Seattle Mariners Top 100 Prospects | 34 More (The Watch List) | Outfield
The first batch

Here commences our third annual prospect ranking of the Mariner system.  Since we’re at a new location now, we’re renaming it the “MB100″ and officially including “34 More” (the Watch List) in addition to the “Top 40″ and “26 in the Mix” (Spec66) from prior years.  Nice round numbers, and it rhymes.

Last year’s Watch List ended up being pretty interesting.  Of course, there were a lot of guys who were non-factors, but Yoervis Medina and Jesus Sucre ended up on the MLB roster, and Jabari Blash ended up making a “splash” with his power display in the minors.

Now, as it happens, this year’s outfield Watch List is mostly guys whose stock is falling.  It wasn’t planned that way, but that’s how the chips fell.

Then again, as it happens, Blash’s stock was falling last year when he ended up on the Watch List, and he managed to get it turned around.  And there might very well be a similar story this year.

So here are six outfielders who didn’t crack the Spec66, but are worth a (continued) look:
