Saturday Opening of Cactus League

The Seattle  Mariners  open spring training 
games on Saturday against Chicago White 
Sox at noon Seattle  time.

It will be interesting to  see what the opening 
lineup will look like. I  am  sure  some of the
starters will be in the lineup though only play
like three innings. 

The Mariners signed two  more players these
to minor league deals. Infielder Brian Anderson 
who played 96 games for the Milwaukee Brewers 
last season  and right handed reliever Trevor Kelley 
who pitched a few innings last year with Tampa
Bay.

Neither Anderson  or Kelley had impressed stats.
Anderson went on the injured list after 96 games.
His primary  position  is third base and he has 
played right field to so gives Mariners added
depth and insurance.  Right now Luis Urias has a
sore shoulder so we may see Anderson  a lot in
the Cactus League especially early  on  to see how
he does. Also good in case Mitch Haniger  gets 
hurt as well. Kelley  is  another pitcher who the
Mariners  will try to change their fortune around.
I  am  sure  with all the candidates  they have one 
might make the ball club. Go M's.
