Yeah, I mean

It's one of those things where projection systems can only go so far and every projection system is going to say that Cal Raleigh is going to have a level of regression from

Hitting sixty home runs as a catcher.

No projection system in its right mind is going to tell you that Cal Raleigh would do this.

Um, projection systems don't predict injuries like losing Brendan Donovan for a few months or Colt Emerson's wrist injury that really sapped his power for several months before he spoke up and said, Look, I've been dealing with this and

you know, I I need to go on the IL instead of down to the minors.

Projection systems are not probably going, you know, to tell you that Luke Rayleigh is going to have an elbow injury and be out.

So, you know, we only know what we know.

And, you know, it's sort of the corollary to the White Sox.

Of the White Sox Sox have a lot of guys who are hitting, you know, 75th to 90th percentile outcomes.

And the Mariners are a collection of guys who are hitting twenty-fifth percentile outcomes.

Josh Naylor has taken a big step back.

Julio Rodriguez for once started hot and then has slowed down.

Um, Randy Rosarrain has really been their one hitter who's been consistently really good all season.

Cole Young has been pretty good, but otherwise it's a lot of just sort of

grasping for whatever few positive performances they can get and

You know, the twenty twenty six American League is a really good league for them to be in and to potentially um show what they can be and come back.

But it's just a matter of a lot of guys taking a step back at the worst possible time for them.

Yeah, I mean Stan has been streaky for years on end.

Bellinger was really struggling even before he hurt his hamstring.
