Seattle Mariners: Six M’s land on FanGraphs’ top prospects list
As the 2019 season grows closer, we’re starting to see a shift in mentality towards a Mariners farm system once thought of as the worst in baseball.
Today, FanGraphs have unveiled their top prospects list for the upcoming season. Instead of going the traditional route of a top 100 list, FanGraphs assigns a numbered rank to each player with a 50 future value grade or higher.
In this year’s case, FanGraphs’ list comes in at 132, and six of those spots belong to current Mariners prospects. Shed Long, Seattle’s most recent acquisition, checks in at the final spot on the list at #132, also earning recognition as the 11th best second base prospect in the game.
