Seattle Mariners: Stock Up, Stock Down 5/16-22/22
Pitchers (stock up)
Marco Gonzales – Last week, I said depending on how his next start goes, he might be securing his claim as the team’s number two starting pitcher. Well, now I’m saying he’s giving the next player on this list a run for being the team’s number one starter. Pitching six innings, walking 3, striking out 2 for a 1.50 ERA, and a 1.33 WHIP earned him his 4th quality start and 2nd win on the season.
Logan Gilbert – To be the Seattle Mariners ace, you need to produce the goods. Gilbert did his best. Pitching 14 innings, giving up two home runs, walking 4, striking out 13, for a 3.86 ERA and 1.07 WHIP over two starts. While he didn’t get a win in either start, he pitched well enough to pick up two quality starts.
Quality start for Logan Gilbert who gives the Mariners 7 innings for a second straight start. Logan said after his last start that he knows the best pitchers in the league routinely go 7 innings. It's a big focus for him to be able to do that.

Stock Down (stock down)
Jesse Winker – Which former Cincinnati player has been better for the Seattle Mariners? That answer will come in another article later this week. For this week, Winker was a bum. Going 5/27, 1 double, 3 RBIs, one walk, and four strikeouts, for a measly .185 avg.
J.P. Crawford – Since Crawford missed a few games due to back spasms, he hasn’t been the same hitter. Maybe his back is still bothering him? Regardless, this past week he went 3/24, 2 runs, one double, one walk, and four strikeouts for a pitiful .125 avg.
Scott Servais mentioned he wanted JP Crawford to start getting back to spraying the ball over the field. Crawford with a single through the left side of the infield. Both hits today to that side of the field
