While the Seattle Mariners are finally more focused on the present, the MLB draft always provides an interesting glimpse into what a franchise may look like in the future.
Seattle's situation in this year's draft, which begins on June 8, is quite different than in previous years. The Mariners have had three top six picks over the past four years, but they do not have a first-round pick this year due to the addition of Nelson Cruz.
While top picks have not always panned out, the Mariners have found some success in the middle and late rounds.
