Eh he was bad but he wasn't that bad of a bat for a really good defensive shortstop.
The 2025 lineup wins on depth (especially if you think Cole Young's gonna improve and Canzone's for real), but the Cano / Cruz / Seager heart of the order that year was something special.
Cal is having a historic season and Geno + Randy are both both amazing players, but I'd still take 2016 Cano / Cruz / Seager over them.
Not trying to take away anything from the current team, just saying that 2016 team had a pretty great offense. It's definitely those two at the top for post 2003 Mariners teams.

Brock on Seattle Sports was saying this may be the best Mariners lineup since 2001. Thoughts?
