Kelenic and Rodriguez

Tuesday's game against the San Francisco
Giants was cancelled for air quality. The
series is being moved to San Francisco
taking place on Wednesday and Thursday.
Have no idea about the series against
the San Diego Padres over the weekend
as of yet. So writing today about our two
top prospects in Jarred Kelenic and Julio
Rodriquez

Jarred Kelenic has spent the summer
at the alternate training site in Tacoma.
We will see next year how much benefit
it has been for him since no regular season
happened. 

The positive side he is facing better 
pitching in Tacoma than he would have
seen in a regular season though they 
don't play every day. 

Rodriguez on the other hand has missed
some time with an injury but has been
in Tacoma as well. Just being around
players older than him must be helping.
His personality though probably rubbing
off on the other players.

My major thought though of these two
prized prospects we will be in for a good
show if they can come anywhere close
to what Kyle Lewis is doing in his first
full season or I guess phrase partial season
since only 60 games they will be great
to watch. 

Kelenic may start the season next year
in either double-A or triple-A though
they possibility he is in Seattle from the
beginning. Rodriguez most likely see
in 2022. 

It would be nice to see them individually
making their marks as rookies though 
together I wouldn't complain about it
either. At the same time Kyle Lewis 
continue in stardom himself. He 
certainly looks like the real thing.

We have no idea when the Mariners 
will make the playoffs though they
are doing a bang up job this season 
to making it in or close anyway. We
will see over the next two weeks.

In the meantime, we will see a good
show from those three patrolling the
outfield before the team makes the
playoffs. In the infield Dylan Moore
looks to be the real thing as well. He
has worked his way into being an 
everyday player. Moore might end
up being the everyday second baseman
while occasionally playing elsewhere
to. 

Shed Long Jr who is now out for the
remaining of the season might be at
doing the utility thing if he can start
doing some hitting. At least the 
Mariners have a few other choices.

It is to bad a good guy like Dee now
known as Strange-Gordon is not having
a good season It would have been nice
to see him have a good season instead 
of a has been. We hope for the best
in his career ahead. He can get his
bat back to what it was.

Any, these are few thoughts from me.
Have a good day and enjoy tonight's
game against the Giants. Go M's.
