frustrating. Losing 6-1 didn't help at all.
Logan Gilbert pitched well until the 7th
inning. The Mariners were down 2-1
until that point. Logan Gilbert gave up
two hits before being taken out. Dan
Wilson came out after the first hit but
decided to stay with Logan. He brought
in Gabe Speier after the secon hit and
he gave up a three run homer that basically
ended it. In the 8th firmer Mariner Ben
Williamson scored the final run.
The first day of the major league draft
happened. There were four rounds and
the Mariners signed all four a bit under
the slot amount. This means they could
give money additional to rounds 5 thru 20
though most likely not.
The Mariners first round pick was Ace
Reese third baseman from Mississippi
State. He has power and hit. The Mariners
may play him at first base. Most likely
wont play anywhere this summer and
spend time in Arizona instead.
The Mariners second round pick was Jake
Brown from LSU an outfielder. I am sure
he is familiar with last year's first round
pick Kade Anderson who went to LSU too.
Hecis expected to start his professional
career in centerfield so has speed too.
Mariners number three pick is Nathan
Taylor pitcher out of University of
Cincinnati. He is the schools all-time
in wins. His main pitch is the slider.
Word out like to have him throw more
fastballs.
The Mariners 4th pick is Trevor Lucas
third baseman from UNC Wilmington
The thought is that he will likely play
all around the infield as he isn't big
enough to hit for high numbers as
a third baseman. Tomorrow will
let you know how it goes in day two
and final of the draft.
In other local sports news the Seattle
Seahawks have been sold to Vinod
Khosia and family for a record $9.6
Billion from the estate of Paul Allen.
All the money go to donations. There
will be a lot of benefactors for sure.
Vinod is considered outstanding
person like Paul Allen. His son will
play a big part of ownership group
too. Go Hawks!
