Mariners: The Mariners are also sending an impressive group, including top prospect Harry Ford, infielder Ryan Bliss, first baseman Tyler Locklear and pitchers Jimmy Joyce and Peyton Alford. Ford, who starred in the World Baseball Classic for Great Britain, is a 20-year-old catcher who hit 15 home runs and posted a .410 OBP (103 walks) in 118 High-A games this season. Bliss was the top prospect acquired from Arizona in the Paul Sewald deal. He hit .304 with 23 homers and 54 stolen bases in a season that included a trip to the Futures Game. The right-hander Joyce missed the first two months of the season but had a 2.57 ERA and 83 strikeouts in 70 innings as a starter after his return, finishing the year in Double A. Alford, a left-handed reliever, struck out 71 in 47 2/3 innings in High A.

Bayless and Alford both 26 in High A, but with good years.

Alford, Lefty reliever

Bayless righty reliever. For some reason struggled in a very short stint in Low A, but much better in high A

This is a great test for him. Obviously is the best pitching he has ever faced in his life.

Maybe some but I remember UK facing some pretty obscure countries in terms of being Baseball power houses.
