That got them four more wins than us. And their farm system isn't even ranked in the top half of baseball. I think we would have came up with four more wins if Haniger and Seager hadn't been injured, had Crawford all season vs. the worst defensive SS in baseball history in Bechkham and we didn't use 57 pitchers that probably will never pitch in big leagues again.

The Mariners would love it if Justin Dunn wins a spot in the rotation in spring and Logan Gilbert follows at some point in 2020.
But they have to be pragmatic and add some depth this winter.

Why? Just sign some more scrubs from the Indy leagues or use their bad AAA starters. I don't get the point of spending fairly significant money signing stop gap back end FA starters in an attempt to win three more games in another season that they will likely finish under .500.
It will be a tough division but I don't see the Angels having much if any advantage over us at this point. Who cares if they spend this off season. We aren't trying to win next season.Dr Naysay wrote: ↑Fri Oct 25, 2019 5:41 pmNot sure what their record last season has to do with anything.

I tell you what, let's book mark this page and we will see how easy the division will be in a couple of years because my expectation is it will be the second or possibly even the most difficult divison in all of baseball.
That is why you make a huge offer for Boras(Cole) to shaft the Angels more.....make the 6yr $240mill offer and make Arte and the rest of baseball match it.D-train wrote: ↑Fri Oct 25, 2019 5:49 pmIt will be a tough division but I don't see the Angels having much if any advantage over us at this point.

Comparing a team with Ohtani and Trout to us with the only similarity being a high priced player coming of the bill.
