i still say eddie E and swarzack...for#35.overall ...lucios fox...ss(# 9 pospect.)and... emilio pagan..but i would prob have to settle for...jose del leon.relief pitcher..its ok though
and i would send... randy bell ..relief pitcher (modesto)as well

i would not eat more of the contract than what it payes to the deadline..which i think is fair

 

[ulmax]

list of minors position...that i think need filled
AAA
catcher....L/L
DH
LHP..in pen long relief would be good
AA
3b
high A
DH...if no camacho
ss

that is not a lot..and could be traded for...that would leave only
a 2b of the future to be found

after this years draft and by 2020
the minors pithing should look as good or better than..
other teams do...lol

 

[ulmax]

i would like to see the mariners
stock up on 1b and ss in this years
draft...making those positions streathes as well
they drafted a lot of 2b types last
year that really helped

and after frailey.dom williams.
and kilinik added to the mariners
minors..the outfield..is still the biggest streanth...of the mariners
minors

 

[ulmax]

while doing the rest of the rebuild
the mariners need to find the next
diaz
so lets look at it
diaz was a AA starter when deporo started being gm of the
mariners. .he was doing...
ok...at that lvl he could throw realy
high heat. .but after a couple years he was still at that lvl
as a starter
so they made him a closer
and
..wala..the diaz we know today
so do the mariners have anyone
like that know.??...yes.. at least
to a certian point.. they do not have his twinn brother...lol.(last i herd he did not have one).lol

but art warren. if he could stay healthy ..may be a cadidate..

enter last years modesto starting
rotation
Ljay newsome
danny garcia...L/L
McCoughan
Wells...L/L
Reggie Mclane

garcia.with a 600 era at modesto
would prob be better off in pen
closer would be good as well
..trust me...he can handle it

newsome and mcCoughan still
have potential as starters
and prob will not be tryed
at the least till they do a year
at AA
wells and McLane should be sheduled for long relief at AA

but newsome and McCougan
could turn into candidates later
same as diaz did

 

[ulmax]

the not talked to much about pitcher ...max povse had a better
second half than first half last
year..as he was learning to
be a starter at AA...but he could
surprise this year i think he will be
sheduled for AAA
if he breaks out...we could see him
at MLB by the end if the year as the #4 guy

kikuchi..L/L
swanson
gonzales...L/L
povse
LeBlanc....L/L
that would.. really help the mariners
with the rebuild ( he was a 3 rd round draft choice..atlanta 2014)

 

[ulmax]

moesto projected rotation is a rotaion that will promote..lower
lvl guys to move up..like gilbert
and torres

modesto
clay chandler
ramond kerr..L/L
scott boches
steven moyers...L/L
ryan inman

possible
west virgina power..rotation

Gilbert
orlando razo...L/L
torres

i was going to put
caraballo..but im not sure that
elias espino ..is not better..he could win the compitition in spring
or end up at aqua sox..still ok
but both may be there

max Roberts...L/L

they are still searching for...one more catcher

 

[ulmax]

Rosscup

showed he is not just
a LHspecialiat last year against
the mariners in LA.(dodgers)

sitting down the side

i have been a fan of his sense he was in chicogo..and wanted to trade for him...he is better now
and fits the mariners

 

[seattlefan75]

Man Dan Vogelbach is so frustrating talk about a guy who crushes it at AAA but cant hit a damn thing at the major league level

a full year at mlb..and knowing
the pitchers..will change that

so it is good that there is platoon help...my goal for him would be
hit 260-270 with 20-30 Hrs...
for this year

 

[ulmax]

nutra diet could help voglbach
20 0r 30 lbs...may make him a better defender

but he is a husky muscular guy
ya gotta workout and eat right

I see him more .230-.240 17Hrs

 

[ulmax]

no way...fansides...they can keep
bundy(oriales)

some of the relief guys are ok..
phelps is a target of mine as well

 

[ulmax]

if tampa cant aford encarnacion
they cant aford to go to the playoffs


they dont have anyone on the roster that makes any money at all

 

[ulmax]

morton makes 15 mil
kiermaier makes 8 mil
everyone else makes under a mil

idk how they stay in the mlb

 

[ulmax]

I see him more .230-.240 17Hrs

yeah that would ..prob be
ave...then anything less below ave

My only hope position wise is they get another SS in there. I'd also assume EE is definately gone and Leake is probably gone at this point but who knows. Maybe Leake is more of a July thing with the way the market is going.

Bullpen looks like but I'm for giving younger guys a chance there and letting them take their lumps. No reason to throw money at the bullpen right now
