Mariners OSFM 2016 Mk I

[seanjeezy]

Looks like it is OSFM discussion time, will update op accordingly with lists and such.

In the meantime, let's talk about how bad the Mariners' farm system performed last year and how terrible it is this year!

Off the top of my head, I think we have 2-3 surefire B prospects, no A's of course... There are a couple dudes whose stock have fallen, will debate on lowering potential or lowering overall to make it harder to reach potential. Big one is DJ, but I think I had him as a 82-83 in the first place... Might be in that C+/B- territory now, or lower maybe...

But hey, Ketel Marte looks like he can be at least an everyday player so we got that going for us lol

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here is a list of interesting people!

Very interesting:

Alex Jackson
Edwin Diaz
Luiz Gohara

Interesting:

Drew Jackson
Tyler O'Neill
Brayan Hernandez
Luis Liberato
DJ Peterson
Nick Neidert
Boog Powell
Braden Bishop
Andrew Moore

Mildly Interesting:

Austin Wilson
Ryan Yarbrough
Tyler Marlette
Stephen Landazuri

IMO O'Neill and Peterson are fringe B's, and I haven't really decided on any of the new guys yet... although Drew Jackson did pretty well last year, but he's already 22. Neidert has a good mix but he's undersized and already had an arm injury, sooo...

More to come!

Edit #2

Looks like the M's are in good hands this year so I'm just gonna sit back this time, but just in case anyone is interested, here's what I was working on the last couple days:

Bold = finalized, potentials were a WIP since it looks like overall is a little more stingy this year (Like Kyle being an 82 or something, when that's what I envision Alex Jackson's stat line looking like). I gave a couple of guys a minor mulligan and was pretty conservative overall since a) our farm system was way down and b) potentials can always change so its best to go a tick or two below maximum and aim for the most likely outcome. For example, if Drew Jackson's bat is for real (like a 55 or a 60) then he's probably an easy top 100 prospect and somewhere in the 82-85 range. However, he's only been hitting for about a year now so its best to err on the side of caution.

Jackson, Gohara and Diaz are sure fire B's in my opinion. Maybe Brayan Hernandez is a B with low ratings.

Yup, those are the three lol.

I had Brayan Hernandez as a C+ last year, and I think I will stick with it because he is so far away.

M's signed 1B Dae-Ho Lee this morning.

What ever happened to Gareth Morgan? Still in the system?

What power ratings are we thinking for our Dae Ho Lee CAP?

From the looks of it, MLB The Show has completely redone their "potential" system. Only a handful of guys under the age of 23 with potentials over 90.

So where does that stack the top prospects?

I'd say Alex Jackson would be an 86?
Edwin Diaz probably an 84
Gohara at 80
I'd still give DJ the benefit of the doubt at 79

The interesting kid for me is Drew Jackson. Is this kid going to be a C- or a C+... he's going to flash the leather, no doubt. But will hit bat stick? At this stage, I'm pegging him a 78.
