#8 prospect Tylear Locklear when
Ty France went on the injured list.
Now Ty is back and Locklear is
still on the roster for the time
being. I know fans have opinions
how much both should be playing
and if so how much.
Ty has been the starter at first
base for some time since they
moved him to first base. He has
shown that he plays good defense
at first.
Ty hasn't had the season we or hr
was hoping for. His hits have come
in bunches. June he wasn't hitting
well before being injured in the
foot by being hit at the plate.
Tyler is showing that he has good
power at the plate he plays pretty
good first base as well. His power
is more than then Ty. Something
he has shown is hitting the other
way. I am sure he has been taught
that by controlling the zone. Tyler
isn't a speed burner however is
faster than Ty. When Tyler isn't
starting I could see him come
in pinch running for Ty late in
the game. He isn't Ryan Bliss on
the base plaths but still faster
then Ty. We know the defense
won't suffer either.
Being in first place the Mariners
will have Ty starting most of the
time. It would be good to have
Tyler starting at least three times
a week or why keep him on the
roster. This means he dh or play
third base as well as first.
Now that Mitch Garver is the
second catcher we will see him
catching at least once a week.
Against a lefty the Mariners
should start Ty at dh with Tyler
at first with Garver catching.
Mitch Hanger can be in right
field. This depends how many
starting lefties they face in the
week. This lineup could change
if they face more than once.
We could see Locklear play
third as well.
Locklear looks like the future
first baseman if he isn't traded.
I am sure other teams who are
looking to trade with the Mariners
are keeping an eye on him. The
question though will Ty be the
starting first baseman in 2025.
This is a lot to think about
and we will see what comes
the next several weeks.
