Yeah, things are pretty bleak in the minors. Things they have going in their
favor though are the outfield has 3 rookies this year that played most of the games, so they have all of them for the next 4-5 years. Segura is under contract for the next 4-5 years. They have a bunch of OF that I think will contribute in the Majors and fit what Seattle wants to do, even if not all star type guys (Miller, Hannemann, Bishop, Lewis, Filia). Zunino is figuring things out. .280 with 11 HR since the all star break. Then consider his June Numbers along with that, he has been pretty good. Haniger should be a .280 25 HR type guy with good defense, and potential to be even better and borderline all star.

Where they really need help is in pitching, and it isn't coming from the Minors. Niedert is probably a year away and Moore doesn't seem to be better than a 5-6th type starter in MLB. Maybe Povse or Whalen can become a starter, but I'm not counting on it. Hopefully a few guys develop. Modesto has some guys with good stats, but none of them are highly rated.
