Seattle Mariners 2022-2023 Offseason Thread

Looks like Kelenic is the opening day starter

I am OK with that 'IF' he EARNS the spot in spring training.

Maybe what Captain Headcase needs is to start a season in traditional format at the beginning vs mid season / late season call up.
Hopefully after a better than expected spring training ( offensive at the plate numbers ). At this point I would say anything north of .260 is as good as could be expected with 25-35 ab's in the cactus league this spring.

I pretty much believe this is his 'Last chance for gas' and he knows it.

These GM's are so stupid. Talk shit about a guy that you need in order to save some change.

Yea that is some real bad ball right there by team management.

Part of me is shocked ... but part of me is not. It's a big money business and they ( ownership ) is ALWAYS looking out to protect their bottom line financially.

Now we know why garlic fries and a beer is $20 bucks at the ballpark ( not that we didn't before )

To be fair, that is kind of their job and system the MLBPA has set up because they don’t want the salary cap.

Pretty sure he will have another good spring. I don’t know last year but in the abbreviated 2020 spring and that whole training camp thing they had he looked like he belonged. He has been an all world player at every stop he has had since middle school except the big leagues.

No that is not his job. His job is to present a analytical reason to why they should pay a guy X and not Y that the player wants. Saying he is the cause of their failures ( a teams failures) is just bad business and shows he is a man of no person skills. Sorry I am tired. It has been a bitch week, but my point is in there somewhere. Wrong method and unnecessary behavior. It will bite him some day.

I think his whole thing is simply pitch recognition and pitch selection.

You could tell countless times watching his half hearted lethargic swings ( weak hacks ) that he was completely fooled by the pitch and his timing was all off. The talent and hand eye co-ordination is there. He simply needs to identify the pitch and put a good swing on it.

I think it's a coin flip whether he is an asset to the ballclub moving forward. If he doesn't put it all together by the end of May, I hope they just move on from him and maybe he figures things out elsewhere.

If he does figure things out by the start of the season, he can be a bit of a difference maker if we could jam a lefty hitter somewhere in our top 4.

Top part of our order is predominant righty hitters and the bottom part leftys ( need a better balance or relief pitchers can dominate us )
