First, the latest on TANKATHON2020: after falling to 7th position last week, getting swept by the Yankees has slid the Mariners back into 6th position for now. The Blue Jays, one slot below (above?) the Mariners, have the Astros and Braves up next, but the Pirates, one slot behind (ahead of?) the Mariners, have a flailing Rockies team followed by the hapless Marlins, so it seems like things will hold steady for now.
This is the 10th installment in this series and we still have plenty of interesting names to go, so it seems like it won’t much matter if it’s the fifth or sixth or seventh slot; somebody fun is going to become a Mariner in 2020.
