The Mariners have announced they've signed their first round draft pick, catcher Jeff Clement, out of the University of Southern California.
The details of the contract have not been revealed. A press conference will be held today at 1 p.m. at Safeco Field.
I say assign him to the AquaSox today, then promote him to the big club to start tonight.
Yeah, that sounds about right.
thank god they didnt botch this pick. Let bring him up he cant be any worse than our current crop of crap
ReplyDeleteNow the "When the hell are the Mariners gonna sign this kid?" talk can finish. Gotta have patience, the most successful organizations build with a strong minor league system. That or $200 million dollars.
ReplyDeleteYes Travis I got the Almost Live reference. I always like the Ballard Driving School sketch.
ReplyDeleteHow long does it typically take a catching prospect to make it to the bigs?
I had heard that the fastest way to the bigs is being a catcher but I have no facts to back this up. But take Rivera he made it pretty fast.
