Scouting the Minor League Leaderboard
My wife will tell you that I’m very quick to discard things. I think the most frightening show on television is Hoarders. Not The Walking Dead, or Game of Thrones, or ESPN’s First Take. I’m more terrified of a cluttered home than the zombie apocalypse, or White Walkers, or being

Shuffling The Deck: Kyle Seager
Dustin Ackley. Jesus Montero. Justin Smoak. Michael Saunders. This was supposed to be the nucleus of The Next Great Mariners Team. Ackley was a safe pick as a plus-bat second baseman out of college. Montero was the M’s’ No. 4 hitter of the future. Smoak would give them some much-need
