As long as Betancourt is ranked as a Top 3 defensive shortstop in the league and JJ Putz has some of the top stuff rating in the league, I'm happy.

Betancourt has been rated by most scouts as perhaps the best defender to come up since Vizquel, and he is more advanced than Vizquel was at his age.

Putz, since adding an unhittable 91-mph splitter, has been just that. And coupled with his 98+ fastball, he is as dominating a closer as there is. He's right up there with Ryan, Rivera, Nathan and the rest.

And ofcourse Felix, but you all know about him.

As far as the Mariners farm system is concerned, we are not the best there is, but we have some nice guys. Adam Jones, while still streaky and inconsistent, is potentially a gold glove CFer. He is the #2 prospect in our system.

The #1 guy is Jeff Clement, he is an average defensive catcher, but is improving and his bat can produce in the majors right now.

Chris Snelling is a guy who, despite having the ability to post a .330/.400/.500 or better line in the majors, has had unbelievable bad luck with injuries. He is coming back from an injury right now and should be in the majors after the break. He should be rated accordingly, and his stats this season are more or less irrelevant, because he is still not at 100%.

If you have any specific questions about the Ms farm system, I have a good source who might provide some info.
