Over the years, I have often viewed the Mariners through rose-colored fan spectacles, with a "glass half-full" attitude. But before April is over, I look up and notice all the other teams whose glasses are three-quarters full, or even filled to the brim and overflowing. Is this current bunch going to pick up the pace? It's not impossible, but it seems to me that the lineup is chock full of marginal bats with low probability of upside. We can only hope that Julio's slow start doesn't last half the season this time around.

You may be right about bringing up somebody a littlebit quickly. Mariners long ago were snake bitten when they brought up certain guys they thought was, in retrospect, too fast. but after watching baseball for over 50 years, I can say that the best of them quite often are ready at a really young age. And who’s to say you don’t have a guy that’s gonna be one of the best of them? Cole Young or whoever is hitting Big numbers—bring em up 🙏
