Sonny_D 1,991 Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Paxton out with left elbow discomfort. If you haven’t already, now is the time to pick up and stash this kid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you haven’t already, now is the time to pick up and stash this kid. Well the Mariners had a 6 man rotation. I could see them going with the standard 5 to save on Gilbert's service time and even arbitration which, if they do the latter, could push things into the June call-ups time. But yeah in dynasty leagues Gilbert was long gone before this season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ST. STEVEN 5,154 Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 This will get interesting...they can wait him out a few weeks yet but should be an option soon thereafter. Pax getting a 2nd opinion on his elbow, which is almost always bad news. The 5 man, as it is currently constituted, isn't exactly enthralling. Dunn has found some extra ticks but can not seem to control it whatsoever. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brockpapersizer 12,796 Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 He will likely be up when the extra year kicks in end of the month or whenever. Kelenic would be their best hitter right now and he’s in the minors. They are being very obvious about it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GratefulPhan 78 Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Paxton done for the year...must add? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asprilla 55 Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Not a must add but certainly a potential contributor in the second half. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ST. STEVEN 5,154 Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 FYI, From CBS: Mariners' Logan Gilbert: Not candidate to replace Paxton Gilbert is still projected to make his major-league debut in 2021, but the Mariners plan on him logging the bulk of his innings in the second half of the campaign despite the rotation vacancy created by James Paxton's season-ending elbow injury, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports. Manager Scott Servais noted Wednesday that the organization will be careful with all of its minor-league arms, especially those on the cusp of the majors, after they went without pitching in official games all of 2020. As it pertains to Gilbert specifically, the Mariners are interested in the 23-year-old finishing out the season at the big-league level as opposed deploying him at the front end of the campaign and then shutting him down early because he reaches his innings limit.

nittanychris 185 Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Marco Gonzales just hit the IL also. Will Seattle give this kid a shot? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dave8809 10 Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 Any chance with the injury to Newsome they give Gilbert a look or do they just roll with Swanson?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ST. STEVEN 5,154 Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 As Brock has stated, SEA is being very obvious about what they are up to. I would not expect a call up to the 2nd or 3rd week in June. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
herschel 2,133 Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 Mariners' Logan Gilbert: Callup imminent 2 hrs ago | Gilbert will be called up by the Mariners to start Thursday's game against Cleveland, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports. Gilbert will make his major-league debut after he made just one appearance for Triple-A Tacoma to begin the season. During that outing, he gave up a run on four hits and no walks while striking out five in five innings. Assuming he pitches well Thursday, Gilbert could remain in the Mariners' six-man rotation going forward, especially while Marco Gonzales (forearm), Nick Margevicius (shoulder) and Ljay Newsome (elbow) are sidelined.

dave8809 10 Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Doesn't he have a plus change?? He hasn't thrown one since he's been called up. He needs another offering for an out pitch. He's not getting the whiffs with the slider. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I agree, and unless something is being kept from us I think we will start seeing him use it in the near future. Buy low opportunity. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
