Now that the Arkansas Travelers are out of the playoffs (SNIFF), the MiLB season has come to a close for the Mariners. That means it’s time to go through each affiliate and review their seasons. So far we’ve covered the Rookie levels (DSL and AZL), the short-season Everett AquaSox (A-), and the Low-A West Virginia Power (A). We move up one more rung to the High-A Modesto Nuts, whose position as a prospect pit stop made for an inconsistent roster at the plate but a pitching powerhouse.
Overall record: 65-75, 3rd in California League North
On Opening Day, Modesto seemed to be the odd affiliate out, with the Power and the Arkansas Travelers receiving most of the system’s prospect clout.
