What are you even talking about?
I never argued that Walker isn't a top prospect. He's got 80 grade power but he's not showing it yet. He's still young at 20 and it could come, it could also not come and his projected power is one of the big reasons he's ranked so high. That's why he is a
prospect.
Do you think Walker is some god among prospects here? There are multiple teams out there with a Walker level prospect at the top of their lists. We aren't talking about Guererro Jr. level guys here.
Walker has questions just like all of the questions DJ just brought up about other teams top guys. Again...
prospects. And there is a very valid argument to be made that a combo of Kirby + Marte is a better conversation starter than Carlson + Walker. The Mariners also have a bunch of very interesting guys that can be thrown into a deal with those 2. They could throw in another former top prospect, though struggling, in Kelenic and a guy that I would really like to see the Cubs target in a Contreras deal in Ford. With Dipoto calling the shots over there, I think the Mariners are a pretty solid contender to land Soto, if they wanted to seriously go after him.
