May 15, 20214 yr I have to cheer for Midwest kids. Hot take: he will be the next Jeremy Reed Real take: Great fortune that the Mariners suddenly have four of the most interesting OFers while Haniger is still rostered...good newsfor the playoff-less franchise fans to have hope again (compared to, say, Detroit.) M’s fans are or were some of the best in the game.
May 20, 20214 yr Crickets. OPS at Leury Garcia level, 512. Going to have to start making some adjustments to how he's being attacked and focused upon by advance scouts. 1/3, up to 564 ops. Edited May 20, 20214 yr by caulfield12
May 23, 20214 yr .152/.525 (5/32, three hits came in just one game) Almost dumped a single into LF but Pham made a nifty diving catch to rob him. Then a ground out to SS with two outs and two runners in scoring position. Edited May 23, 20214 yr by caulfield12

Just kidding. Tonight, against OAK so far...2/3, RBI Now at 614/.182 (2 homers, 5 RBI's). At least he's outhitting Leury???
May 29, 20214 yr 8/56=.143 .499 OPS. We will see how long they let him continue to struggle before trying to get him going again in the minors. 11 strikeouts and 4 walks. Edited May 29, 20214 yr by caulfield12

June 5, 20214 yr Down to .101, yikes. Surely they won’t allow him to fall much further? 8 for 81= .099 Edited June 6, 20214 yr by caulfield12

This is the first time he's ever failed in his baseball life and he's going to come out of it an even better player. He's a superstar.

June 7, 20214 yr Hopefuly they appreciate him in Tacoma, as that's where he'll be for the foreseeable future after being optioned there this morning. What a complete disaster.

Sox did well with their pick as did Cinci. Jury is still out on Kelenic and I think his FV has already taken a bit hit because he's a mediocre corner OF at best. There's no way he's ever a CF and he has a long way to go to get to good in a corner as well. His routes are really bad. Edited June 7, 20214 yr by chitownsportsfan

I remember saying that I was positive that someone with a higher ceiling would be taken behind Nick, and would end up being a better player in the long term. But what we knew with Nick was that he was about as good of a bet at finding someone to be a 10 year starter as existed in that draft that we could have selected. The hard part was finding which guy that was, and then getting them developed and contributing. Plus Nick is already a contributing starter on a playoff caliber team.

It was probably the one time out of 100 it made sense to draft for need. sox needed a plug and play 2B for the contention window, nick fit the bill.
June 7, 20214 yr I am super thrilled with how Nick has played this year. But, I feel reasonably convinced that had we drafted Kelenic he would be playing for a different org right now but we'd have a pretty amazing player in return. Not like the mets.
