Next up is The Seattle Mariners and their team is a tough one. The two players who seems like the best players on the Mariners are Daniel Vogelbach and Dee Gordon. Daniel hits a ton of home runs but a terrible batting average and is slow. The one big thing Daniel has, is that he was an All Star in 2019. Dee Gordon on the other hand, has already been an All Star in previous seasons, hits for average, and is super fast. The one thing Dee Gordon doesn’t do is hit for power. I’ve got to say I think it is Dee Gordon. The one big thing it comes down to is fielding, and Dee Gordon is very good in the field. Dee Gordon can play multiple positions including Shortstop, Second base, and all Outfield positions. Even if fielding didn’t matter Dee Gordon in previous years has been in the MVP conversation, so Daniel still wouldn’t have won. Daniel had a .208 batting average which is terrible and a slugging percentage at .439. On the other hand, Gordon had a .275 batting average and a .359 slugging percentage.
