In which we celebrate the Jackson Generals and welcome a few newcomers
It's been a busy, but thoroughly positive week for the Seattle Mariners' farm system. For starters, the organization added Mercer OF Kyle Lewis with their first pick in the draft. Lewis is an exciting player, the kind who demands checking of the daily box scores and video dumps from twitter accounts of fans who happened to have their cell phone video recorder rolling during that one at-bat where he did that crazy thing.
The Mariners also picked up 39 other players and I'm sure you'll get to know lots more about them in the coming weeks as the Everett AquaSox and AZL Mariners open play.
