I'm in the beginning stages of a piece that takes a look at what might be the underlying cause of the poor performance we are seeing from the Mariners minor league affiliates. I did a wide spread poll of my "contacts" and some of the responses that I have received has been interesting to say the least.
I have learned, without giving too much away, that the problems vary with each affiliate. One though is troubling. Let me just say that there is a reason why Tenbrink and Poythress aren't performing up to what we expet them to do, and it is partially out of their hands.
I hope to have my piece written up and posted at Mariner Central within the next few weeks.
