To the other 4 people who watch mariners games, I think Nick Franklin is my Russell Wilson of baseball. As in he came in as a new guy, short in stature, and has shattered expectations. The future is bright for him.

He's had a nice start to his big league career. ... but as for your comparison id say that's more Kyle Seager than FranklinKitsapHawk":1q9kqfoy said:To the other 4 people who watch mariners games, I think Nick Franklin is my Russell Wilson of baseball.

Yep. Until a Mariner young pup has a great ENTIRE season I will not get my hopes up.

Not even then because that just means he is closer to signing with another team for a whole lot of money.
Sadly, this usually covers it.Chapow":2ro9329t said:Yep, if Franklin keeps this up, he'll be a Yankee within a couple years.
And Seager will be a Ranger.
But hey, at least the Mariners will get a couple of really highly rated prospects that will eventually turn out to be borderline poor/mediocre MLB players while Franklin and Seager go on to become All Stars.
That's just how the M's roll.
