    Most elite baseball players are douche bags until they get a little older. He definitely seems to be with the majority.

    Julio is wearing clogged chains with J-Rod in diamonds hanging off it and I think he will be a superstar. I don’t dislike Kelenic for being a douchebag. I dislike him because he hasn’t produced and was one of the worst regular’s in the league for most of this season.

    Kelenic is doing better. I fully admit it’s too early to make a real judgement, but I don’t think he’s a future star. I’ll be happy if he’s a solid regular and worth 2-3 wins per year.

    Totally agree Julio's the superstar.

    I think Kelenic's more a mostly healthy Mitch Haniger than a superstar but that's better than 2-3 wins a year.

    You might have misread me. I was just making an observation about baseball players, not addressing anything specific you had said.

    I agree with the Haniger projection. Kelenic has more potential than that as a hitter, but he won't realize it because Seattle. That's still pretty good though.

    Jump on M’s bandwagon now. Hawks, Huskies are on the downturn. I find myself more invested in this team since they have prospects I have watched come up through college or earlier.
    1b- Evan white. If healthy and he can hit decent. May play vs rhp only
    2b. Toro
    SS Crawford
    3b France. Have to have his bat in there
    C- Raleigh. Murphy a disaster
    LF Julio
    CF kelenic
    RF Haniger
    DH Lewis

    Gilbert, Flexen, Gonzalez, Brash, Kirby.

    Adding Semien would be amazing but probably pipe dream.

    Why would White only play against RHP?

    You aware he bats right?

    And that's a mediocre team. They have to add at least two star level players (probably one bat and one starter) if they're going to seriously compete.

    France is a bad fielder at 3B so Toro will go to 3B and they will sign a FA for 2nd base. Ideally White wins the 1B job and France spells him there while manning the DH. If White can't hit enough, then France is a decent enough fielder there.

    So my plan would be to sign LHP Eduardo Rodriguez and 2B / UTL Chris Taylor to multi-year deals. I'd also kick the tires on Justin Verlander, if he checks out maybe he'd accept a 1 year deal at $15 million with a mutual option at $25 million for 2023.

    I'm not sure who will receive qualifying offers or if Kikuchi will free up $13 million by not exercising his 1 year option.
