I can’t believe that I forgot they give you a pass on injuries for MLB The Show Diamond Dynasty. This is why I spaced on Ken Giles, and that he would still be included. What’s more, is he is the top-ranked Mariner, and the only gold player as well. MONTERO IS A 61. Wow.

Are there a ton of Mariners players that you should use on your Diamond Dynasty team in MLB The Show? No, there aren’t.

Remember, Diamond Dynasty cards get weekly temporary adjustments, and occasionally get permanent adjustments too if a player is doing well enough. *Cough* Ty France *Cough*.
