day roster for the Seattle Mariners. I find it
interesting Cal Raleigh isn't shown being
there. Personally I hope they are wrong.
Yes Tom Murphy is having a good spring
and likely a leader on the team. Cal Raleigh
is the future catcher so he should be on
the team. If not then the Mariners made a
poor choice in drafting him and should look
at trading him. A one man's opinion. Besides
the Mariners have more offense this season
and I don't think Tom Murphy and Luis Torrens
are going to light things up on both offense
and defense.
The season will start with a 28 man roster
until May. Manager Scott Servais is not
happy major league baseball says they can
only go with 13 pitchers when May comes.
It should be a decision by each team. In a way
he is right, however, do you want to hold
strings having less position players. Thankfully
the Mariners do have several players who can
play multiple positions.
What I have read where the Mariners will go
with five pitching starters, ten relievers, five
outfielders, six infielders and two catchers.
They list Tom Murphy and Luis Torrens as
the two catchers with Cal Raleigh starting
in Tacoma. Not my choice as I already stated.
News came out that Evan White will be out
for some time with a sports hernia and will
need surgery. Ty France will be the primary
first baseman while they have several others
backing him up. Abraham Toro who is having
a fine spring will be one of them along with
Dylan Moore. Both considered super utility
players. Luis Torrens could play some first
base which means more to have Raleigh
around. Also, I have heard of using left
fielder Jesse Winker at first base. Of course,
Ty France will play the bulk of time at first.
In the outfield the Mariners going with five
means Julio Rodriguez and veteran Billy
Hamilton will make the roster. Julio has
been playing a lot of center field during
spring so he may play some there. The
thought is Winker, Kelenic, Haniger and
Rodriguez playing most of the time in outfield.
One of the four as a dh. If Winker and Kelenic
struggle against left handed pitching then
Julio would be in center with Dylan Moore
in left. Billy Hamilton has played a lot of
center field so he may play some out there
to. He is a switch hitter so he could start
against lefties and have Julio in left.
Besides France the rest of the starting infield
is set to. They will have Adam Frazier at second,
Eugenio Suarez at third and JP Crawford at short.
Toro will play some second and third. Moore
will backup Crawford at short as well as all the
other infield spots and outfield.
What is your opinion about the opening day
roster? We do have until April 7th when the
season starts so things can still change. By
the way Kyle Lewis likely won't start the season.
Maybe Hamilton be there until Lewis is ready.
Also, depends how Julio begins the season.
GO M'S!
