Reds in their spring training field 2-0.
The Reds only had one hit which
happened in the 8th inning. This
occurred after the Mariners scored
their two runs in the top of the 8th.
Mariners top prospect Cole Young
came in the game after JP Crawford
had his first two at bats. In his second
at bat Cole hit a double driving in the
two runs the Mariners scored. Cole
Tucker played center field after Sam
Haggerty started there. He and Nick
Solak who got on ahead of Young
scored. Many figure Young is on the
fast track to be a member of the
Mariners team. With JP Crawford
playing good ball over the last couple
seasons 2nd base would be his likely
spot. The Mariners acquired Jorge
Polanco a few weeks ago. At this point
it doesn't look like he will start either
position for a few seasons. I suppose
third base could be another option.
The Mariners could use him as a super
utility player as well. At least this a good
problem to have.
Another player who should be on
the roster in the near future is catcher
Harry Ford. He considers himself
a catcher at this point. Of course, the
Mariners have Cal Raleigh as well.
Cal is a young veteran. The Mariners
could sign him to a contract in the
next couple of years. Recently Cal
mentioned be a Mariner for life. Now
what happens with Harry. Do the
Mariners move him to another position
or trade him. Another one which is
to have a problem like this. A catcher
like Ford doesn't come along often
either. The Mariners have other youngsters
coming up in the next years too. We will
see what happens. Ford is so special
and so I Cal don't want to see either
one leave.
News came that Julio has a sore
left hand. The Mariners are not worried
and he is working out though hasn't
played in any games yet. Hard to know
when he will be in the lineup.however
soon likely. The key he is ready for
the season opener.. Go M's.
