.289/.313/.525, 5 HR, 17 RBI.  That seems like a very Mountcastle-ish stat line.   Hopefully he’s over his early season slump even if his season totals aren’t in line just yet.

Wait.  There's a stat about BACON?  My XWOBACON is over 1.000, I'm sure.

Just in time for the incoming 20-game win streak. Good to see RMC hitting the ball better.

Seems like Cedric’s .600/.667/1.083/1.750 slash line would’ve been the winner. 

.542/.607/1.083 (includes Monday of last week), while making several highlight reel catches in centerfield.

I guess the 4th home run and the 10 RBI compared to 4 made the difference.

Oh I didn’t include Monday. Still GG defense in CF >> DH.

Rookie of Year futures looking better with OPS up to tie with Arozarena, and Kelenic back to AAA today.

Obviously Seattle should have had Kelenic earn AAA MVP and then refine skill at a new position some of next year too.    Then maybe he could have come up without having to go back down.

Kelenic becomes the latest phenom prospect to come up and have a brutal start in the bigs. And yet there will continue to be those who don't see any grey area in the development/service time games debate.

Is there any evidence that struggles like his inhibit development?

Going 0-40 probably isn’t good for a young player. But also, it wasn’t good for the big league club either. That’s the point. It’s not guaranteed to be positive for the player or the team. When some teams are very careful with promoting their prospects it doesn’t always mean they are manipulating his clock. You only like to show one side of what is a very complex situation.

You are aware that the Mariners offered him a long term deal and he turned it down right?

Yeah.....and? Everyone piled on the Mariners for not promoting Kelenic last year. He says he wasn’t because he turned down their offer. The GM said he wasn’t ready for the majors in any event. The owner essentially admitted to manipulating his clock. Then he finally gets to the majors this year and is literally unplayable making the whole thing even more confusing. My point is, this one example shows how complex this situation is in baseball. There’s grey area here.

Every bit as much as the evidence that struggles like his do not...Every move is not about a teams clock.

Yes they offered him a long term deal.  Yes he turned it down.

The Mariners were lambasted for not bringing him up last year.  GM said he wasn't ready.

Brought him up as the #4 prospect in all of baseball.  And he has flopped.

0-39 before being sent down.  This is not about keeping him from being a super 2.  

Here is a very nice article from Seattle Times:

The kid is super talented.  Hope he is back soon.

      Elias: It's on me

      By Pickles · Posted

      I'm lost for words about why Rutschman struggled, other than as I've long said he's a catcher and you're not going to get a MOO monster bat playing 110 games behind the plate- but the overall outcome of the team was within what I thought was reasonable, if a bit on the low end. Regarding the depth, Holliday and Mayo are more talented than Urias, but if we had gotten rid of Urias, Mateo, and Mountcastle to hand them spots, this team would have been worse for it, and maybe not even make the playoffs. Urias is good.  Mountcastle is good.  They're not "everyday" players according to your definition, but we have exactly one of those guys.  That doesn't mean every one else is " not good." I wouldn't be surprised to see all three back next year.  I wouldn't be surprised if they moved on from 2-3 of them.  Though I think the former is far wiser than the latter, though it depends on a lot of other things.

      Meh that’s fair.

      My post is coming off the wrong way.  The OP I quoted seemed like you were “lost for words” about why the team struggled the way they did. All I’m saying is I think you are like that because you didn’t see the scenarios where this much of a drop off from last year was going to happen. And btw, the depth (to me at least) wasn’t a good thing.  Depth is good when the players are good. If not, they are just guys blocking better talent.

      But we have no idea who told her or of the info is good. She has given no reason to believe her. Im sure someone told her something but im not sure she smart enough to be able to tell the difference between good info and bad info.

      I'm a big fan.  It doesn't mean I have sources in the clubhouse. Do we have any idea who her sources are?  Does she have any kind of track record of having reliable sources?

      I don't know who this woman is and I don't do Twitter. And this is what I touched on in the other thread: I don't know what the best path forward is b/c I don't know exactly what the problem is. I don't think Hyde needs to go, but if this is true- and I have no idea if it is or not- he should be gone. The talk of veteran leaders brings questions.  What was insufficient of the leadership of Satandaner, Mullins, Burnes, and Kimbrel?

      Sig for me is notably rigorous trying to combat this.    I feel pretty sure he had a say in crafting his very geeky title, a reflection of his personal brand. We'll see how it goes here if it becomes recommending Adam Frazier and Kyle Gibson as correct for the roster once again.
