Thank you to my teammates and fans of @jacksongenerals for the fun first half! Fun team to play with, but excited to join @RainiersLand

Well damn, seems guys that stay in AA turn out better than going to Tacoma and dominate. Of all the guys I've seen at Tacoma only Seager ever amounted to anything for the M's. The rest were brought up and rotted on the bench.

Never really thought about that, but you are right. Man that is sad.

I am curious to see how he does in Tacoma. He has been on a hot streak but I am still not convinced the switch has flipped for him yet.

showcasing for a trade?

Makes sense. Probably both a little bit of a showcase for a trade value and a showcase to the Mariners org. I think the Mariners want to know if this hot streak is for real, so would potential trade partners.

Serious question- Why with every Mariners leadership groups are we always picking up lower rated international players? Why don't we hit that group harder?

#Braves will pay 100-percent overage tax on amount above their pool allotment, which means a tax of at least $7 million, by my calculations.

I guess they value prospects more than some.

Rainiers win, 9-2, with 16-hit attack. D.J. Peterson led the way by going 4-for-5 with a triple and four RBI, two runs scored.
