...the more I'm convinced that the 2014 Mariners look a lot like the 90's New York Yankers. In those years the Yankers brought up out of their system a young Bernie Williams ('91), Jorge Posada ('95), Derek Jeter ('95), Andy Pettitte ('95), and Mariano Rivera ('95), and supplemented them with some solid FA acquisitions and had a great run of success. Look at them now that they have tried to maintain that high level of performance strictly from the FA market. They are on the verge of a complete system reboot.
Anyway, it will be interesting to see how the rest of the team reacts to Cano, Hart, Morrison, and Bloomquist. Add in a vet FA starting pitcher, or Tanaka, and we could see something special in 2014.
