Episode Details

Hello Seattle Mariners fans!

John Trupin, Kate Preusser are joined by Lookout Landing prospect expert Max Ellingsen on July 13th to talk future stars at the halfway point in the minor league season. Max has been spending time watching the Everett Aquasox, getting to see the much heralded Lazaro Montes and Michael Arroyo in person. Max remarks on improved athleticism and movement from our future star and Kate points out that Lazaro has unfairly been given the “big boy” speed tax based on his size. Kate says Aidan Smith in the fourth round was the Mariners biggest draft steal in recent years, next to Logan Evans and Brandon Garcia. The gang reflects on the Fangraphs prospect rankings and the differences in perception on some of the higher profile names (Arroyo, Ford, Morales). Finally we shift to looking at the draft and a world of possible selections. Does the team add young arms to begin the next rotation? Could a surprise college bat make an impact right away? Which teams might be looking to draft similar players and could foil the plot?
