Cole Young (20 years old) is off to a nice start with the Travelers. Minor league players don't get much playing time in AAA these days if they are good. But they also don't get rushed to MLB to sit on the bench. Cole is a middle infielder playing SS. Tacoma's SS is Ryan Bliss, also having a decent season. Sam Haggerty is the Rainiers everyday second baseman. If JP doesn't shake his slump in another month or so, I can see Sam getting called up for occasional starts at SS just to give JP some relief, Bliss moving to second at Tacoma, and Young called up to Tacoma to play SS for the Rainiers.
A couple of veteran starting pitchers are making an impact on the Rainiers:
Dallas Keuchel has made two nice starts for the Rainiers. He is probably first in line for a spot start if the Mariners need one or if one of the five starters goes down for a start or two. Although the current starters have five consecutive quality starts so the rotation looks locked right now with Gilbert taking the ball tonight.
If Keuchel doesn't get a spot start, Jhonathan Diaz will. Diaz is 2-0 with a 0.50 ERA after three nice starts for the Rainiers who are 11-4.
