Many of the top-ranked prospects in the Seattle Mariners organization have already reached the major leagues, but a few more could be on the way shorty.
The Mariners have already had James Jones, Dominic Leone and Roenis Elias make their major league debuts in 2014, and each has experienced some success. It should be only a matter of a few weeks before Chris Taylor and Carson Smith join them to fill a couple of holes on the roster.
Nine of these prospects stand out and should be able to reach the majors either later this season or in 2015. Prospects are not necessarily ranked by talent or upside, but rather by their expected date of arrival, major league readiness and how they can improve weaknesses on the big league roster.
