I don't think it was mentioned in this thread, but Jonny Farmelo actually made the Baseball America top 100 as well. This gives the Mariners 6 players in the top 100:

100. Jonny Farmelo
96. Tyler Locklear
82. Lazaro Montes
50. Harry Ford
38. Colt Emerson
36. Cole Young

The rankings for MLB pipeline are a little different, which is what you would expect since these are different people with different opinions:

84. Lazaro Montes
50. Colt Emerson
28. Harry Ford
27. Cole Young

I would imagine that Locklear and Farmelo are in the 100-120 rank for the Pipeline guys.

If Felnin Celesten makes it to Modesto, which I think could happen quite soon, then I imagine we'll see him on one of both of the top 100 lists several weeks later. And keep an eye on Jeter Martinez, who is striking out 12 per 9 in the ACL. If they move him up to Modesto as well and he thrives, he could jump up the rankings as well.

And then finally, keep an eye on Logan Evans to jump onto one or both of these lists at some point, though I think the offseason refresh is more likely. I don't know what kind of stuff he's working with, but the turnaround is nearly unprecedented. Just to be clear, he was a legitimately bad college pitcher that spent four years being bad at two different schools, and the Mariners have turned him into one of the best pitchers in the Texas League. I don't know what his upside potential is but the turnaround is nuts.

ESPN released a new top 50 today...

They have Colt Emerson all the way up to 12.

Ford and Young are 33 and 37.

Arkansas is playing on MiLB broadcast if anyone is interested in watching Baby M's play

I see Williamson was promoted and keeps on hitting everything but HRs. .862 OPS though...

The Mariners and the player himself deserve some credit. I saw video last year of his ridiculous swing and decided he wouldn't make it out of A ball, but here he is an actual AA player and a guy that prospect write ups actually say good things about. I'd say he has a decent shot of at least making the majors now, at some point.

Logan Evans with 6 ip, 0 ER, 8 Ks. Crazy looking at his college stats and seeing him do this. 5.88 ERA was his best year

Yep, good chance his traded at the deadline.

Evans’ mainstream numbers were underwhelming, with a 5.88 ERA as a junior and 7.43 ERA as a sophomore. But as the Mariners have uncovered with much of their pitching pipeline, some of the underlying stuff stood out, particularly with elite extension that he leverages from his 6-foot-4, 215-pound frame. Primarily a two-seam guy, Evans sits in the 93-94 mph range with his fastball. He pairs it with a slider that can consistently miss bats -- particularly against lefties -- and a cutter that’s been a weapon to righties.

From his prospect profile, mariners can project pitching
