Notes:

Safeco hurts the above projections a bit.
The Ichiro projection is a somewhat educated guess that the system spit out. It seems real high but this is someone who was hitting for consistent averages virtually unprecedented in Japan. Who knows, but I guess I'd count him as an above average corner outfielder from jump street until further results come in.
Tom Lampkin is underrated and would be a good strong side platoon catcher.
Like the Indians, the Mariners would be well advised to start coming up with hitting prospects.
I think Chad Akers would make a decent utility player.
