Re: JK's career is over
He was rushed but then he was returned to AAA, then came back and failed, then was sent back to AAA, and now he is failing again. Literally nothing to indicate he will be a productive mlb hitter other than just repeating the top prospect argument which is a bit light given hundreds of top prospects have failed.Juliooooo wrote: ↑Tue Aug 09, 2022 2:24 amHe was rushed like crazy.

And a lot of guys don't figure out our until later. I'm not banking my career in it or anything, but I think he'll figure it outDavidGee24 wrote: ↑Tue Aug 09, 2022 2:36 amNo. He won't.

Sure but the disconnect is the NONE of thim started this horrifically. If he was hitting .200-220 with close to a 700 OPS then sure by all means but it would be unprecedented in the history of baseball.Juliooooo wrote: ↑Tue Aug 09, 2022 2:41 amAnd a lot of guys don't figure out our until later.

Re: JK's career is over
Why in the F is Santana DHing vs. Lamb v. a RH starter. Such idiots.
Lamb .850 vs. RH starters.
Santana .618 vs RH starters.
Lamb .850 vs. RH starters.
Santana .618 vs RH starters.

Re: JK's career is over
I would like a Mariner reporter to look into JK’s early years….few people are aware that he never played high school baseball….He has been handled differently….Played elite baseball camps and never got his jersey dirty. Finally powder boy is getting humbled and his world is upside down. Virtually no time spent starving in the minors……Why did Jerry not see he wasn’t ready for prime time last year instead of bringing him up at leadoff….Almost appears Jerry was trying to embarrass his stupid ass……. The trouble I see is Jerod has mental deficiencies either bi polar or worse. Just a complete failure and Jerry can’t hide from the scrutiny….The kid clearly wasn’t ready
Re: JK's career is over
If the M's are able to trade him, they may at least get something out of him. Perhaps a A or AA cannon fodder player. But for now, the trade market has dried up. No GM would even give up a bag of fungo balls for him. He's toast.

You're saying elite baseball camps are below the quality of highschool baseball? You really don't think they get their jerseys dirty?Coeurd’Alene J wrote: ↑Tue Aug 09, 2022 11:25 amI would like a Mariner reporter to look into JK’s early years….few people are aware that he never played high school baseball….He has been handled differently….Played elite baseball camps and never got his jersey dirty.
