(paraphrased very roughly) in an interview (the same one where he talked about not understanding defensive statistics). In other words, time for GMs to call up GMDM and see what it would cost to get these guys.

Ask anybody in the Seattle front office! They told me so! He's about to breakout, Art Stewart promised me that! Yuni is an up and coming talent! Ask anybody in the Seattle front office!

Hell I would have even paid his full salary. Basically when he is on the field he is costing his team wins. I’m a huge Mariners fan and I would have traded Yuni to the Royals for nothing.

Although he was looking a little better over his last two or three starts, basically, he's been scuffling at AA this year, a level he's repeating. Updated Baseball America prospect rankings have dropped him from the top 100 (he was at #90 preseason) and Duffy (who is close to top 50 now; I don't remember the exact number at the moment) has easily passed him. Montgomery would also be ranked ahead of Cortes by now. Cortes' stock has definitely been on the decline since last year's Arizona Fall League, where he got hammered. (This post is is no way to be even vaguely construed as any kind of defense of Dayton Moore's actions in the past few days.)

Best case scenario is DM builds up the farm system and then is replaced by somebody who can better utilize the resources he inherits.
