Revisiting 20 questions for the 2020 Mariners at the halfway mark
Photo by Stephen Brashear/Getty ImagesFebruary 4, 2020, an article published on Lookout Landing. The title and premise was simple: 20 questions for the 2020 Mariners. An outline of goals, uncertainties, and concerns to frame the upcoming 162 games of rebuild central. By this time, we were supposed to be seeing Jarred Kelenic and Logan Gilbert get their flurry of firsts, seconds, and 34ths. Instead, a stunted, quarantined season unlike anything MLB has put together in the modern era.
For fun and frame of reference, I decided to go through the 20 questions Kate posed this spring and address them now, with the Mariners through 30 games of the 60-game sprint.
