Sounds about right.  

[interloper]

I'm interested to hear if there's anything that sticks out about the guy. Probably not, but why not throw another middle infielder into the mix down there. 

[Frobby]

My question is what are they going to do with this guy?    We already have Adam Hall, Cadyn Grenier and JC Encarnacion at 2B/SS/3B at Delmarva, the level that Ogren is at now.   Plus Branden Becker as the utility guy.   I don’t see Ogren as an upgrade to any of them.

Could Hall see a bump to Frederick soon? He's playing well.

There’s a blurb on Ogren in here:  https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.lookoutlanding.com/platform/amp/2019/2/26/18241084/2019-mariners-top-prospects-the-ones-who-just-missed.    Seen as a defense-first player who should be able to stick at SS.

At first i read this as Wright traded for organ.  I know watching Wright pitch has hurt my liver from all the drinking when he is on the mound good to see Elias getting a new one for people.

Cadyn Grenier hasn't necessarily earned it yet (OPSing a respectable .764 through 15 games after putting up a .630 in 162 ABs last year), but I wouldn't be opposed to pushing him to Frederick, as he's already 22 in low-A.  Though Mason McCoy is off to a huge start at SS in Frederick (OPSing .902),  from my understanding most folks don't really consider him a genuine prospect (he just turned 24), and there is room for another middle infielder there.

I remember seeing his name a couple times prepping for the 2018 draft, I haven’t seen him play though. If I remember correctly he was a polished approach contact over power guy who had virtually no power with a wood bat.

[Aristotelian]

I don't even have to look up his stats to know that we ripped off the Mariners again!

[TheOtherRipken]

Elias must have been in shock when he saw how poor our org middle infield depth was when he got here because all he does is sign and trade for middle infielders.  I don't disagree with his perception or his approach.

[HowAboutThat]

I have a Lotta respect for Jerry DiPoto, and I think he’s generally done very well with the Mariners, with a couple of glaring exceptions.

Smith for Gallardo?

Poor, Jerry...poor...

Picking up Wright?

ummmmmJerry......

better stock up on the glue. You picked the wrong week.

[Morgan423]

Is Dipoto okay after sustaining his concussion?  They didn't let him make any more trades after this, did they? 

[OsFanSinceThe80s]

If he does well his nickname must be Ogre.
