I'm especially excited about Julio Rodriguez and think that the pundits are probably underrating Kelenic's chances this season based on that awful, awful first half he had. 2021 was such a weird year in so many ways. Maybe this is pro-Mariner optimism but I'd start with his September rather than the whole year... dude BABIPed .109 in the first half, haha. But Kelenic being a league-average starter alone would be worth about 4 WAR compared to last year...
Overall though for a team that obviously overachieved last year I don't see people discounting them *too* hard, like they seem to be pegged in at around 85 wins instead of, like, 75, which is about where you'd put them if they were to do exactly what they did last year by Pythag. I feel like I'd be pretty happy with 85 wins TBH.
