Dipoto has made good trades, but he completely fucked up the Angels farm system before coming to Seattle. The Mariners system now is also garbage.CuntWaffle said:
This. O'Neill was #2 in our farm system but would probably be outside the top 20 in most other farm systems. Jack Z was the most fucking incompetent GM ever when it came to farm system development. Which is funny because that is the reason the Mariners hired him.rustysavage said:

I think Dipoto has actually done a lot more good than bad but the franchise was in such a shit state coming in there is a ton more work to do. Especially with the core of Felix/Cano/Cruz window slowly closing.
He also has one of, if not the worst starting rotations in the American League.
I was happy when the Mariners hired Dipoto. -
Some of that's not his fault (Felix and Iwakuma should have been better this year, Smiley should have pitched), but yeah the rotation is absolute shit.RoadDawg55 said:

He's traded away almost anybody worth anything on the farm, but he's managed to put together a pretty good offense on a team that hasn't had one in 15 years and somehow cobbled together an OF from scratch which is pretty amazing.
I don't love what he's done but it's more good than bad so far.
