pitchers a chance to pitch in the majors
however not much in position players.
Mike Ford lefthanded hitting first baseman
came up mid-season to be dh since not
anything going on there. He did a descent job
especially hitting home runs.
Early on the Mariners brought up Jose Caballero
to platoon at second base with Kolten Wong
until he exited at the trading deadline. Jose
had a good start then not so good at the plate
in the second half. I expect Jose will get another
shot this spring. He could be the Mariners number
one utility player. All depends whether they pick
up another one.
Tyler Locklear who finished 2023 at double-A is
having a good time in Arizona Fall League. Tyler
plays either first or third base. He may need another
full season in the minors however Tyler bats right
handed which would be valuable to the Mariners
where it was a weak link especially after Tom
Murphy was injured. A number 11th prospect for
the Mariners we could see him traded along with
a young pitcher or two during the off-season too.
Over the weeks ahead we will look at other minor
leaguers who could make steps forward. Go M's!
