Kyle Lewis Ready To Play Ball

Kyle Lewis won't start the season for the
Mariners, however, he is ready to get some
at bats which he will do for a minor league
team. Not sure which team as of yet.

How long he will be down in the minors

won't be sure of it yet. It will be considered

rehab assignment though. He will be dh

for most of the period. He could play the

outfield near the end of rehab or wait 

until he is on the Mariners.

The Mariners likely going with four 

outfielders to start the season with

six infielders and three catchers most

likely. Toro and Dylan Moore will 

have opportunity to play some outfield

as well. Moore is on the team to give

JP Crawford a day off on occasion and

playing defense in the outfield. Toro

will give Frazier a day off at second,

Suarez at third and possibly France 

at first though Torrens might play

first on occasion. 

If Raleigh is on the roster than they

will split up the catching duties. I 

would like Raliegh to catch at least

three times a week. A lot will depend

on whom the Mariners are facing.

Murphy doesn't hit righthanders

well so he most likely faces the 

lefties.  

It does look like Rodriguez will

be with the Mariners. The answer

should happen Sunday as the

Rainiers season starts on Tuesday

at home. Any players not making

the opening roster and going to

Tacoma should have on Sunday.

The Mariners will likely go with

ten relievers to start the season.

The rosters will have to go to

26 on May 1 so the Mariners 

will have to take off two relievers

off the roster. Ken Giles will 

likely return before May so 

someone will have to go down

at that point. Go M's.
