Seattle Mariners pitching could be better than we thought

The Seattle Mariners only have one expectation for their 2020 season: to let the young kids play. 2020 is not about wins or losses, it is about development. But while I applaud their honesty, Seattle is projected by most to lose between 95-100 games and that makes for a rough season for most fans.

But here is the thing about projections: they mean almost nothing. They are based on regression and past performance. But sometimes projections are limited by their very nature. Take Yusei Kikuchi, who has all of 161 big league innings in which to build a projection.
