currently on the roster in their last
fifteen games.
Cal Raleigh hit off to a rough start.
Was sent down at the end of April.
Came back up on May 7 when Tom
Murphy went on injured list. Hasn't
hit well since returning at .167 with three home runs in 13 games. Has
played good defense though.
Luis Torrens expected to be the
best hitter of the catchers hasn't
gotten off to a good start batting
.190 in his last fifteen games. Has
no home runs on the season yet
For the Mariners do better Raleigh
and Torrens will have to hit better.
Ty France has played every game
at first base and the Mariners best
hitter. Over the last 15 games he
is hitting .373.Reminds me of Edgar
Martinez being able to hit all over
the field.
Mike Ford reacquired by the Mariners
on May 12 hasn't hit well in 11 games
with Mariners with average of .182.
With Ty France on first and Kyle Lewis
back at dh Ford won't get much playing
time. As long as he is on the team
most likely will pinch hit.
Adam Frazier has played second base
for the most part. With Abraham Toro
on the injured list still likely continue
at second though can play the outfield.
He has been the Mariners third best
hitter behind Ty France and JP Crawford. In his last 15 games Adam
has hit .274.Doesn't hit with much power. He has been in.the leadoff
spot most if the season though
against Jesse Winker was at leadoff.
JP Crawford has struggled at the
plate in his last 15 games batting
only .211. On the season he is
hitting .296. The Mariners need
Crawford to hit more like .296 or
at least .275. He started the season
batting ninth but raised to sixth in
the order though has hit third on
occasion.
Third base has been Eugenio Suarez
for the most part. Abraham Toro
played there on occasion while Suarez
was doing. Now with Kyle Lewis back
and Toro on injured list third base is
Suarez. He is hitting .246 in his last
15 games with three of his team leading nine home runs.
Toro who played at second, third
and dh got off to a tough start.
He was hitting .318 in his last seven
games before the injured list raising
average to .179. Had six home runs
on the season mostly late in games.
Sam Haggerty was brought up when
Toro went on injured list. He will
play mostly as a late inning replacement has been in two.games.
Dylan Moore listed as an infielder
mostly has played in right field
since Mitch Haniger went on.the
injured list. Dylan primarily starts
against lefties. Jarred Kelenic was
against righties. Now Kelenic is
in Tacoma Taylor Trammel was called
up. Trammel only been in three games
without a hit. Moore is batting only .125 in his last fifteen games. Most like we will see Justin Upton in right field
when called up until Mitch Haniger
returns since haven't had much
production there. At that point won't
see a lot of Moore.
In left field will mostly be Jesse Winker. He got off to a slow start
though hitting .246 in his last fifteen
games. Has raised his average to
.216 on the season. Winker has only
two home runs. For the Mariners to
get on their winning ways Winker
has to do better.
Julio Rodriguez the Mariners outstanding center fielder got off
to rough start. Had a .205 batting average at the end of April. In the
last 15 games Julio is batting .288
with four of his five home runs.
Julio looks like the real thing. See
how he does against Justin Verlander
Friday night.
Start winning games more position
players have to produce more along
with the bullpen.
News came lefthander Roenis Elias
is taking Drew Steckenrider spot in
the bullpen. Interesting he took
Steckenrider's spot when the team
was in Toronto. Hope he does well
out of the bullpen. Go M's.
