The Mariner Twitter mob have nothing on the villagers in the Frankenstein movie. They went after Souza because he agreed with a guy that questioned the wisdom of teaching sex ed to 5 year olds like he was Satan.
People are just dumb.

I gave the nod to JK. Top-five prospect and his career is already pretty much over. And YES, it is. Nobody starts off their career like this and recovers. Nobody. Ever.

At least Ackley had a good rookie season.

Chambers has numbers that a third of tonight's lineup would take in a heartbeat

I’d have to say it’s either Hultzen or Alex Jackson.

Is it fair to list Hultzen since everything was injury related? Yes. Especially considering he was the 2nd overall pick of that class and never made it to the bigs with the M’s and they they ended up releasing him. That one stings.

Alex Jackson was probably a reach at 6 for sure. But for someone who was thought of as being the best hitter in his class, he should’ve produced at least something with this team. All we got in return for him was a couple of scrub pitchers in Whalen and Povse. He’s flamed out with every team he’s been with. He sucks.

No Jeremy Reed? What about the Clement kid that was supposed to be a middle of the order bat at Catcher?
