Seattle Mariners: Scott Servais has to prove it in 2021 or move on
Is Servais the answer?
Servais isn’t a terrible manager. This season he did okay with the organization’s quickly developing youth. Seattle’s winning percentage climbed by 30 points. Servais needs to go further in 2021. He has to show that he can be a winner, someone the new Seattle Mariner’s nucleus can count on.
This has to be the year where Servais is no longer mediocre and done with imperfect managerial practices. Is he going to make mistakes? Yes. Is he going to make the right choice every time? No, it’s impossible for him (or any of us) to make every right choice.
This young team has to show continued growth and flourish. They need to put MLB on notice that the Seattle Mariners will be a dominant team very soon. As for Servais, his job is simple, produce results.
Final note
Seattle Mariners fans deserve a winner’s mentality at the head of the team, a manager who demands, expects, and provides results. Those fans who were around in 1995 remember the pride felt from a young team that unseated the vaunted Yankees. That feeling was something that they’ll never forget and desperately want to experience again.
Servais needs to deliver that to the organization, or he can’t be the Seattle Mariners manager. His mission in 2021 is clear. Win more often than lose and make the M’s relevant. That buys a year, but only a year.
