Not enough. Thought Emerson should be going with them to ARK and Celesten should be moving up to Everett

Emerson has been hitting a lot better but not long enough to warrant a promotion and not enough pro PA to move to AA. Celesten only has a .715 OPS and has been injured a lot too. It is good that they are being consistent and not giving some guys preferential promotions despite different situations and results.

That's fine. Celesten has hit essentially .300 the whole season. He's too good for low A and Emerson is doing enough to warrant a promotion. No need to quibble over shit

It was a rare opp for me to agree with the FO. lol I have to take those so I don't look completely biased.

I came across this interesting writeup of Luis Suisbel along with some other non-Mariners prospects. He apparently was interning with the M's player development staff during spring training but other than that I have no idea what his qualifications are. But regardless, I think it's worth reading as sort of an outsider perspective on an under the radar prospect that doesn't project as a star but might be more than we think he is.

Here's the writeup on Suisbel.

Luis Suisbel SEA – 3B S/R (22) A+

Hit: 45 | PD/PR: 50 | Power (in-game): 55 | Power (raw): 60 | Run: 45 | Arm: 60 | Field: 50 | OVR: 50

On a backfield with the likes of Colt Emerson, Lazaro Montes, and Michael Arroyo (three of the top prospects in the Seattle system), the first player I noticed was Suisbel. With an easily plus arm and decent range, Suisbel will be a third baseman for the foreseeable future. It took me by surprise to see him play SS in one backfield game, but he more than held his own at the position, something that others and I were surprised to see and represents a notable step forward from where he was last year defensively. Like with most young players, he will have to improve his plate discipline and pitch recognition as he continues to move through the minor league ranks and face more challenging and experienced pitchers. However, Suisbel has made progress in that regard. So far in High-A Everett this year, Suisbel is sporting a lower K% (24.7% vs. 27.4%) and a higher BB% (13% vs. 9.4%) than he did in Low-A Modesto last year. He has been especially impressive over his last 30 games, posting a .400 on-base while slugging .558 (includes a .289 ISO supported by 8 home runs). His plus raw power will continue to play in game so long as he keeps making progress with his plate approach. I fully expect to see Suisbel in the majors one day, and he excites me more than most on this list because of the ability he has shown to improve his game year-after-year and make in-season adjustments to get the most out of himself. This is a quality that is required of all major leaguers, and it is impressive to see such a young player already possess this trait.

Yeah I noticed he's been raking and we kind of need a third baseman don't we

Him and Batista need to move up as well. I suspect they will after the draft

[D-train]

No adjustment. To AA required for the dynamic duo. Both with over at 1000 OPS. Laz with a tape measure bomb

i guess ya'll know by now, but Harry Ford was called up this afternoon since Garver was hurt today. me, the wife and some friends back home in Arkansas have been in Round Rock, TX this week to watch the Rainers. we were talking to Harry before the game and after a bit, he went down to the bullpen to work Lawrence. not 5 minutes later, one of the coaches (not sure which one) ran down and told Harry. then he goes running back by, and says bye with a big smile.

on a side note, i had no idea Rylan Thomas had it in him to get thrown out of a game like that, but he was 100% right and the ump was 100% wrong.

Officially added to travel roster in case Garver has to go to IL

The options are there, though. Cole is laying a claim to 2b and if he's not dealt and you subsequently hold onto Michael Arroyo (as you damn well better!) than what to do? Arroyo has to move to 3b. or ss until Celesten or Emerson is ready.
