    It's the "Prospect Promotion Incentive" they added last year. A player has to start the season in the majors and have been ranked in the top 100 lists from 2 of ESPN/BA/MLB. The Mariners got the 29th pick for JRod winning last year.

    Right now it looks like Miller will get the Mariners another pick, but it should be a fun race

    If it was McCormick at DH and Diaz catching - and then they scored two runs - we would have no case. This lineup is 78% correct.

    also, not a lot of folks here remember he's an avg ball player and sometimes slightly below avg ball player.

    He has a career OPS of .855 with runners in scoring position, and he has over a .400 BA and OPS over 1.000 with runners at 1B and 3B specifically. If that's failing frequently to you, then I guess he does. Plus, as mentioned, he should have walked.

    1 run is fine as long as he keep it at 1.

    offense needs to score at least 5 to give the defense a good chance to win.
