Seattle Mariners: Stock Up, Stock Down 5/9-15/22
Each week, PNWS evaluates the Seattle Mariners players. We’ll feature those who are playing well and those who are not playing well. This is the stock report for May 9-15, 2022.
Every week PNWS provides their evaluation of the Seattle Mariners, whose play is good (stock up) and not so good (stock down), based on their last seven days of performances. We’ll add what insight we can provide or have learned. Here we go looking back at the week of 5/9-5/15.
Hitters (Stock Up)
Julio Rodriguez – THIS is what we all expected. JRod went 9 for 23, scoring 2 runs and walking twice, 1 double and 1 home run, 4 RBI, and striking out 9 times for a .391 average and 1.005 OPS. He’s tied for the MLB lead in steals with 10. His future is scalding hot!
Jesse Winker – M’s fans, you’re welcome. Obviously, Winker read this article last week, and he made the stock down section. So, this week decided to repeat his appearance but in a positive manner. Winker was 8 for 23, scoring 3 runs, 1 double, 1 home run, 4 RBI, 2 walks, and 5 strikeouts for a .348 average and .922 OPS. This is more of the expectation for Winker.
Adam Frazier – It’s not uncommon for a player to get off to a slow start when playing with a new team. Frazier is finally showing everyone exactly why GM Jerry Dipoto wanted to acquire Frazier. He went 7 for 21, scoring 2 runs and striking out twice. He also had 3 doubles and walked 3 times, for a .333 average and a .893 OPS.
