2007 Seattle Mariners Prospects
1. Adam Jones, OF, B+ (Mike Cameron without the walks. Still young enough to
get better than that)
2. Brandon Morrow, RHP, B+ (I love his arm but he may need more time than
most high-profile college pitchers)
3. Jeff Clement, C, B (Was rushed and injured last year, but I still like
his bat)
4. Young-Chi Chen, 2B, B (I like him more than other people but where does
he fit on the roster?)
5. Tony Butler, LHP, B- (sleeper from 2006 draft could advance rapidly)
6. Ryan Feierabend, LHP, B- (best of the large group of control lefties in
the system)
7. Chris Tillman, RHP, B- (Huge upside but rather raw and will need time)
8. Eric O'Flaherty, LHP, C+ (should be a very good reliever)
9. Yorman Bazardo, RHP, C+ (doing well in relief in winter ball)
10. Anthony Vavaro, RHP, C+ (sleeper prospect recovering from Tommy John
surgery, another guy I like more than other people)
11. Wladimir Balentien, OF, C (have to respect his power and he walked more
this year, but .230 in the Texas League=.200 in the majors)
12. Mark Lowe, RHP, C (Grade B/B+ prospect if healthy, but elbow woes a
serious concern for me)
13. Ryan Rowland-Smith, LHP, C (took well to relief role, could be a good
LOOGY)
14. Robert Rohrbaugh, LHP, C (another finesse lefty)
15. Chris Minaker, SS, C (Stanford standout looks like possible steal in 10th
round last year)
16. Justin Thomas, LHP, C (another finesse lefty)
17. Andrew Barb, RHP, C (acquired from Phillies, good bullpen arm)
18. Austin Bibins-Dirkx, RHP, C (reached Triple-A two months out of college)
19. Bryan Lahair, 1B, C (Brian Daubach type)
20. Michael Wilson, OF, C (good power, works hard, strikes out too much)
Others of Note: Nathan Adcock, RHP; Gerardo Avila, 1B; Andrew Baldwin, RHP;
Travis Blackley, LHP; Michael Garciaparra, INF; Cesar Jimenez, LHP, Alex
Liddi, 3B; Kam Mickolio, RHP; Adam Moore, C; Osvaldo Navarro, INF; Carlos
Peguero, OF; Matt Tuiasosopo, INF.
The Mariners In One Sentence: Seattle has no sure-fire can't miss prospects,
as even their best guys have a questionmark or two, although Jones and Morrow
in particular have impressive upsides if they refine their talents.
Lots of variation with the Grade Cs, depending on what you want to emphasize.
The Mariners seem to have a fetish for finesse lefties, and aside from Jones
and Clement they don't have a lot of high-ceiling impact position players on
the way up.
