Mariners Minors

Well F. On a positive note though he won’t be dealt. I’ve listened to a few prospects podcasts that have him as the number 1 in the system.

Ya he has moved up fast as anyone. Hopefully this is Lewis 2.0.

Wait... wasn't he brought in to be a spot starter? Why wasn't he the guy when they had to scratch Woo?

That was my thought when they called up Diaz. I thought for sure it would be Dallas.

Well maybe I spoke too soon.

Damn you hate to see these things and what nobody talks about is that its injuries like this that may alter their career. He may not be able run down balls in the outfield or around the base paths the same

I’m not a doctor but it seems this injury is thus far a lot better than Lewis having to have two complete knee surgeries in 3 years. Just think it’s a tad early to do any comps to Lewis.

Plus I hope the organization actually treats this way different than whatever was going on with Lewis.

We can hope. I don't want to see any kid go through what Lewis did.

No, while I’m not crying for him cause he made money. But his baseball career I wouldn’t wish upon anyone.

I still want him to write a book though on him vs the front office. His post M’s career kind of proved Jerry wrong in terms of him implying Lewis was faking being hurt.

With all that speed, Ford shouldn't be squatting behind the plate 9 innings a day, 6 days a week. I guess he is the heir apparent to Raleigh but, as much as I hate the Mariner brain trusts switching the prospects from their natural positions, this might be one time when it is called for.

When Jason Kendall came up with the Pirates as a catcher, he was an effective base stealer, but that was over by the time he was 25-years-old. Craig Biggio came up as catcher too and was also a good base stealer but the Astros wisely moved him to a different position before his knees got destroyed.

I don't think the Mariners have any intention of bringing up Ford or Young to the Majors. I was under the impression a promotion from AA to AAA is so that if an MLB player is injured its easier to bring someone from Tacoma to Seattle on short notice as opposed to Arkansas.

I do agree about Celesten getting promoted especially him being 18 and there is no point in keeping him at the lowest level to dominate. Now who would they promote to create space is a good question because its not like any of the infield prospects are exactly lighting the world on fire.

The Mariners don't need Ford right now anyway. Garver is now the second-string catcher and his bat is starting to wake up. Young isn't needed right now either. We have a 9-game lead and Bliss has blended with the roster quite nicely. His future in MLB is probably more of a utility guy so he may as well stay here. Young's future in MLB, at least for now, projects to starter, so he needs to stay in Arkansas, or Tacoma, and keep building his minor league resume.

Joe Mauer and Buster Posey are good examples too.

I’m not sure with what is going on with Ford because all reports were they were going to just try him at different positions in the spring and they didn’t. I haven’t looked at every Arkansas box score but I don’t think he has played another position either.

One thing I’d like to see them experiment with when Polanco comes back and they send him down is see if he play OF.
