Strangely a majority of Cruz' homers are on the road I believe.

Whats also crazy is we were close to having another shot at Trout later in the draft but he went two picks before and we grabbed FranklinAckley instead of Trout, oh my lawd we suck at finding superstars. I can't excuse Clement over Tulo either, considering we signed Joh to play catcher months later.![]()

Alex Jackson is the name I keep seeing, Catcher in HS but projects to be a Corner OF.Whats also crazy is we were close to having another shot at Trout later in the draft but he went two picks before and we grabbed Franklin![]()

Jackson is regarded as the best hitter in the draft with the highest upside, and you'll see mostly rave reviews for this pick. This isn't like past years where the Mariners may have reached for a guy -- JJ Cooper of Baseball America notes that Jackson could have easily gone 1-2-3 if the draft had played out a little different. Jackson is an elite, blue chip prospect who will immediately shoot to around, if not the top of Mariner prospect lists.
Let's choose to be excited about this one. Unlike several players hovering around the top of this draft, Jackson has superstar upside. For the first time in a while, the Mariners have an exciting prep slugger in their system who can be anything and everything. Prep players don't have their future already written the way some college players do. Aaron Nola, selected one pick later at #7, is already capped at a #4 starter, if you listen to the experts. There's no such ceiling for Jackson, at least not yet. That's exciting.
