A solid, gritty shortstop without a single stand-out tool in his bag, Florida grad Nick Franklin projects as 'a switch-hitting Michael Young' according to at least one scout. He's an above-average fielder with decent range, a solid line-drive hitter with a discerning eye, and a faster-than-average baserunner with good judgment.

Franklin spent most of 2011 in high-A, but a final month at AA Jackson was eye-opening, as scouts' darling Nicky slashed .325/.371/.482 with seven extra base hits and five steals in 21 games. He will contend for a Mariner job in 2012.
