Mariner Talk Chat Forum

The Royals were also really dumb to call him up. He had 229 minor league AB's... Young has 1473. I'm not saying Young will never be a good ball player. But he shouldn't be on this team at the moment. I think most prospects need around 2000 minor league plate appearances. It isn't a universal rule, ...

Trade Julio


Build around Cal

I wouldn't trade Julio. Yes, he's frustrating as hell. I wonder if his private hitting coach is hurting or helping?

I think Kade Anderson will go #1 to the Nationals. The Angels at #2 could go with Liam Doyle and bring him straight to the majors, maybe in the bullpen. Doyle's so max effort he just really scares me. It's hard to imagine him not blowing out his arm in the near future. And so at #3, the Mariners wil...
