For those of you who can\u2019t read all the hundreds of comments in the links posts every day, we\u2019re hoping to isolate some of the most interesting conversations from the Moose Tracks and open them up to broader discussion, giving a little more space and time to issues that we feel especially deserve conversation. Yesterday, commenter USSDumper (an excellent username, indeed) posed this question:<\/p>\n
Who of the following players would help the Mariners most by putting up a 3-4 win season next year:<\/p>\n
I really enjoyed the conversation that stemmed from this prompt in the Moose Tracks, which gave me avenues to think about that I wouldn\u2019t have originally taken into consideration\u2014like the idea that a 3-4 win season from Colt Emerson not only helps the Mariners at a supposed position of weakness, but also potentially pays dividends down the line with an extra draft pick. My gut reaction, given yesterday\u2019s injury news about Logan Evans, is to pick stability in the rotation with Bryce Miller. But honestly, I can see an argument for any player on the list. It was such a good conversation that I felt it deserved better than being buried in a links post on a Friday morning.<\/p>\n
So, going forward, if this is something you\u2019re interested in\u2014even if not this particular prompt\u2014please participate here. Maybe we\u2019ll do this weekly, or semiweekly. In a time when authentic conversations are becoming less common in online spaces, we don\u2019t take our community for granted, and we want to give space for the organic ideas brought up by community members to grow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"For those of you who can\u2019t read all the hundreds of comments in the links posts every day,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":547488,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2392],"tags":[5,620,4,619,65,54376,3235],"class_list":["post-547487","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-seattle-mariners","tag-baseball","tag-mariners","tag-mlb","tag-seattle","tag-seattle-mariners","tag-seattle-mariners-analysis","tag-seattlemariners"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@mlb\/115989393419852500","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/547487","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=547487"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/547487\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/547488"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=547487"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=547487"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=547487"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
