Glad the Mariners locked up Hernandez not only nice to have him around but Yankees and Sox fans will shut up for a while about trying to get him.

I'm on the fence about King Felix. The last time the Mariners got rid of 2 great players (R. Johnson and ARod) they got some great players in return and were actually good teams that vied for playoff spots.

Mariners could be a solid team. Unfortunately the'yre in the same division as the Angels and Rangers. But I could see Seattle being a sleeper team.

I wouldn't be totally shocked if they contend for a WC. I think our rotation got more solid with maurer coming up. And Morales and Morse definitely upgrade oue hitting.

Mariners will have 2 big issues. Health and they need guys to play to their ability.

Morse is the health guy, when healthy Morse is a masher. Gutierrez is next on that list. If he can stay healthy and be the OK offensively and best defensive CF in baseball that's a huge plus.

For ability that is almost 100% Smoak. He needs to play like the top prospect he was. Maybe adding Morse to take the pressure off as top hitter will help but he needs to start hitting or he'll be relegated to bust status pretty quick. Montero is the other one but he's much younger than Smoak so he has some time before becoming a bust but still needs it.
