Phillipe Aumont - SP
Need to add a Sinker to his pitch rep. Should be his best pitch. From BP, " Aumont's best pitch is a low-90s sinker that touches 95 and has explosive late life, with one scout calling it a major league-ready offering right now". From BA, "He already throws 90-95 with plus-plus sink and boring action, and he may be able to throw even harder as he matures physically."

Still keep his 4-seamer though. From BA, "If batters sit on his sinker, he can blow a high 90's 4-seam fastball by them". Also as it stands in the roster right now, his changeup's potential is lower than its current rating. he should at least have some room for growth here, as it will go a long way to determining whether he is a starter or reliever in the future.

Juan Ramirez - SP
His fastball should be far and away his best pitch. His slider should rank 2nd and his change-up a distant 3rd. His change-ups potential is way too high in the roster right now at 30 points higher than his other pitches, and I think the current rating should be dropped as well.

From BP, "Ramirez has a nearly perfect power-pitching frame and mechanics, and he effortlessly throws 92-94 mph fastballs that can touch 96. His heater features good late life, and he locates the pitch extremely well for being so inexperienced. He flashes a good slider, and he was at his best toward the end of the season. Ramirez' secondary pitches lag well behind his power stuff; he gets around on his slider and flattens it out often, and his changeup is rather rudimentary. The latter is of most concern, as he could use another weapon against left-handers." From BA, "Like most young flamethrowers, Ramirez lacks a feel for his change-up because he's accustomed to blowing the ball past batters. He struggles to stay on top of his secondary pitches on a consistent basis."

Again fastball should be best, slider 2nd with good potential, and change below average with not near as high potential as it currently is.

Carlos Triunfel - 2B
Primary position should be at short, but he should also have a rating at 3rd base (he played there in the Arizona Fall League) as well as 2nd base. From BA, "Triunfel played 2nd, 3rd, and short in the Arizona Fall League, and the Mariners will keep his options open" and "he has solid first-step quickness and reactions at third base, his likely position in the future."

Mario Martinez - 1B
His primary position should be 3rd, followed by shortstop, then 1st. He has played 111 games at 3rd, 33 at short, and 12 at first in his minor league career. He was signed out of Venezeula as a shortstop. His experience should reflect those #'s. Now, he has played 11 games at 1st this year, but played 30 at third, so I suppose you could make 1st his 2nd position, but not his primary. His primary should be 3rd.
