second start of the spring for the Mariners.
It looked a lot better than his first outing.
Making the starting rotation won't be easy
but Newsome does have a shot as the
sixth starter.
Newsome went three innings gave up one
hit, no walks and struck out three. What
Newsome has on his side he doesn't walk
a lot of batters. If things work out between
him and other pitchers vying for the end
of the starting rotation will be the lack of
walks.
Gerson Bautista coming back after missing
last season is not having a good time during
the exhibition games anyway so far. On Tuesday
he went one inning giving up two runs on two
hits. He didn't give up a walk but has an era
of 9.00. Bautista will have to improve to make
Seattle bullpen. He likely will begin at triple-A.
Ty France continues to hit the baseball hard
and often. He will be in the lineup for the
Mariners somewhere when the season begins.
Evan White and Jake Fraley are both struggling
at the plate. Fraley still hasn't had a hit in the spring.
White defense is a plus for him and the Mariners
don't have many other options unless France play
some first base. White is the superior defensive
player.
