Official Mariners Spring Training Thread 2018

Could this force them to sign a Lynn, Arrieta, or Cobb?

Why would we need to when we have all this depth?

True, no other team has as many AAAA pitchers as us.

I wouldn't mind them taking a flyer on him:

X-rays on Felix Hernandez's right forearm came back negative.

Whew. Hernandez was struck on the upper right forearm by a line drive off the bat of the Cubs' Victor Caratini on Monday and fell to the ground in immediate pain, but appears he's avoided a serious injury. The Mariners will continue to re-evaluate him on a day-to-day basis before determining when he'll be able to pitch again.

Non Mariners News. Schwarber came ready!

Definitely better then it looked or could have been. However I'd still be surprised if he wasn't on the DL to start the season

He is still around? Seriously?

This team is fucking cursed and having a difficult time pin-pointing where and how they can be so. Perhaps they were destined to move, but still remained here. Who knows.

Either way, if you haven't see the video. Don't. It does not look good at all for Felix.

The curse is the idiots that run the team.

I was thinking the same thing! This could be a blessing in disguise to be honest, however I doubt Dip does anything. He simply doesn't realize how thin the rotation is and it is going to kill us.

Why would he do anything? The M's got all that bullpen depth.

In a way, this Felix thing actually blows for the Mariners in terms of signing Lynn or Cobb. Before, they had all the leverage in negotiating a 1 or 2 year prove it deal but now they can sit back and leverage the Mariners.

Wow holy shit. Quite the transformation. Looks like two completely different players.

If only Dan Vogelbach did something similar.

 

[seahawksfan234]

Honestly surprised that Felix may only be out 2 weeks. That looked really, really nasty. Luckily the x-rays came out negative, or at least that is what we are being told.

That was my first thought as well. No excuses for DV.

Meanwhile Moore is getting lit up like a Christmas Tree. At least no talented guy is being signed to block him though

I never understood why he is considered a prospect. His stuff is average. At best he is a #5 starter, but even that is pushing it IMO.

Yea I'd even say his stuff is below average so he will need to have pinpoint control to be anything. Could happen but we will see. It doesn't help when you have a GM who converts him into a long reliever two months after his MLB debut. Did the same thing with Povse too. I just question everything about the way this organization is handling starting pitching.
