I take it you've changed your mind since 2004, then, when you wanted to rank Tui as the #1 Ms prospect the week after he was drafted, simply because Lee P. comped him to Griffey?
If so, I agree with you. :) Taijuan Walker isn't my #4 in the Ms org either. You know me - I prefer a track record rather than using other people's guesswork as a substitute for my own.
I think Peguero is more likely to be a top find than Tui was, though, and I'd rate him higher than Littlewood based on what I've seen of both of their swings. It's like grading a 50 foot mural off a picture the size of a postage stamp, but when it's the offseason and you're bored, what's a guy to do?
And if he isn't better and flops as a prospect, then we still have Castillo who was ranked #6 or so among Latin prospects this year, as well as some arms. That Choi kid is coming along, trying to be the next Choo, but in the infield. Morla has interesting qualities.
The international scouts are trying to earn their money under Jack - or at least spend his money.
There are worse ways to help the Mariners recover than flooding the minors with as much talent as we can get our grubby little mitts on.
