Seahawks need a better...qb..
Than smith...the only..way..to.get that..
Is make..one..out of..raw..material..

So..what..qb..in the draft..has the rae material...for that ..with..the brains...
Is the..guy..

None of them will..be better..than smith.
Next year....that is for..sure..so drafting for the future...is still good .

 

[ulmax]

Yeah..well ..my brother..always liked..
Wrecking..the center...and..breaking up
The play..in the backfield..and or just taking..the ball..away..
From them..
He still..loves. It..lolololo

Yes .he knows..the center for is at..
Automatic .disadvantage...he..counts on that...

 

[ulmax]

Really..it was my brothers..speed..that would wreck...the centers...yes..he had
Power..for that lvl..as.well..
But...
So..know..you know..the truth..speed kills..
What..else..is new....

So you take..a Jalen Carter ..and see..how fast...he is.....
Or..whatever ...lololo..
My brother..always..gets off the..ball..quickly...
He Bragg's..he can beat.
.the .center..
And the center knows..the snap..count.. lolol

Yeah..find .that..guy..at the nfl..lvl..
And you have..something..

 

[ulmax]

Right...so in the meantime...seahawks.need..a guy..to stop..the run...and clogg..the center..
At..NT..
So if..Carter..can..do..that..
Or someone else..at lower..lvl..draft..
Then..ok..

 

[ulmax]

Mariners..Jake..gelof..Virgina..
#22..no..that..is his jersey..number.

Born..Feb..25..the..2002..
Bats right...throws.. right..

Broke..Virgina..single season..rbi..record..
With .81..
That..is a feat..in itself..
Hit..21..home runs..in 2022..

I have no reason to..think..he will not have..
A good year..again..which..for me...
Would make..him..my 1st rounder..

377..Ave..81..rbis..21 hrs..80.hits.65 runs

6-1..195..
With..a..909..fld..maybe..he..is 1st..base..
But..a..950..or..960..would..this year..
Would still put..him there..for me..
Or maybe .he is a 2b...lol

His brother..drafted .by oakland...
A natural...compatition...a healthy..
Compatition..lololol

Playing on the other .team..the family..
Has..2.chances..lololo..and they could..

ESPN: 2023 MLB farm system rankings: Kiley McDaniel on all 30 teams​

29. Seattle Mariners ($108 million)​

Last year: 6th, $271 million

Top-100 prospects: 2

Seattle is one of the few franchises that has recognized that its core wasn't good enough to be a sustained contender, committed to a two-to-three-year rebuild, ran low payrolls as part of a plan, then actually built the team, spent at least some of the money that was saved and made the playoffs -- all on schedule.

There's a great young core headlined by Julio Rodriguez in the majors and some recent trades of top-100 types to build that major league roster has hurt their overall ranking here, but the key is to have one or two new real prospects showing up every year. I think there's enough here to keep that up, with some exciting young position players who are years away and some pitchers who might be ready by the trade deadline.

Yeah .there .is a bit..more it..but basically..
Yeah .

 

[ulmax]

What a difference a year makes.

Yeah..but they..have..the ninth..hardest..
Schedule..
But .they..do .have..enough..pitching..

I think...we will...see..
If only..just..bearly...

Maybe..

It's iffy...if..there..are..a.lot..of injuries..
But..if that..is the..case..late..

It may still..be good..

With...

Dollard..
Miller..
And..
Hancock..

Woo..
Campbell..
And..
Berroa...

To still ..hold off...the compatition.

 

[ulmax]

Bats..in the..outfield..seem..numerous..
The infield..not as...but they are .good..

You would like..to..see..an infield..
At..Tacoma...on the..40..man..
But it's ok...
Palcavich...seems far..away..

Ya never..really..get..it perfect.

..you go..
When you are ready..enough..

enders game

 

[ulmax]

Yeah..recent..Leonardo..Rivas..was signed..to Tacoma..prob .ss/2b..but..

And Ian.
Clarkin..LHP..
Ok
And
Bukauskas..down..

Ok

Got it..

 

[ulmax]

Prob..AA..as far..as I can tell...I'm not sure..
On this one...other than..he is a project..
They want...to continue...??..Morgan..
The best..reason..is..
Can help..with..pitchers..getting..work in..
But..if he can get better..at hitting..ok then..
.

Oh I so do not like this.

That doesn’t mean Miller can’t contribute to the Mariners in 2023, however.

“He might get a crack sooner than that in our bullpen, much like we did with Matt Brash (last year). Just give him an opportunity to make an impact on what we think is a good team, because if we feel like he is one of our best 13 arms, we’re going to keep our best 13 arms,” Dipoto said.

So Seattle has the 29th farm system? What does the money mean next to them.

But if that is the case then why couldn’t he crack the roster as the number 5? I have already stated I’m cool with going the Brandon Morrow route, but they are worried about their arms now with all the stupid innings limits and the bullpen isn’t suited for that because there isn’t a routine where they can cap the innings. Kind of dumb if they heat him up in the pen and only send him out for a couple outs because he is at his weekly innings.

I don't like the idea even though years ago I did. With all the self imposed team rules for starting pitchers, it just messes with their arms and heads. To me it is like the difference in training a sprinter vs a long distance runner. The training is good for the specific field, but then when you switch the runner from one to the another it just seems to put them in harms way with injuries because of the specific training styles. But who knows.
