I think the best bet with Young is for him to kick some ass at Tacoma and come up with a hot bat. Id rwther not see him have to fight through the same early season struggles that all their vets struggle through.
Is anyone else trying to determine if Ty's Julio poster has an internal flash on the foot or if that flash is some external source purposeful or otherwise.
They literally didn’t add. They brought back Polanco, they replaced JT with Solano and that’s it. It’s the same team you ended with in 2024 Jerry/Justin must truly believe Edgar “fixed” things but that’s an unwise gamble and banking on a lot of guys bouncing back from bad seasons. Not sure I would make that same bet
I disagree that a team preforming at its 80th/90th percentile is only 3-4 wins better then a team preforming at expected. Let’s be real if Garver actually turns into a DH again, Robles puts in a 3 WAR season Raley and Cal repeat last year, Julio is in that 6 WAR season then we are winning a lot more then 90 games. The likely hood of that happening is under 10 percent for sure probably closer to 1 percent but everyone but Cal, Raley and Robles was 10 points lower on WRC+ then career norm. If we bump up to the career norms (again not saying it’s likely) we have a top 5 offense. (Isn’t gonna happen I know but is the ceiling of the team)
you are assuming several positive random chance outcomes and no negative ones. This team is probably just gonna miss the playoffs by a game or two again, like they always do..... that's just what the Dipoto Mariners are.
@ if I was assuming that I would say they would be a 150 win team…saying oh hey if a team that last year had 7 guys have the worst year of their career at the plate now have one of their better years at the plate so they will win 15 more games sounds conservative to me.
How did they think they would get so much for Castillo? They would have been lucky to get Casas and Yoshida for Castillo. To think they would get Crawford for nothing more is insane, so they have this team and will probably have about 85-87 wins and be second in the west and out of the wild card race. Castillo only pitches good in a couple of parks outside of Seattle. He had a 4+ era outside of Seattle and now he is a year older. You cant expect the world on a salary dump. But I dont see much for that team anyway. Even if the division is bad enough to win they would be quickly taken out in the post season. But it could be worse, you could be Toronto.
Yoshidas not good making $18m for next 3 seasons. Casas is injured and gained a crap ton of weight… he’s Ty France 2.0. Mariners pay millions of dollars a year for analysts in Front Office, they know what they’re doing lol.

Coming off surgery, Nico Hoerner may not be in the Opening Day lineup for the Chicago Cubs, much less the Mariners.
The Mavs bamboozled themselves.
Ceiling is 54% win percentage baby we are playoff bound

I think it's the light in his room with a ceiling fan on to affect the shadow
This is an 85 to 88 win team. We saw last year to expect anything else would be insane
my luka comment got in!!!

What's the ceiling? 83 wins.

A full season without dehart is going to do wonders. Just watch
