good pitching especially from the
starters. In the playoffs generally
the teams go with three and the
other two either go into the bullpen
or left off the roster though it can
change each round. The World Series
may go with four depending how
the series goes. The Mariners rotation
is such any of the five could be among
the three or four. We hope adding more
hitters or the philosophy of hitting in
September will be success in 2025.
We will look at that during this offseason.
Jerry Dipoto the President of Baseball
Operations said after the season was
over trading one of the starting five
would be plan Z. I am sure most of us
hope so though another team could
out a trade package the Mariners may
find hard to pass up. I vsee that only
bringing back a veteran hitter that has
a few good years ahead of him.
The starting pitcher on the 40 man
roster to trade outside the five who
started most of the games to trade
would trade be Emerson Hancock.
To put together a good package to
bring in a good hitter in return the
Mariners would have to add a few
other players too. I don't see or hope
none of the top ten prospects would
be traded. Only Tyler Locklear has
any major league experience. They
could add him with Hancock to
snag someone though maybe a
couple more. Dominic Canzone
showed power from the left side.
The trouble is he didn't hit lefties
very well. Other teams would have
to look at his potential.
The Mariners do have some pitching
prospects between eleven and twenty
they could add in a trade too. At the
end of the top ten who moved up in
the Mariners prospects was Logan
Evans. He pitched at double A Arkansas
Where he went 9-5 with s 3.20 era.
The Mariners tried him out in the
bullpen however they felt he was better
as a starter. The Mariners could put
him in a trade too. In eleven through
20 prospects the Mariners have 8
pitchers. They could add any of them
to a trade as well.
The Mariners first two draft picks are
in the top ten at seven and eight. The
Mariners won't trade either of those
two. We will have to see whether the
Mariners pick up a third baseman.
Next time up on the Mariners we will
look at the position players. Go M's.
