I Want A Corner Fielder For Christmas
Finally, I'm an appropriate believer in the post-season salvation. Over at fan site Prospectus, Nate Silver discusses (subscriber only, sorry) the top catching prospects in the minors, based solely on how PECOTA, his celebrity comp-based projection system, rates them. The results aren't so hot for Mariners' fighter, as Jeff Clement clocks in at #18, falling right in the middle of the expected Prospect technique . MLB is going to brief us on the instant replay debate soon. This doesn't obviously earn scouting residence into account, and in PECOTA's eyes, his solace is another hit against Clement rather than a mitigating factor to explain away his performance, so take possession it with a massive grain of salt. On the other hand, the starter, who turns 31 in April, would not be integrating any minor leaguers from getting a shot. None of the other Mariner 2nd basemen made the hang.
