Are exactly the sorts of players I would yell and scream about relying on if this were Bavasi's Mariners.
As Sandy likes to point out, the Mariners basically never improved a minor-leaguer on their watch.  Ibanez went to KC for finishing school, As-Cab and Choo to Cleveland, Dobbs and Morse were sent their separate ways...
Getting a toolsy guy was a death sentence.  We needed minor leaguers who could improve themselves.
With Peguero, Halman, Trayvon, Francisco and our latin hitters in the low minors though...I guess I have more hope that the Mariners can make more of them than the previous regime could.
Not a LOT of hope mind you... *laughs* but some.
Here's to good students meeting up with good teachers and learning a few crucial things.
