Spectator,
There are 2 pitchers on the Generals who are on the disabled list, and with your buddy Leone seeming like he is handling the level alright (for the moment), what do you think is going to happen with the roster in Jackson? There are still Victor Sanchez, Tyler Pike and Landazuri waiting in the High Desert, and Jordan Shipers still out in the wings, with Sanchez, Pike, and Shipers all top ranked prospects. With that level of talent, are there still roster moves that need to be made to get these guys the experience they are going to need? After all, while a Carson Smith or Dominic Leone might have value somewhere, relievers are not really what are needed - you want to bring the starters along as you can. The bullpen guys may fit in somewhere, but are they really going to add to the overall quality of the team? With the trade deadlines approaching, do you start looking to see if there are any of the lower levels that can be used to get better value long term?
I'm sort of new at this, but I have been trying to follow along as best I can, and I am interested in the strategy of how to best utilize what seems to be a value a lot of people see in the Mariners minors...
