kikuchi works going forward...that may make another trade of leake possible
but i dont think so....i think they will try gonzales as ace

gonzales...L/L
leake
kikuchi...L/L
swanson
LeblancL/L

hernandez , elias out of the pen

a lot of trades at this point could end up...deadline trades

 

[ulmax]

mariners..depth chart mlb.com ..says hernandez#3

he will prob get pushed to #4 with kikuchi signing

and swanson taking over when he gets pushed to the pen

 

[ulmax]

i like freddy galvis ...ss .. free agent going forward....
cuz if they get another ss later then he could be a utlity

or fit well with crawford going forward as well

and crawford could end up 2b

 

[WindyCityCoug]

or kikuchi would do i suppose.....that would make....gonzales the ace...for now

What is the latest on Kikuchi?

Do the M's still have a shot at him?

 

[ulmax]

future possible rotation

gonzales..L/L
SWANSON
kikuchi.....L/L
DUNN
SHEFIELD....L/L

there will be other possibles as they move forward

McCoughan
sanchez
Ljay newsome...may come on the radar this year

what are your thoughts on SP Logan Gilbert (righty), who came out of small college Stetson, down in FL,

same school as Kluber and DeGrom,

LeBlanc is going to be here for a while. He's cheap and the Mariners have him locked up for the next four seasons. At this point, he's probably the best pitcher in the rotation. He's 33 but doesn't have much mileage on his arm.

Exciting... I know i'm in the minority here but I like what we've done in the offseason so far... I feel we're setting ourselves up nicely for the future... This is the best situation we've been in in a long time imo…

I’m with you AO, I feel that this has been a sneaky good offseason. We’re definitely in the minority, but at this point what else do we have to lose? Can only go up as far as I’m concerned, and I think we’re gonna be more fun to watch than most will expect. There is a drawback to that in being we probably won’t end up with a top 10 pick, but that’s fine just as long as we add quality wherever we do end up.

Been a last few good weeks as a Seattle fan. Getting some prospects for the Ms and starters, ridding ourselves of bloated contracts, and the Hawks secured the #5 seed.. man if they could've gotten one off the Rams crazy to say they could've had a shot at the division!

 

[ulmax]

what are your thoughts on SP Logan Gilbert (righty), who came out of small college Stetson, down in FL,

same school as Kluber and DeGrom,

this rotaion was only to show a possible young rotation....not exclude anyone
logan gilbert will be in the mariners plans....when he gets up that far

i think he will start at low A this year....but he could move up the ladder fast

On paper offense doesnt look bad. Tough to tell on the rotation since I still think Leake gets moved. Probably still a mid 70s win team

 

[ulmax]

leblanc is a crafty vet...i dont see him going anywhere ..whether in the rotation...or the pen...but he could be traded at the deadline...sometime
if a team would need him...but that is almost anyone in baseball

 

[ulmax]

the deadline...may be what

the deadline ..may be what they are waiting for at this point

encarnacion ..would be the only question

Could be the free agent market which like last offseason is completely stalled. Machado and Harper pretty much have to sign for things to move at all.

Yea I agree EE will be dealt. My only hope the offensive side is they get a veteran SS. I think some kind of a hedge for Crawford or the next guy is needed
