Not bad for a guy who "hasn't proven a thing"

Get better kid, we need you for the stretch run! I'm so proud this guy is the face of this franchise.

"Hasn't proven a thing" was accurate...in March.

Well earned award for Julio. Like you, I hope he heals well, and soon. He'll be eligible Mon or Tue IIRC. A Game or two before the playoffs to warm up, then let's go for it!

I always loved that comment. People complain that the "Mariners never spend money" or "never keep their superstars"
Then they do, and some complain. So good...........

I still feel like the organization was trolling me when it offered Robinson Cano that contract. I was like, "wait, now you finally want to spend stupid money on a second baseman?"

Well, that was several years ago so.........

His new contract is heavily based on shit like this. He's gonna get expensive.

Seriously, kid is a phenom and I'm glad he's on our team. Let's hope we can keep it together and add some pieces to get us over the top and into the Series.

Well deserved. This kid's gonna be fun to watch for a decade+.
