We exchanged our individual plans back on Monday. Now we're going to get started today on. on our master plan, which we'll be presenting to you guys here on this show on Lockdown Mariners in about a week or two. So if you want to hear the early stages of us putting that all together, add on over to the Patreon. But today on Lockdown Mariners, we're handing out our season awards for the 2025 M's.

It'll be seven awards in total for the rookie of the year. Unsung Hero, the team, the best acquisition made either during the offseason or mid-season, Defender of the year, reliever of the year, starting pitcher of the year, and team MVP. And specifically on that one, and probably with a lot of these awards, don't think there will be that much debate. But we still want to honor some of these guys. So let's start with rookie of the year, Colby. We saw quite a few rookies come through Seattle. Logan Evans.

I think technically Carlos Vargas was still a rookie. It was still rookie eligible. And then Ben Williamson and Cole Young, which I think this award ultimately comes down to those two. I think I'm going to go Ben Williamson here, but we'd love to hear your thoughts on Young versus Williamson. You know, Williamson and Young certainly helped at times, and they, you know, provided some length of this lineup at times. But, you know, for the last, oh, I don't know, two, three weeks of both of their time. in Seattle. And for Cole Young, it was really, you know, he'd barely played in September.

So the last two weeks that he actually played regularly, really, really sucked, you know. And so it's a little tough to pick which one. I think I'd probably lean Ben Williamson just because he was a little bit more consistent at the plate. And obviously he had the one standout tool, the club, which, you know, basically won you a game against the A's. So, you know, Cole Young had a couple walkoff hits. He had some surprisingly, like, demolished home runs. Dude, yeah. Yeah, remember that one that went like $4.50 or whatever?

Yeah, you had one off to the left of the hit of here cafe or whatever it's called now. And then the one he hit against Detroit, I think it was off of Canley on the changeup. Just a mammoth shot. So definitely some positives for both of these guys. I still think Cole Young is going to be a very good, every day major leager. I think Ben Williamson is, you know, like if I was buying stock in the long-term future, one of these guys, Cole Young, all day, every day.

But Ben Williamson, I think, was just a little bit better this year, higher floor, a little more consistent. So I think, you know, just for rookie of the year, for what it is, Ben Williamson was a little bit better than Cole Young this year. So I think I'd probably have to lean towards Ben. Yeah, I mean, the offensive numbers pretty similar. Cole Young finished the year with an 80 WRC plus Ben Williamson finished with a 76

WRC plus obviously they did it in different ways Young like you said we kind of saw some surprising power out of his bat while Williamson he hit his first career home run in Toronto and that was the only home run he hit this year other than that

it was mostly like opposite field singles for him but of the two Williamson had the steadier tool which was his defense like you mentioned he helped win you a game against the with his glove specifically. And then he was rewarded with that by getting sent down to AAA because they traded for a.

you hitting O Swares like the next day. So yeah. But yeah, I would go with Williamson here just because the defense, I think, just gives them a slight edge over, over Young. And the difference in WRC Plus is negligible. Unsung hero of the team. I mean, we kind of swallowed it over the course of the year. We said this multiple times.

have we talked about it so much that he's no longer unsung maybe have we loved bizardo of the award that is rightfully his talk to him up so much in the last month because we've we've personally sung his praises a ton so he's not necessarily unsung anymore I don't know it's like everybody's like underrated movie is like you know parasite or whatever and you're like, that's not, no, that's not a thing anymore. Like, you don't get credit for that. Sure. So there are some other options here like Luis Castillo.

Yeah, that's really fit for this. Dom can't zone could obviously fit for this. I mean, someone like Jorge Polanco or Randy a Roserana, if you wanted to. I think they could also work for this, J.P. Crawford. But to me, it's still, it's still bizardo. I mean, Gabe Spire as well. Yeah. Gabe Spire was the second best left-hand release.

in the American League. Yeah. Behind future Hall of Famer and present scumbag, or old as Chapman. So that's pretty good. And, you know, maybe even not really utilized all that well, I would say,

by Dan. Not terribly, but like a few opportunities to face more righties, I think. But I get it. He's so good against lefties. I understand it. But yeah,

it feels like it's still bizardo, but I really do think Luis Castillo deserves a lot more credit here. There were so many people who just wanted to dump him this winter. And, you know, you never really do know. You couldn't have predicted that four-fifths of the Mariners starting rotation would spend significant time on the IL this year. But it happened.

And Luis Castillo made all 32 starts. And, you know, he certainly had his ups and his downs. And there were really good stretches. There were terrible stretches and everything in between. but he took the ball every five days. He gave you, you know, five, six, seven innings. He had a couple starts where he won you that game. He had a couple starts where he lost you that game.

And that's just kind of the way it was. And Castillo, you know, for all of his warts and all of his issues at the end of the year, you look up, solid pitcher, ERA in the threes, 175 innings, whatever it was this year. You know, and you trusted him, you know, for the most part. So I do think Castillo deserves a lot of praise here for this particular award. But it does feel like Bizarro, who also very much like Louise. People wanted to cut him. They didn't think he was any good anymore or ever in the case of Bizarro.

People were arguing to DFA him as late as like May. So for him to turn it on and become really an extremely underrated reliever. Again, unfortunately, it ended poorly for him. But, man, he was so good and he was nails. And, you know, this is when Matt Brash is still working his way back. This is when Dan Wilson's not exactly trusting Gabe Spire against Ritey's. You needed a guy to step up and he did. And he was all-star quality for 95% of this year.

And having to do it, by the way, being asked to throw three days in a row and being asked to cover two innings and all of this, having to cover a lot of different roles. And he was able to do it and do it pretty well. So yeah, I think ultimately it's still Bizarro, but I do want to give a huge shout out to Luis Castillo because he's definitely a strong candidate for this award. There's so many parallels between these two. Like again, like you mentioned, right, Brash coming back from Tommy John surgery. You know, you have Munoz inspired, but you don't really have anyone else that you trust in this bullpen. No one popped. They didn't get their Paul Seawald this year.

They're Colin Snyder, et cetera. and Bizarro was the stabilizer of the bullpen, I would say, and Luis Castillo was the stabilizer of the rotation when, you know, guys went down with injury, you know, George Kirby doesn't start the year in the rotation. Bryce Miller had a significantly down year. Logan Gilbert was obviously pitching through something and you missed him for about a month. Castillo was just a constant. And while, you know, he had down moments and Bizarro had down moments, they were so huge.

So honestly, I think this award should go to both of them. But yeah, Bizarro, I mean, he throws over 90 innings this year between the regular season and postseason. That's a lot. He gets used in 82 games as a reliever. That's a lot, especially for a guy, again, who some people didn't even want on this roster heading into the year. He wound up being a massive part of this.

and again, unfortunately, it ended on a sour note, but he was so huge and so many big moments of this season. He's one of the guys that I'm ultimately going to remember the most about this 2025 Marys Ball Club. All right. So we will continue handing out season awards. Up next is the best acquisition made either during the offseason or midseason, defender of the year, and more in just a moment.

But first, a reminder of this episode of the Lockdown, Ameris podcast is brought to you by prize picks. You and I make decisions every day, but on price picks, being right can get you paid.

And you're listening to the Locked-on Mariners podcast. We're handing out our season awards for the 2025 Mariners, just a rookie of the year and unsung hero now let's do best acquisition uh i think most people would vote for nailer i do think that hori polanco deserves a lot of love here though uh just because of how ridiculous of a season that he wound up having given you know just all the discourse around him this off season uh how disappointing last year was him dealing with the the knee issue and and all that last year. And again, just how, like, we talked about him coming into the season and what the plan

initially was for him to be, like, the third baseman, which was insane. And that lasted, like, five days, thankfully. But, yeah, like, he, he starts the year is the second best hitter in all of baseball for the first full month of the season behind, I think, Judge or Otney. Yeah. And he falls off a close. Cliff for a little while there for a couple months. And then, yeah, and then he,

and then he gets right back after it, midseason and just doesn't stop from that point of forward. Just really, really consistent for about three months for the rest of the regular season. And then postseason hero, he becomes a postseason hero, you know, has the walk off against the tigers, of course. That's what most people are going to remember. But he just had an amazing postseason in general.

But Josh Neeler, changed the makeup of this team, frankly, when he game over. He brought an attitude that they didn't really have before, and he put up some great numbers, obviously stole a ton of bases out of nowhere, started to find his power stroke a bit more. Also became a gold glove caliber first baseman seemingly overnight. This was so, so good defensively.

Just showed how incredibly smart of a base. baseball player he is and then he too like for a polanco had an amazing postseason didn't start out so amazing but you know we talked about this like he was having some good swings there in the first few games um and then you know once the kid was born yeah the birth of his child happens and then he went insane he had how many games did he have three hits in i think four or five that's a lot that was in nine games he had i think four multi-hit games i think four multi-hit games i think all four were three hit games too like yeah it was it was nuts the answer is josh nailer um polo a very strong second place yeah yeah it's it's close to me but again just the do you think about the

impact that that nailer made and um you know just how quickly he endeared himself to this fan base i mean is it too much to say he's already a mariner legend despite only being here for what two two and a half months. I think if he signs elsewhere this winter, I think there are people who would still consider Josh Naylor. Like when we do like our, you know, all-time mariner drafts that we like to do when there's nothing to talk about,

if we had enough people picking, Josh Naylor would be one of the three or four first basement taken. Like people like, John O'Rood, oh, you know, Alvin Davis. And then it'd be like, Josh Naylor. like oh okay and nobody would be like ugh yeah no that yeah so yes I think it's fair to say

you know Mariner legend and not mean it like when we say Mariner legend Sam Haggrey yeah like legit Mariner legend Josh Naylor no disrespect to Hamstagery though they should bring him back All right so Defender of the year

Julio right Ben Williamson Yeah It's definitely not Cal Cal was still really good this year But he just he wasn't Nowhere near as good as it was last year He wasn't platinum glove

Cal Raleigh Oracle glove But yeah Cal is still really good Yeah Yeah it kind of has to be Julio by default Like the Mariners defense Was not good

And Julio was clearly the best of the lot You know I guess you can make an argument for Josh Naler but he was only here for a third of the season. And it's first base defense. Yeah, it kind of has to be Julio. And then it's probably like Ben Williamson or Cal, like everybody else was below average or at best.

So yeah, it's Julio and then it's probably Cal because he just was here longer and catchers a little bit more difficult of a position than third than probably Ben Williamson. And hey, the Mariners might want to pay a little more attention. to their defense this off season just saying um yeah i thought this was julio's best year defensively which i feel like we say that every year which is just a testament to how much he's getting better out and so i don't know if the numbers will bear that out but uh yeah he's he's i feel like he has gotten better again i don't know if the numbers bear it out defensive metrics as we know are a bit yeah savant has this as his most like consistently good year um right he's had so he had uh he had uh

He was plus 11 and out above average for the second time in his career. But unlike the previous year where he was plus 11, which was 2023, his arm value was significantly better. He was 65th percentile in arm value this year, whereas in 2023 he was 16th percentile. Arm strength got even better this year, 95th percentile. That's the career high for him. So yeah, I think, you know, you can say by all accounts, it was his, you know, eye test, defensive metrics, all that. I think it was his best year defensively.

So I think he deserves the defender of the year, platinum glove of the club, whatever you want to call it. Yeah. Yeah, I think it's totally out with a bullet. All right. So we got a few more awards to hand out here, including reliever of the year, starting pitcher of the year, and team MVP.

Wow, I wonder who that will be. go over that in just a moment. But first, a reminder of this episode of the lockdown errors podcast is brought to you by Fandul.

We're going to wrap up handing out our season awards for the 2025 Mariner's here with Reliever of the Year, starting pitcher of the year, and team MVP, starting with reliever of the year. Kobe, we've given this to our unsung hero.

We given this to Andreas Munoz, just go in chalk or you got another name in mind, potentially? Yeah, it's Gabe Spire. I'm with you on that. This is a close, you know, a close discussion here. Munoz had a 1.9F war. Spire was at 1.7. while there's a sizable gap in ERA, almost a full run in favor of Munoz.

When you look at FIP, Spires is actually lower 243 to 231. He also has a lower X-FIP. Munoz is at 305. Spire at 283. Munoz stranded 60, sorry, 76.7% of runners on base. Sorry, Spire. stranded 76.9%. So basically the same amount, the strikeout rate.

Munoz had a 32% strikeout rate. Spire had a 33% strikeout rate. The walks, kind of a big difference here. Munoz is at 11% walk rate. Spire was at 4.5%. So, yeah, I mean, both guys spire through 62 innings, Munoz through 62 and a third. Like a lot of the numbers are basically interchange

The big difference here is the walk rate. And also, you know, Munoz basically only pitched the ninth. Spire had to pitch whenever the game was on the line before the ninth. And so I think, you know, when that doesn't mean that Munoz never pitched with a game on the line in the ninth. Of course he did. It's just pretty much every time Gabe Spire went out there, the game was on the line. Or there was a big swing that could have possibly happened. And he shoved.

I mean, really, Spire has had like how many bad outings can you remember from Gabe Spire this year? two most of them came in the postseason yeah which i mean it's kind of the same with bizardo so yeah uh yeah i think gave was just a little bit better he appeared in 76 games munoz appeared in 64 so yeah i i think i have to give it to to gab uh just barely munios is a really good you know runner up here and and i guess you can make the argument pretty strong argument that he should be the reliever of the year but i'm giving it to gab yeah i think i'm uh I'm giving it to Gabe for the reason that you just said that, like every time that he got put in,

he was probably facing, you know, either the team's best lefty or facing the heart of the, you know, team's order or whatever, right? Like, I feel like he got put into more pressurized situations

over the course of year than Andres Munoz did because of Dan's unwillingness to use Munoz outside of the, you know, obvious save situations or, um, you know, extra innings, right? Where, like, there wouldn't be a safe situation, you know, in the game.

It's just you got to use them at some point. That's not to say that Munoz never had to face, like, a team's best hitters or anything like that. Obviously, he did. And, you know, some of the biggest moments of the entire season. But I just felt like Dan wound up putting Spire in more uncomfortable situations than Munoz, which I think, well, maybe that's a little nitpicky. I think we kind of have to be nitpicky with how close both of these guys were in terms of the numbers.

I think the other thing, too, like you mentioned, like Gabe issued far fewer free passes than Munoz did this year. And that's a big part of being a reliever. You walk a bunch of guys. You're going to get yourself in trouble. And Gabe in general put himself in fewer dangerous situations. He was able to lower the home run rate this year. You know, that was a, that was the one like knock on him in 2023. We talked about how good he was in 2023.

But the home run ball did get him a little bit that year. This year, 7.9% home run to fly ball rate. That's totally fine. I thought he had a fantastic season. Mooney obviously had a fantastic season this year. But, yeah, I think if we're, you know, if we have to give the slight edge to someone here, I think it's actually Gabe Spire. Agreed.

Even though, again, I want to reiterate, because I know people are going to bring this up in the comments below, why are you complaining about Dan not going to his best guy if you don't think that Andreas Munoz is actually the best guy? Andreas Munoz is still the highest upside reliever in this bullpen. Still the most talented reliever in this bullpen. Also, you still do have to factor in match it. We just talked about how close these two pitchers are.

Okay, well, they're basically the same. statistically they were very close to identical, then yeah, you go with the matchup and do I want spire against Rydides or do I want Munoz against Rides? If three lefties were coming up, I probably won't spire in that situation. It was two righties and a lefty coming up,

so I would prefer Munoz in that situation. That's why. So, yeah, I mean, it's, these two guys are pretty close interchangeable. It's just when you're that close, it's all about the matchup. All right, starting pitcher of the year. I think this one is pretty clear cut.

It's Brian Wu here. And you know, you talk about the, what was it, 25 consecutive, um, starts where he, you know,

went six plus and only gave up three or fewer earned runs. Like, um, two walks too. Yeah. Yeah. Um, just he was so good.

This year he developed into a true number one. Maybe not an ace, like how we talk about, you know, Terrick Schuble and Paul Skeens, but he was a, he was the number one this year, which is pretty incredible when you know his story and the journey that he's gone on to to get to this point. Not only the, like, it was already such a roaring success for him to even just get to the majors and be a viable major league pitcher.

The fact that he is this good is something that I think could exceeding anyone's wildest imagination here. So yeah It's going to get Sayung votes Yeah Yeah And you know it gets an all-star nod this year And he had to be this good frankly For the MERS

Given you know again George Kirby starts the year on the IL Logan obviously goes down with the elbow thing Misses you know like six weeks or whatever it was And then when he comes back he's just not really the Logan Gilles that we know and love. Bryce obviously had a significantly down year. You know,

Wu had to be this good for the rotation to survive for the Mariners to survive this year. So yeah, I don't think it's even up for debate. It's Brian Wu is the start of the year. He's the Cy Young, whatever you want to call it for the Maris in 2025. All right. So MVP.

Obviously, it's Cal to do it's 65 homers. Yeah. Not only did he have an incredible regular season. And he was also one of the best players, hitters in the postseason in the entire league. And, you know, he finished the year with 65 combined home runs. It's more than anybody's ever hit in the American League when you, you know, factor in regular season and postseason. He was a well above average defensive catcher, just certainly not gold glove quality.

And we will never see this again from a catcher, including Cal Raleigh. So it's Cal. It's Cal. It's not close. Yeah. um, Julio is second. And then after that,

things get a little interesting. Because I think you could argue Josh Naylor might be top three or four. Like yeah. So yeah, but it's, it's Cal with, with, you know,

a bullet, I guess. I was trying to think of something clever to say, I don't have it. Yeah. No. Um, it was hard to think of clever things to say,

uh, about Cal Raleigh over the course of this year. Uh, just given how like, he just kept, doing it and we were just like, well, it's it's got to stop at some point, right? He's going to slow down at some point. And he just, he never, he never did.

And, you know, we talked about this over the course of the year. Like, we were running out of things to say, which is like how amazing it was. Because it just felt like there weren't enough words in the dictionary to properly describe, like how incredible, how insane this year was. Like, not only for, for a catcher to do this, just for for anyone to do this, specifically in, you know, Modern baseball, right? Like 65 home runs. And especially when you factor in that, you know, he caught, what, 133 games between the regular season and postseason? I, how am I even supposed to put that into English?

Like, it's nuts. More impressive, tie? What? I'm pretty sure he was 14 out of 15 in stolen base attempts. On top of everything else. He had, yeah, 14. No, he was 14 for 18, but still like that's crazy. That's still crazy.

Of everything else. He also stole 14 bags. Yeah. Like he answered every single question that we could have had about him. Like he raised the batting average. He started getting on base more. He lowered his K rate a bit this year as well. Yeah, he winds up slashing 247, 359, 5.

89 puts up a nine-win season. I remember, you know, we had a mailbag Monday during like the middle point of the season. And someone asked like, what do you think Cal's ceiling is? And I was like, well, I don't think he'll ever be like a seven, eight-win player. Whoops. And like again, like he just kept on hitting bombs. Like, you know, we got asked like, oh, where do you know, before the month of September, we were like, we got asked like, where do you think he's going to wind

up and we're like maybe 55. You know, maybe he'll break Mickey Mantle's record, but not break or 56. Maybe he'll break Mickey Mantle's record, but not Griffey's Marr's record. He broke all the records every single one of them. Except for the regular season, American League

Home Run record. That's it. It's the only one that would have won him, the MVP. I know he said that if he hit 60, he's definitely going to win, but he didn't hit 63. So clearly, clearly. Just got to continue to move the goalposts there. Although he did technically hit 65. yeah yeah which by the way the american league record postseason numbers should count because they're

real games i mean arguably the most real games yeah like because like i don't know part of me is like i i think it's the right decision to just because it is a regular season award and like well i'm just talking about career numbers and all that stuff oh yeah but i think you know they they kind of do but yeah i guess they they I mean like they keep track of them but like yeah yeah they it's just it gets put in a separate category but I mean right they're the realest games that you play it like they're the most high leverage games that anyone can possibly play in honestly this account as two home runs sure totally that's definitely what I just said yeah Cal hit 70 if you really think about it yeah I mean so yeah so you know he breaks the the catcher record he breaks the

most home runs while actually playing catcher. He breaks the switch hitter home run record. He breaks the Marra's record. He breaks the American League record between the regular season and postseason. Like again, I don't have actual words to properly

summarize the year that Cal Raleigh had. All while getting what, like three days off, four days off, full days off? If that, yeah. I remember two of them. I don't remember if there was a third or four. Yeah, the Bears went 2 and O in those games.

So is he really the MVP? Right, right. So, yeah, it's Cal and, you know, it's hopefully it gets paid off with a, you know, an actual MVP, you know, win for him since he couldn't get paid off in a World Series appearance or title. But, yeah, it's certainly one to remember. And it's certainly one that we'll be talking about for a long. long time. Plus, like, it's not just the numbers, right? It's also like all the other things that came along with it, like winning the derby and all like the MVP type of moments that Cal had. We're like, you know, crowds chanting MVP. He's going up against Griffin Jacks.

You know, the Mariners need a big home run in that situation. And he delivers, you know, fans are on their feet and a blowout game in which the mayors are about to win their first AOS title in 24 years against the freaking Rockies on whatever it was a Tuesday night or whatever and they're all like waiting to see home run number 60.
