Nope. They're full of young talent with some peaking right now. -- nm - Krusty Jun 5, 14:16 1
- Kuechel and McCullers are 15-1 between them. -- nm - groiny Jun 5, 14:20
Surprising only in the absurdity of being on pace for 115+ wins. - Will Hunting Jun 5, 14:07 2
- yah - I can't find it right now, but I remember replying to someone last season who was dismissing their prospects. - b. Jun 5, 14:33
- And a lot of it is hitting on their #1 draft pick going off book with Correa (he took less money they then used on McCullers Jr.) - Will Hunting Jun 5, 14:11
I would say to an extent yes, only because they really only have 2 legit SP - groiny Jun 5, 13:59
it sucks because so much of it has come of the expense of the Mariners -- nm - crash davis Jun 5, 13:52
No. As the worst team in baseball for years, they got to draft early a lot. - David Jun 5, 13:52
