A little news for Clinton

On Saturday, Lookout Landing and USS Mariner hosted a meetup for their readers and members of the Seattle Mariner Front Office. It lasted three and a half hours.

USS Mariner has a bit of a recap here.

Here is the news for our friends in Clinton from their new parent club.

Draft: draft the best guys. College/high school, pitcher/hitter, doesn’t matter. I asked about Bavasi’s “two sets of eyes on every prospect” and the massive investment in infrastructure the team’s made during his time. They’re pro-that.

On this draft: they didn’t say much. No hand-tipping.

...

Player dev: sounds like it’s going to slow a little, and the push-until-dramatic-failure philosophy’s been at least relaxed. On position switches: as much as possible, they don’t want to move someone until it’s clear that they’ll be switching to the position they’ll be at long-term

Sounds like it was an interesting Saturday in Seattle.
