Jarred Kelenic Superstar or not

Last year Jarred Kelenic  had the pressure 
on him coming up as the top prospect in
the Mariners system. 

Most if the season  he put the pressure on  
himself. He did perform well the last couple 
weeks of the season. He and the Mariners 
are hoping  it is the beginning of better
things.

Those who  have  seen  him hitting in training 
camp like Jerry Dipoto and  manager Scott 
Servais believe his bat is looking more relaxed.

Jesse Winker has taken him under his wing
as well. When he came up with the Cincinnati 
Reds he was a top prospect to.  He knows the
pressure doing so as well.

Kelenic told the media he is doing the same for
Julio Rodriguez to. Wants him to know the
pressure and pitfalls of being a top prospect. 

Whether Kelenic or  Rodriguez become superstars 
or not the importance is being at least good major
leaguers.  Having Winker and Eugenio Suarez in the
lineup well as Ty France and Mitch Haniger will  help
Kelenic wherever he is placed. Where Kelenic begins 
the season the spring training games will tell.

Friday is the opening game so where Kelenic is gives 
us a better idea. I  am  sure  he is facing a right-handed 
or left-handed starter will determine his spot in the
lineup up too. Stay tuned go M's.
