spring training games on Friday Ty
France came out to say the second half
of last season was more of a slump
than injuries.
Ty has been working on his swing to be
corrected. For the Mariners to have
another successful season and make
the playoffs for the second straight
season it will help that Ty has a full
season hitting like we know he can.
The Mariners don't have another first
baseman on the roster right now.
Technically they have Evan White on
the roster for camp and we know he
is healthy and play good defense.
White hasn't proven he can hit in the
major leagues yet. Having Jarred Kelenic
in left field and not proven he can hit yet
the Mariners can't have two players with
little success to open the season.
The Mariners have Dylan Moore too. He
hasn't proved he can hit major league
as an everyday player as well. The Mariners
have Tommy La Stella who could play
first base to but he hasn't played well for
a couple years earlier. The Mariners have
Mike Ford in camp again and he hasn't
proved he can hit either. This means that
Ty France has to be the guy even if he isn't
hitting as well as we are accustomed to see
him do.
I am sure we will see Ty at dh on occasion
just like Eugenio Suarez. The extra outfielder
will likely dh as well as Teoscar Hernandez
when he isn't in right field. We may see AJ
Pollock at dh sometimes to. Spring training
may decide who might get the bulk of time
at dh. Go M's!
