Fantasy baseball: 2020 Seattle Mariners fantasy preview
By Mike Marteny
30 teams in 60 days of quarantine: Seattle Mariners fantasy preview
This series of fantasy baseball articles was intended to be something to pass the 30 days without DFS. Well, it looks like the wait may be longer for my fortes, the NBA and MLB. I’m staggering these to last us 60 days without DFS now. At least it gives you a little something!
Most of you, like me, have played DFS for quite some time. We have never seen anything like this before. A bare lobby. No upcoming contests. E-Sports touts are in hog heaven. Even most DFS touts are trying to become E-Sports touts. It’s nuts!
Most of you, also like me, still play season-long fantasy baseball. Some for money. Some not. Some just because it’s the only interaction you have with some friends anymore. Whatever the case, we can use this break in DFS to get us polished up for our fantasy baseball drafts, whenever those may be. We started at the bottom and are slowly moving up. The Seattle Mariners were 25th in wins last year with 68.
The Mariners are coming into the season without King Felix for the first time since 2004. It’s the beginning of another era, but it could be a long road for the Mariners. A lot of the top prospects at the plate are already here. What about the mound guys?
There are quite a few fantasy-worthy players on this team. The key is not overpaying or trying to get them at a value. You can’t win your season in the middle rounds, but you can sure lose it there.
Here we will examine the Seattle Mariners projected lineup and rotation, and who to draft and in what general spot. We will also take a look at prospects that could make their debuts and have a fantasy impact in 2020. The 2019 stats are in parentheses. Let’s get started!
