Seattle Mariners Low A Affiliate

This year the Mariners moved their 

Low A Affiliate to Island Empire

called the 66ers.

Since the Mariners have Thursday 

off to look at another minor league

team. They do have a rookie league 

team in Arizona and the Dominican 

Summer League.  The DSL as we 

call it are made of young players 

who the Mariners signed as international 

players. This is where Julio Rodriguez 

started his career.  

The 66ers have a few top prospects 

of the Mariners. So far they aren't 

doing well as a team with record

of 22-31. These prospects are outside

the Mariners top ten and were drafted

last year.

Kirby Dickerson was the Mariners 

fifth round pick last year and number

12 top prospect is playing center

field and has 5  home runs.  He is 

hitting  .283 with 19 rbis.  Cesar 

Quintas is a first baseman. He

was originally signed as an international 

player is in his third year in low A

however has improved batting .299

and is tied for the team lead with 7

homers and hss 36 rbis. He likely 

move up possibly to Everett in the

second half.

Another international player not in

the top 30 prospects is second 

baseman Ricardo Cova is in his 

third year at low A ball. He is 

hitting .291 with 5 home runs,

22 rbis and 18 stolen bases.

Aiden Taurek plays left field

batting .272 with 4 home runs

and 36 rbis. He was drafted 

last year by the Mariners in

the 13th round and the 29th

top pick.

In pitching another lefty picked

last year not named Anderson 

was drafted in the 4th round.

He doesn't have a record but 

has an era of 1.56 in nine starts.

He leads the 66ers with 51 strike 

outs. Also has only 8 walks.

He is the Mariners #15 prospect.

In July we will look at how the

66ers have done again plus a 

few other players.

The Mariners are taking on the

Tigers in Detroit Friday night.

So far no transactions setup

for this coming ten game 

road trip.
