The strength of the system now clearly lies with its pitching, a fact that became even more pronounced when Seattle used the No. 2 overall pick in the draft on polished lefthander Danny Hultzen. In November, the Mariners hired Padres director of player personnel Chris Gwynn as farm director. Replacing Pedro Grifol, who now will manage the club’s high Class A High Desert affiliate, Gwynn will oversee the development of Hultzen, Taijuan Walker, James Paxton and Co.

1. Champions Table Posted: January 28, 2012 at 01:05 PM (#4048151)The Wilhelmsen story
Agreed. I keep hearing he is a #3 starter but very likely to make it. A low risk/reward guy but that's not what you should shooting for with that pick.
Was Jim Morris ever one of the Rays Top 10?
