I'm new to leverage stats as they apply to baseball.  Are they adjusted to league averages for the situation?  It occurs to me that some high leverage situations may be more or less likely to result in a hit/BB due to a faltering pitcher or platoon advantaged relief.

I don't honestly know.  I've never bothered to look under the hood for that one.

Mountcastle will not regain value at AAA. I think his future here doesn’t look too bright but for this year he stays. 

This year is about making the playoffs and getting as far as possible.  Maximizing Mountcastle’s trade value is trivial compared to that.

Agreed.

Santander or Hays in a deal for a Mariners starter with Kjerstad replacing them is more appealing to me.

On the bright side the numbers aren't bad at all. 

The only objection I have to him being on the team is that I think another team could better utilize him.  I think he's a starter somewhere.

I think he's likely to be traded if another team values him like a starter.  If another team values him as a utility player, Elias will likely hang onto him.

The lineup 1-9 is really good and has a ton of flexibility. I think fans underrate how big it is that Adley, Santander, and Hicks, are all SH.
