With Sims I like the fact that he has fun in the booth.

I think we were all spoiled with Rizz and Dave.

My biggest gripe with Goldsmith is that he talks down to everyone he's in the booth with.

100% agree. Your first part is maybe where I get annoyed, like class clown. But I’ve heard interviews where I totally like and admire the dude.

I wouldn't have any issue rolling with a 6 man rotation to start the season given the fact that we have 6 guys who are solid starters with the potential of adding a 7th in Brash.

The Mariners got really lucky we didn't have any rotation injuries in 2022, as much as I'd love to ship off Flexen or Marco for an established hitter, it's probably not going to happen before the season starts.

Personally I've given up on Kelenic, but it seems like all the beat writers and the Mariners brass themselves is willing to give him another shot. I get that he's only 23, but has there ever really been a guy who had such a poor start to their career and even ended up serviceable?

I am really close to the same point. But if he can just hit MLB average for a starting outfielder ( .240-.260ish ) with his speed on the bases and the ground he could cover in a small left field, he could help our defense greatly and that extra pop at the plate could be huge for us closing the gap some with the hated 'Stros. Hell if he stinks it up in Peoria, he better not be on the opening day roster. Then we can simply move on from him.

Indeed we got lucky with our SP health. No arm or shoulder issues. i think we had someone get dotted with a comebacker ( Marco ? )
Pitching is not my concern with the club. My worry is LF and middle infielders batting avg being bottom tier of MLB average for those 2 spots.
Also we need an athletic 1st baseman that is alot taller than France and alot thinner. No shifts = 1b have far more ground to cover. And unless you dip the baseballs in Hersheys syrup then add sprinkles ... I doubt France is getting after them with alot of earnest.

The big rebuttal to the Kelenic thing is there aren’t many players that are in the same position with as little at bats in the minors then getting called up, struggle and have the dude that has been linked with him for 3 years go on to become a huge star.
