On today's episode of Lockdown Mariners, we're answering your questions for a weekly mailbag that you sent to us either on Twitter or via email at Lockdown Mariners at gmail.com.

If you like what you hear, give us a follow or subscribe wherever you listen to this. We greatly appreciate it.

So Colby, let's get into these questions here. Let's start with the one that we got via email from Tim says, Hey, guys, I just found your podcast a little bit ago, and I'm enjoying. Thanks. Thank you, Tim, for tuning. and in. And 10 continues here saying, so on your outfield episode on Thursday last week, and he sent this on December 20th, so he means two weeks ago. Colby mentioned, ideally he'd want Michael Conforto plus another outfielder to have the depth we need in the outfield to be a contender.

You both agreed. But even if we just got Conforto, that's him. Hanager, Lewis, and Kellnick to rotate three spots, plus we have Frazier's depth. especially if we sign story for second base then you have Julio who will be up this year potentially soon how can we sign two outfielders and have room to play all of these guys it just doesn't seem like a true area we can better our team save better defense at center field i know your response is but a contending team cannot rely on kelnick or lewis yet while that might be true we don't have that luxury because it's not how the mariners position themselves they spent this reveal banking on the future being kelnick and julio and if they don't pan out we lose no matter what so while we'll

we say we shouldn't need that it needs to rely on them we really have to am i making sense what am i missing here thanks guys tim colby yeah um so here's the problem with uh with that line of logic is uh what if Julio and Jared are both bad they're just not major leaguers is the entire rebuild over should they just stop trying no of course they shouldn't And that's kind of part of the problem was, well, you invested so much in your outfield that that's kind of how you have to, you have to roll with those guys. You don't. You don't. In fact, no rebuild ever has ever worked just using what you have in-house to make it work.

So you have to use assets to go get other assets who are outside your organization. So that's part of the problem. The other thing is, is that even if, right, even if we say, okay, we're going to count on Julio and Jared. Julio might not be up until May, June. But we're going to count on those two guys. Okay, that's fine. You need at least four outfielders, right, on a major league team. So let's just say you count on those two guys and they're good and they're fantastic.

You're going to trust Mitch Hanigar to stay healthy. You're going to trust Kyle Lewis to stay healthy. Both of those things. You're going to count on both of those things. It's just not going to happen. It's unrealistic to expect that. And you also have to understand that when Ty and I are saying, oh, you go get Conforto, you go get another guy. We're not necessarily talking about giving a guy a five-year contract, right?

We're talking about one or two-year deals. And these are guys that you can also trade if the time comes. So I've said this a lot. I'll continue to say it. You don't have depth until you actually have depth. Right now the Mariners have a bunch of guys who go stand in the major league outfield. Does that mean they're major leaguers? No.

The Mariners do not have outfield depth, not at the major league level. And so you can't rely on young guys to try and end this 21 year drought and not have backup plans. Right. And so when I say Ad Conforto and another guy hypothetically, right, let's just say it's Sayas Suzuki, just for the first name that came to mind. Right. In my outfield on any given day is, you know, Sayas Suzuki opening day outfit, let's say. Sayas Suzuki and left, you know, or Conforto and left. Kellnick and Center Conforta Suzuki, sorry, and Hanneger at DH Isn't that better than Hanager and Wright

You know Kelnick and center Relin love, Kelnick Senator, yeah Lewis, D.H. Isn't that better? So at some point you have to focus on wins right now and the Mariners are in a position where not only do they not need

Julio and Jared to pan out although I think both will. They can't afford to find out if that's the case. They won 90 games last year. There is no reset button on this thing. You have to go forward. And so the only way you can go forward is to ensure that you have these fail safes in place in case your two star guys that you're counting on don't perform.

So it's short term. We're talking about short term signings here. And also you have the DH. You have three outfield spots. There was over 6,000 plate appearances last year for the Mariners, and that was a below average offense. So there was below middle of the pack in terms of plate appearances. You have 6,000 plate appearances, at least to give out.

You can have five outfielders. I get pretty regular playing time without sacrificing anything. Yeah, I really disagree with the sentiment that if they don't pan out, we lose. I don't think that's the case. they didn't last year and the Mariners won 90 games yeah um yeah was a floy yeah you didn't you didn't even see julio keelnick was abysmal until september um it's just yeah you you you well like these are the top young guys in your system right that's not who you should be banking the whole um you know a viability of your of your of your rebuild around obviously

these two guys are a big part of that and you hope that they are eventually that they can eventually develop into you know faces of your franchise but it's like colby said you kind of have to keep moving here though you you know the show must go on whether these guys are good or not and odds are like even if they do end up becoming faces of your franchise that might not be for two three four years down the road and so right now like this year is what's most important, then 2023 will be what's most important, so on and so forth. And you will adapt and you will change your roster,

how you see fit. And right now, with you in a position to contend, you can't bank on a Julio Rodriguez to be good right away. You can't bank on a Jared Kellnick to be good right away. And you don't have to force them into your lineup. You don't have to force them onto your 26-man roster. right now either if they're not ready if they're not if they don't give you the best shot to contend if they are not one of the 26 best guys in your organization you don't need to force that issue

um and you should have you know you should explore all options to make sure that you're covered if that is the case if those guys are not ready to contribute for you so yeah i i you know i don't really see um I don't really see it from from your point of view, Tim, in the sense that they, like, they are the rebuild. Like, that is all that matters is Jared Kellanick and Julio Rodriguez. And it's not like you have a very deep farm system with plenty of other talents that could pop, potentially. You have all this money. And again, going back to the talent that you have in your farm system, you can also use that to trade for guys. that are you know that can potentially end up being a face of your franchise or what have you

there's uh yeah there's so many different avenues that you can go down with this and it doesn't have to be just mutually exclusive to Julio or Jared um and if right either one of those guys pops both of them pop another one of them pop it really doesn't matter you can still succeed you can still fail in this rebuild no matter what um because again like you even then like let's say that both of them are good you still got to build a team around them as well right and so you know you you could have a really good Julio Rodriguez you have a really good Jared Kellnick but if you don't have a team built around them as to compliment them you could still be bad so again I really don't agree with the sentiment that if they don't pan out we lose no matter what

and if they do pan out I don't think that it's just as simple as well you have fulfilled your rebuild. Right. It's too much pressure to put on any, any player. And Jerry Depoto has gone out of his way to make sure that that's not the case. There are tears and there are waves beyond waves coming up behind those guys that have both of them fail. And again, I don't think they are going to.

But if they do, there are safety nets there. And what Ty and I are talking about are making sure those safety nets are specifically helpful for the 2022 team. So beyond 20, 22, there are other safety nets there. There are other outfielders. There are potential trades that could be made. Um, but, uh, yeah. And honestly, Tim, this is really good question. We could probably do the whole show about this. Um, but we have, we have 11 other and we just spent like six minutes on this. So we got to, we got to cut this short. We just spent a whole segment on this. Yeah. We got to cut this

short. But it's a really good question, Tim. And honestly, like I said, we could probably do a whole show about, you know, the, the current state of the rebuild and all that stuff. So a good question. Unfortunately, we just now we have to get 11 more done in the next 15 minutes so we have to move on but well like I said we're probably going to have to answer some of these on tomorrow's show which is fine because yeah with the lockout we we don't really have many other topics to cover so that's okay but yeah so appreciate the question Tim we're going to move on in just a moment and answer more questions but real quick a reminder this episode of lockdown Mariners is brought to you by built bar it's the new year so that means new year's resolution

And if yours is about getting fit or eating healthier, make sure you include built bar in your plan. Built bar is the protein bar that tastes like a candy bar, maybe even better than a candy bar. You want to eat healthy, but it just gets so boring by like week three, you might be thinking, this is just not worth it. Where is the chocolate? Well, built bars are covered in 100% real chocolate. And most bell bars even contain 130 calories, 4 grams of sugar, four net carbs, and 17 grams of protein. Meanwhile, compare that to a candy bar, which usually has around 200,000. 40 calories, 30 grams of sugar, and dozens of net carbs.

Now, here's an idea for the new year. Go to all your secret treat stashes at home in the pantry, at the office, in the car, wherever. They're out all the sugar of your calorie-filled treats and replace them with built bars. So when you're craving a snack or treat, you can reach for something that's healthy and tastes incredible. And there's so many flavors to choose from. Coconut almond, peanut butter brownie, raspberry, cookies and cream, salted caramel, mint brownie, and many more. In fact, Built is always coming out with new limited time flavors.

You're listening to Lockdown Mariners. Thank you again for making us your first listen of the day, just like you do here every day. Thank you again to Tim for sending in that question. Like Colby said, we could spend the whole show talking about that.

But hopefully that was enough of an answer for you. And maybe that's something we'll revisit later on. But we got plenty of other questions to get into here. And we're going to move on to Twitter here now to answer the questions that you guys submitted yesterday to us. Let's start with a couple of questions that we got about Jeff McNeil that kind of go hand in hand with one another. One was from Daisy and the dingo at Daisy's dingoes. Would you still like to see the Mariners trade for Jeff McNeil? Not really an impact bet, but definitely makes your lineup longer and has positional versatility and is a cheaper option going forward than Fraser.

So who would the Mets ask for? And then the other question from Brian at APIR to be named. I have no idea what that is. Look, man, I'm sick. your name is messing with me right now it's a whole lot uh but uh brian asked uh should fans be excited for the addition of jeff mcneal not exactly the impact infielder fans we're hoping for so um yes uh fans should be excited about that because jep mcneal is a good player obviously coming off of a down year by his standards but still a good player and to answer daisy and the dingo's

question um yeah i would love that that that addition even with with brazier because I mean the more you can do right the the versatility that both of those players bring um is exciting um yeah you know Colby and I have talked about McNeil quite a bit he was in our offseason plan we still really like the idea of adding him especially if you're not able to land a story or a Bryant or someone like that and I think that's really what it comes down to right is if you don't land one of those guys guys, that's probably who you end up turning to. But I mean, you could even make it work here where Frazier ends up becoming your

super utility along with Abraham Toro and you get, you know, Story or Bryant to play third base or second base and McNeil plays whichever position one of those guys ends up not filling. Yeah. As for what the Mets would ask for, right now the report is a pitcher. What kind of pitcher? I have no idea. but Colby, you had a recommendation on a deal that you sent to me via DM the other day when the news of McNeil's availability came out.

Is that kind of where your head's at? And do you think that's actually something the Mets would do? Well, let's go back real quickly. I would dispute the claim that Jeff McNeil is not an impact bat. Okay. If you get the Jeff McNeil from 2018, 2019, and 2020, you get that, Jeff McNeil? He's the best hitter on your team. he's he's better than tie france um you know again last year at down year still 93 w rc plus

which isn't obviously it's below average but um it's significantly better than what the mariners got out of their second baseman last year prior to that w rc plus is for mcneal 136 144 131 slugging percentages those years 471 531 454 on base percentages all all in the 380s 80s. Batting average between 311 and 3.30, all three years. This guy's an impact bat. He can straight up hit. Does he have traditional home run power?

No, he's probably going to top out of 25 home runs. But he's going to hit a lot of doubles, you know, and he's going to make a lot of contact. He doesn't strike out at all. He walks a fair amount about league average and walks. So, yeah, I disagree with the notion that he's not an impact bat. Furthermore, it sounds like I meant. Yeah.

I just realize what Brian's Twitter handle is. It's a player to be named later. Oh, okay. My brain. My brain. Anyways, this will make CTCS fun. Yeah.

Anyway, so I dispute the idea that McNeil is not an impact bat. He is. He's a middle of the order bat, and he would be the best on the Mariners the minute he steps, you know, off the plane. Mm-hmm. As for what pitcher they want, it sounds like they're focused on starting pitching right now,

but you kind of look at who has the starting pitching to give. It's like, does Jeff McNeil make a lot of sense for the A's or the Reds? Not really. Not that he doesn't make any sense, but does he make a lot of sense for them? No, not really. Maybe you see him get traded for like Pablo Lopez. I think that's kind of a fun trade idea. But he'll be 30 years old.

Lopez is like 26. but assuming it let's just say that they're willing to not like it doesn't have to be a starter my thought was why don't the mariners go to the Mets and say hey look you could use some you know bullpen help you use you need pitching help period we have Diego Castillo who like Jeff McNeil coming off of a little bit of a down year but he's a pitcher he helps the back end of your bullpen and we're going to and we're going to toss on a pretty good prospect I don't know, maybe Levi Stout is a little too much, but obviously the Mariners have plenty of pitching prospects that they can offer.

And to me, would I do that? Yes, I would because, well, I like Castillo, and I don't think you saw him at his best last year. And hey, you know what? When you did see him at his best, it was really good. The Mariners have the bullpen already set up in place to pull that off. So do I think the Mets would do it? Probably not.

I think they'd probably hold out for a starting pitcher. And if it's if it's straight, you know, we need a starting pitcher. That means for the Mariners, it's either flexin or Marco, basically. And I just, I don't think I would feel comfortable doing that because now I have to go out and get another starting pitcher. So, but yeah, if they're willing to talk bullpen in a prospect, I am all over Jeff McNeil. There were reports that he apparently fell out of favor with a lot of teammates. He wasn't a fan of like the shifting and all that stuff. So that's something that has to be answered.

but it wouldn't be the first time that a guy leaves a situation he doesn't like and all of a sudden he's much more receptive to to you know these ideas. So that's on the Mariners to do their homework and figure out what's up, you know, in that scenario. But I am definitely interested in Jeff McNeil and I'd be pretty aggressive about it too. All right. So yeah, and I totally agree with that, by the way. Let's move on here to Ben Lukin, at Ben Luchin, who asks, Jerry has an express interest in a new catcher.

So who should our 22, 22 catcher be? I like Cal Raleigh's potential, but if we're going to compete, I'm not sure how much longer we can wait for him to develop. If Luis Trenz improves his defense, do you think he could be our starting catcher? I think it's going to be the same catching duo that you had this year,

Tom Murphy and Luis Trenz. That seems to be what the indication is. Do I necessarily agree that that's what it should be? Not really. But also the catching market is, is very thin right now, and you ultimately don't want to have to, you know, pay an arm and a leg for, you know, a one-year rental like a Wilson Contreras or anyone like that. But yeah, it's probably going to be Murphy and Terrence, which, I mean, you could do worse.

Murphy, solid defender, obviously coming off of a down year offensively, but if you can get somewhere close-ish to where he was in 2019, obviously, I don't know if that's repeatable. But if he can get somewhere close to that. And if Turenz can just at least be fine defensively the way that he was when he came over in that trade with the Padres in the second half of 2020, then you should be fine because the bat is legitimate. And I think if, you know, if you can get those two things to happen there, that duo of Trenz and Murphy can be pretty good for you. and then you add, you know, anything that you can get from Cal Raleigh on top of that, you're probably in a better position than most teams

at the catcher position. Mm-hmm. This is kind of why I was really interested in Jorge Alfaro, even though he hadn't hit. It is a bad class, and Jan Goams is already off the board. So, yeah, it's not a good catcher class. So you're probably rolling with what you have.

If the Mariners were to make a surprising move, it would probably be at the catcher position. But surprising moves would be like acquiring Sean Murphy or Carson Kelly. And neither of those seem likely at all. So I think you're just kind of rolling with what you have. You know, it would be nice if you can get 2019 Tom Murphy. But even if you got second half of 2021 Tom Murphy, that would still be, you know, better than what you got for the hole.

I think there's a chance to Mariners carry three catchers, assuming Luis Terence is still a catcher in their eyes. I know Kai hates Luis Terence, but the guy is a really good hitter, or at least he was last year. So I'm fine rolling with Terence for, you know, catching once a week, maybe twice a week if you have to, depending on how many off days there are and whatnot. So, yeah, I think you're just rolling with what you have, and you hope that either Terenz's defense takes a big step forward

or Cal Raleigh's bat takes a big step forward, and Tom Murphy can just kind of be what he was last year, which was, again, not great. I'm not trying to sell you that Tom Murphy was great last year, but he was at least respectable, and you stick him at the bottom of the lineup, and you take the occasional home run he hits, and, you know, the defense is pretty good along the line.

the way. So that's what I would do. All right. So we are going to try to answer as many more questions as we possibly can in the next segment. Real quick, reminder of this episode of Lockdown Mariners is brought to you by betonline.ag. Bet online has you covered this

All right, so we have a bunch of like smaller, kind of fun, really non-baseball questions here that you guys ask.

So we're going to get to those in this segment and what we like to call lightning around. You ready, Colby? Always. Oh, yeah, man. Lighting rounds always fun. Meolnier here. Ready for that lightning? Yep.

Which does a great lightning. can lift. He absolutely cannot. That is factually incorrect. By the way, Tom Murphy, just to wrap up, I know we've wrapped up the last segment already, but from May 22nd until the end of the year, Tom Murphy hit 232, 349, 369. That's what he is all of 2021. You're fine.

Actually, you're probably better than fine. Yeah. Yeah, remember, you know, keep in mind here that catchers not really great at offense league wide. So trade for Austinola. Like slightly average is pretty good.

If you have a catcher who's average or better in any one of the offensive like batting average on base or slugging, you're doing better than half the league at least. So,

all right. Let's start here with Ian at Sea Mariners 2001 who asks what parks outside of T-Mobile slash Safeco have you been to and which have been to? and which have been your favorite.

Colby. Have you been to any other works? Nope. I've only ever been to Team Mobile. So can't answer that question. I stood outside of the Anaheim Angel Stadium like 10 years ago, 20 years ago. It was garbage. I could tell from the outside even.

So, but that's it. I have been to like the two worst stadiums in a league like consensus, which is the Oakland Coliseum, gross. And Rogers Center, which is finally getting some, some improvements made. They're investing, I think it was like $350 million or something the report was. And yeah. And what they're going to be doing there at the Rogers Center because trust me, it needs it. That place is a glorified parking garage.

It does not feel like baseball on there. So which of those is my favorite? Neither. T-Mobile. T-Mobile is definitely my favorite, even though I haven't been there in like 12 years. Right. 13 years.

13 years, yes. That ends in 2022. It better. Figure it out. It should. It should. All right. Thank you, Ian.

Let's move on to Eli Seller. at Eli Sellers 24. Who is your favorite actor of all time? Oh, Colby. I mean, of all time, that's tough because there's different, you know, eras and different styles and stuff like that. Really, really like Andrew Garfield right now. I don't know.

Have you seen Tick, Tick, Boom yet? I haven't seen it, but I've seen clips. And it looks, his singing is phenomenal. Yeah, he's very talented dude. Yeah, it was great. Andrew Garfield is fantastic. You know, I, here's the thing with me is I'm not a big, like, actor guy.

Like, I don't go to movies because of the cast. You know what I mean? Like, it's not like, oh, Robert De Niro's in this. I'm going to go see the new Robert De Niro movie. I care more about the, like the story, right? And so the cast just happens to be the cast. So I'm not a big like, oh, this actor's in it. I got to go see it type of thing.

But I really, I tend to like pretty much every role. Andrew Garfield has played. I liked a Spider-Man. I liked him in Hacksaw Ridge. Tick-Tick Booms really good. Social Network. I thought he was really good in that, too. So he's way up there.

Benedict Cumberbatch is fantastic as well. But yeah, I'm not a big, like, you know, I'm not a huge, like, actor guy. So I can't even say, like, Robert De Niro or Idris Alba is pretty good. Yeah. I feel like he needs to be in more stuff, like more mainstream stuff, which sounds weird. but I think he does.

He was in the Suicide Squad, which I watched again last night. That was fantastic. I have not seen that. So, DC sucks. But, no,

it's probably Andrew Garfield right now, but, you know, again, asked me after the next movie I see, and I might have a different answer. That's how little I care about actors in general. But Andrew Garfield just seems to be really good at,

in everything that he's in. So I'll say him. Yeah, this might be a little bit of recency bias, but I love Will I'm, Foh. I think he's a fan. Well, it's not just

because of goblin though. It's not just because a goblet. Isn't it though? Even though his goblin and No Way Home is just incredible. Isn't it though? Yeah. He's one of the greatest character actors that I've seen.

The lighthouse, he's just incredible in the lighthouse. And that's one of my favorite movies that I watched as of late. Yeah, I just love Willem Defoe. So that would be my pick. Alex Ledbetter wants to know who's our favorite female superhero from any universe? Ooh.

That's a good one. It's cliche, but it's MCU Black Widow for me. There's a lot of depth. There's a lot of depth with that character. Yeah. I'm going to go Storm. That's a good one too. Yeah, yeah, that's a good one.

Or Seilock. Silo is dope, too. I like Scarlet Witch. Obviously, she's getting ready to take on a much bigger role. Wonder Woman, I'm, I like the, I like the origin and then like, you know, like, I think that that is a cool character. But the movies carry more than comic books for me. So, yeah, I just. I think she's been fine in the movies.

So I like Wonder Woman. But for me, it's Natasha Romanov, Black Widow, MCU version of Black Widow. Although I did, side-known, I did really like Gwen Stacy as Spider-Man into the Spider-Verse. I thought that was a really cool, like, thing. Yeah, same. Yeah, I like that question.

Thanks, Alex. And then Aidan wants to know, the famous meme, do we hear yanny or laurel i hear i hear lore yeah i hear laurel too but like i can hear the little like the high pitch frequency in the background that's saying yanny i can't hear that at all it's like straight really yeah not at all yeah if you if you tune your ear a little bit i don't know like if you listen i tried really close you can hear there's like well like you'll hear laurel but like you'll hear the deep laurel but there's like a little tiny like

high pitch frequency in the background going yanny yeah i think they're making that up well that's just i heard look look how different i am for this i did too and i think that was more of a look how different i am then oh no i can totally hear that so yeah but what do i know i don't have your ears what was what was the dress colby it was a blue and black or white and gold um actually kind of saw more of a blue and gold and and gold. It was definitely closer to white,

but it looked like periwinkle almost to me in gold. So yeah. I mostly saw blue and black, though there was one time and I swear it was so weird.

I actually saw white and gold. And then like I reopened the same exact image like five minutes later and it was blue and black again. Made no, they blew my mind. I still don't. I still don't understand that

how that works. That, just actually like that kind of mess with me honestly optical illusions man there are one heck of the thing so we have a bunch of other like great questions that you guys ask that we're going to get to on tomorrow show we have a question here from Jake asking about which minor league hitters in the mariner system could also have an impact in 2022 outside of Julio we have a question

from Cody asking about which cross or which number the prospects will wear. There's a bunch of stuff in here. So we're gonna. Yeah, exactly, because you can't remember which numbers most players have worn, which is why, you know, we would do that trivia Thursday every now and then. And I would try to get you to guess which numbers players were. I was so bad at that.

Yeah, yeah. It's honestly kind of shocking some of the things, some of the numbers that you didn't know. I just, I, I, I don't do numbers. I'm not good with faces either. So, yeah. Yeah. So yeah, so we're gonna, we're gonna turn that into tomorrow's show sheet, basically, because I think we have like four questions that we didn't get to, four or five questions that we didn't get to.

There's one about the rebrand for the Mariners, which is kind of interesting. So yeah, I'm, I'm really into doing that tomorrow and getting to those. and hopefully being able to spend some more time with those questions than we could have possibly done today. So hopefully you look forward to that if you had a question and we didn't answer it on today's show. Be sure to tune in tomorrow and we will absolutely get to them on there. But that's going to do it for our show today.
