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!

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.
