Mariners Outfield

Some players have arrived  in Arizona 
and spring game training  is official
under two weeks. We will be looking 
at positions and players. It will be
interesting  whether there will be a
sunrise or two to make the team.

Today we look at the outfield. We know
Julio Rodriguez will  be  in center field 
most of the season as long g as he is 
healthy. Some of March we won't see
him with the World Baseball  Classic 
going on.

Jarred Kelenic  and Taylor Trammell 
we will see some in center well as
left. One of the two likely  be starting 
the season in left. I  expect Kelenic 
will  get the great opportunity to win 
the spot.  Most likely the middle of
March we will know for sure. Trammell 
maybe the 4th outfielder  if he does well.
Also, he could dh. 

AJ Pollock is  expected  to  start in left
field against lefties and may do so at dh
as well. The  Mariners  should have four
bench players including Pollock. Most
likely the Mariners will go with 13 position
players Four bench players don't count
back up catcher who likely will be Tom Murphy.

Dylan Moore  just signed a three year contract
with the Mariners  so he will be another bench
player so that leaves two spots unless they
decide to  go  with an additional pitcher at the
beginning  of  the  season.
