and baseball begins we will look
at the positions going into spring
training. We hope for additional
in help by trades and free agency.
Right before the lockout Seattle
Mariners president of baseball
operations and general manager
Jerry Dipoto said Ty France will
be the regular first baseman. He
he did an outstanding job when
Evan White was hurt and lost for
the season.
Where Evan White fits on the Mariners
will first begin how healthy he is and
how he hits in spring training. White
has struggled at the plate in his limited
action in the major leagues. White could
begin the season at triple-A if not on the
big club. Dipoto hinted White might play
some outfield as well. White is quite
athletically so not a stretch. His defense
likely work in the outfield. In this case he
would be the 4th or 5th outfield. I could
see him in center field on occasion. It
will be interesting to see how it unfolds.
Another player who might get action at
first base is Luis Torrens. Last season
when he returned from triple-A he was
designated hitter for the most part.
Depending how catching position is
will depend where he plays elsewhere.
The designated hitter most likely be
be Kyle Lewis or Mitch Haniger. This
to will depend on how healthy Lewis
is. Haniger at least one game a week
to keep him healthy again for another
season. We will get more into it when
we get to the outfield. Go M's!
