Poll: most disappointing Mariners prospect
I know it's still early for some of them, but recency bias matters. 

Re: Poll: most disappointing Mariners prospect
Ackley was a college player picked 2nd overall. He should have at least been a solid starter. Kelenic has been disappointing, but there is more risk with HS players.

The main frustration with White of course being the money he's getting paid. Montero was touted as the next great Yankee slugger or some such nonsense that only seems to work on Mariner GMs. And Smoak was highly regarded in the Rangers organization, why i don't know.

I started following the Mariners in the early 80's and don't remember him. I'm sure i forgot some other guys though. How about that 6'10" pitcher that was being touted as another Randy Johnson then got injured and never did anything.Donn Beach wrote: ↑Tue May 24, 2022 3:05 pmAl Chambers was pretty disappointing, how's that for recency bias

Tito Nanni was the 6th overall pick in 1978 and NEVER made the show. I actually think he is the worst of all time.
JK was the 6th overall pick in 2018, 40 years later. At least he made it.

As a mariners fan you should get familiar with Cha Cha, chambers has the distinction of being considered one of the worse picks in MLB history
