The Seattle Mariners own a 19-22 record this season, far from where the team that was just one win away from the World Series last year wants to be.
For this Mariners team, while there might be some concerns about the pitching staff, mainly with Luis Castillo, the offensive side is much more concerning.
Amid such a worrying offense, Fansided.com's Christopher Kline is urging the Mariners to call up their $95 million infielder and top prospect, Colt Emerson.
"Colt Emerson is a consensus top-10 prospect in MLB, earning an eight-year, $95 million contract extension before his first call-up," Kline writes. "It won't take much longer. Seattle could use another major bat in the infield, even after the Brendan Donovan trade."
With a failing offense, Seattle needs to find a way to improve its offense. They need more firepower, and adding Emerson to the infield would make a ton of sense.
