No. I do think they are better than everyone assumed they were going to be however. And the team chemistry honestly does look and feel 10000x better. Bunch of players with no expectations placed on them can be dangerous.
I've been a Mariner fan living on the East Coast all of my 36 years of life (well the years in which one can enjoy a sport that is) and they've done nothing but let me down (for the most part) ... so I figure this run will eventually fizzle out, but it sure is enjoyable right now. Houston coming to town this weekend will be a fun test.
Vogelbach was a man with no position who did nothing but hit in the minors. Was perpetually blocked by Nelson Cruz and then I figured he was screwed with our large amount of slow 1B/DH types (Healy, Bruce, Encarnacion), but then Seager got hurt and it opened an easier path to consistent playing time. He is just making the most of his time it seems and is ridiculously hot right now. Made some swing changes to elevate the ball more in the minors last season and has always had a good eye. He's not nearly as good as the numbers he's been putting up, but by no means do I think he isn't a capable MLB hitter.
