I think it's awesome that you're doing this. Some Mariners prospects related stuff:
Young/new to the system players that really should be included:
Rich Poythress: 1B, good all around hitter, lots of power
Nick Franklin: SS, average all around player no weak tools, switch hitter
Gabriel Noriega: SS, switch hitter, excellent defense average bat
Dustin Ackley, obviously - note that the team is trying him out at second base
Mauricio Robles: LHP, came over from the Tigers midseason. Fireballer, great stuff, iffy command, raw
Julio Morban: OF, very young, great raw offense
Guillermo Pimentel: Same as Morban
Steven Baron: Great defensive catcher, very iffy offense
James Jones: OF, good hitter, good speed
Kyle Seager: 2B
Dan Cortes: RHP, really good stuff, command problems but high ceiling
Johermyn Chavez: OF, raw talent, contact issues
Some other notes:
Alex Liddi - probably not as good as his offensive numbers looked last year, shouldnt be one of the mariners top 5 or 10 prospects
Greg Halman - lots of talent, but right now has no plate discipline and put up awful numbers in 2009
Josh Fields, RHP, reliever, near major league ready, didnt see him here last year.
Top 5 Mariners prospects, arguably:
Dustin Ackley
Michael Saunders
Adam Moore
Michael Pineda
Matt Tuiasosopo
Hope this is helpful!
