I seem to recall being shocked by some heavy scouting-based offensive expectations after Betancourt was already in the majors, but perhaps those came from the forums.
Smoak was an 11th overall pick, traded for Cliff Lee, and rated the #13 prospect in baseball. I'm not going to give any more credit on him than I'd discredit for Jeremy Reed.
In retrospect, you and Gmoney were definitely early on Michael Pineda, so he gets bumped up to the "big wins" category.
The OFTers/bloggers were going against the consensus arguing against Randy Johnson and Ichiro. Definitely a "big miss" for them.
This list was limited to fan/hope-based Mariner calls. Thought that was pretty clear from line one. I'd say the non-Mariner calls speak for themselves.
You did have me by 5 points in the 20-team matchup - after publically conceding defeat before the first pitch. :)
