call up these 2 guys are big reasons..why the mariners did not go out and get a free agent ..LH BAT.when..they really need to do..an eval over time on almost everyone.,.it could take ..till almost ..till...late july early august..to do that..a good..time..lol..i would say..just in time for a trade...lol by the time..they do an eval..on Chris Flexen 77..........they will know weather he will start or..go out of the bull pen...by then..a couple months into the season

I have been to Clackamas many times. I had my kidney stone surgery there at the Kaiser last year. I agree it is not Multnomah County which I avoid at all costs. I'm in Cowlitz County so not far from you.
best of the rest ..not in the top 100
Ty Duvall..should move up some at catcher..........was awesome at vanderbilt..he is ok good on defence..with room to improve his bat..is good for a catcher...and he is a LH bat.......a free agent..after last years..10 round draft..mariners got lucky...he signed with them |
| Brandon Williamson......also should be on the same timeline as kirby Isaiah Campbell.............should be prob at least a year behind kirby like the other guys on this list..they need to play..so we can get some stats

This is what I don’t get. How do Kelenic and Rodriguez keep flip flopping in the rankings the past two years when neither has taken a meaningful AB. IMO Kelenic is the best prospect only because he has lefty Mike Trout potential with his 5 tool skill set as his ceiling. JRod has a Vlad Guerrero ceiling, where isn’t a great base stealer....and obviously in two years in minor league baseball having two injuries also has become a concern, but Lewis has worse injuries and showed he at least could be dominant. We all got to remember with Lewis the pitchers just started adjusting to him but it was only a 60 game season so we didn’t get to see his adjustments back.
Well the simple answer is that these rankings only exist to make the companies providing them millions. They are entertaining to look through, but they are meaningless in the end. They allow teams like Seattle to sell fans several non-competitive years without outrage by posting these lists over and over. Remember when Phil Nevin was the can't miss prospect? There are hundreds of those in baseball and that is why I put zero worth into them. Enjoy them for the entertainment value.
Well no, I had no idea who Nevin was an had to google him. I get the whole they want to make money but I will say scouting is hard in baseball because it is so much of a projection when even AAU baseball or whatever it is called now, you never see the best of the best play each other. I would’ve bet my entire life at the time Jeff Clement was going to be a star.
I am with you on that. I loved Clement at USC watching him destroy teams in the tournament that year.
Lol ok we agree.I am with you on that. I loved Clement at USC watching him destroy teams in the tournament that year.
Scouting in baseball is hard. I might even say impossible. I think teams get lucky mores than hit on prospects. Not sure why this is compared to other sports. My theory (and it is worth its weight in gold I tell ya) is that baseball is the only sport of the majors that take their picks and play them against equal or lesser talent at a lower talent level in order to develop them. You take basketball and football and they take their kids and practice them against their top players. They may not play the kids for months or even a year or two before giving them game time, but they are always practicing (and I say developing) against players they hope to one day compete against. Baseball doesn't do that so even when a kid shows great promise he gets humbled when he then has to go against top talent. Call it sticker shock or whatever, but I believe it plays a factor. The solution? Well I can't give away all my secrets.
