Paxton...what an interesting prospect. He is unbelievable when he's on. Is his ceiling around a #2, especially considering he'll pitch in SEA?
And what are the thoughts on Zunino? I know there were some concerns after he did less than what was expected in college, but he's been unreal. His power seems very real and possibly more than expected. Can he be a middle of the order catcher?
In the near-future Mariners rotation he probably slots behind Felix Hernandez, Taijuan Walker, and Danny Hultzen, but that's not a slight against him -- probably more of a number three, with the upside of a two if he tightens up his command.
Zunino profiles as a middle-third hitter, but I still see him as more of a six-hole guy than a four or five.
