Spring Training Coming Soon

The Mariners  are expected to  report
to training camp  next Monday. Though
some players will be on the field they
mostly  be taking their physicals. 

I  am  amazed how negative  some 
fans and media are about the Mariners 
since they made the playoffs  last year. 

Ok they didn't  sign a big name shortstop 
so what. The amount of years these guys
were asking I don't  blame them. 

Hernandez should be an upgrade from 
Haniger because  of  being healthy or at
least  we hope so.

The pitching should be better this year 
with a full season  of Luis Castillo and George 
Kirby. Logan Gilbert  is  the  same or better.
Robbie  Ray should be better since he had 
an off year last season and he doesn't have 
to worry  about being the ace. The 5th starter
whether Marco,  Flexen or someone  else  no
big deal since the Mariners will be better 
than most other teams 5th starter.  The 
importance is the other four starters are
healthy  all season.

It will be nice starting next week to write 
stories about the players. How they are 
doing in camp and expectations. See 
whether there is a dark horse who makes
the team. The Mariners  don't have many 
openings but one or two could do it.

I  hope a fantastic season ahead building 
on last year. We hope Jarred Kelenic  breaks 
lose and not him Taylor Trammell.  Having
a solid left fielder  would be nice. Go M's.
