Abraham Toro Super Sub

The acquisition of Adam Frazier from the
San Diego Padres in the fall and  on Monday
f Eugenio Suarez from Reds Abraham Toro 
is a player without a position.  We should 
see Abraham Toro  in the lineup frequently 
anyway. 

We hope to see the Abraham Toro we saw
right after acquiring him before the trading 
deadline and not at the end of the season 
when he went into a slump.

Being a  switch hitter will give Toro advantage 
playing several positions.  The  Mariners  could 
see him in the outfield and first base as well 
as second and third. He may be at dh sometimes 
against right handed pitching. 

Suarez  bats right-handed so could see Toro 
playing third against right-handed pitching
sometimes. Frazier a lefthanded hitter we
should see Toro  sometimes against lefties. 

Depending on how the outfield works out we
may see Toro out there as well. Both Winker 
and Jarred Kelenic hit left handed  so Toro 
could be out there against lefties. This would 
depend how healthy Kyle Lewis is as well. I 
expect Lewis would be the Mariners top choice 
in the outfield against lefties. We hope Lewis 
to be healthy all season.  It depends to Julio
Rodriguez makes his debut in the majors too.

Anyway wherever Toro is  able to play and 
how often is a good sign for the Mariners.
The  Mariners look to have improved offensive 
lineup over last season. Go M's.
