Mariner Talk Chat Forum

We have OD Roster Prediction and that's all well and good but we all know the team that breaks camp isn't much close to the team that we see in Sept. So here's another idea I've thought about given how poor some guys are playing, our prospects near a call up and injury returnees.

Here's what I'm expecting to see come mid-June:
LINEUP
Robles rf
Rodriguez cf
Polanco 3b
Arozarena lf
Raleigh c
Raley 1b
Ford dh
Young 2b
Crawford ss

BENCH
Garver
Moore
Solano
Locklear

ROTATION
Gilbert
Castillo
Miller
Woo
Kirby

PEN
Munoz
Santos
Taylor
Brash
Speier
Vargas
Bazardo
Kowar

I'm a Bliss guy but yeah, he's not quite ready it looks like. Hopefully he at least treads water until Young is ready

I think Polanco is best fit for DH'ing.
Get him off the field where he is not very good and hopefully keep him healthy..

I am thinking if they are in contention they will look to trade for reinforcements

Even with the infusion of talent, I shudder at that roster. Love that pitching staff, though.

Unless the team is 20 games under .500... there is not a snowball's chance in hell that both Ford and Young are on the roster.

They are not going to lean on 2x 21 year olds who put up a combined 15 homers and .750 OPS in AA the year prior.

This. Is. Insane. Speak.

"I think Harry Ford is going to be a huge reinforcement."



^^^ This fkn guy? Bro. Lay off the drugs.

What in God's name do you think a .370 slug in AA translates to "reinforcement" in the big leagues?

He's 4th on the AAA teams OPS with an .829 OPS the top 2 are over 1.000. I think it has a lot to do with how guys like Garver, Raley, Polanco, Tellez, Moore, Robles, and Bliss.

It is not impossible for these guys to contribute. But it has to do with who is performing and not. Williamson, Shenton, Rivas, Taylor, T-Lock, and Ford are guys that could contribute if injury/performance dictates.

Solano is all zeroes right now. Not even a walk. Only the mariners would keep running him out there. Lmao
