About the Seattle Mariners

I haven't  said a lot about the Seattle 
Mariners in recent weeks since they
haven't  made any major  moves.

There are a few Mariners  groups 
that mention about moves they
could make. I am not much on
speculation  since most of them  
don't  happen.  

This is another year the Mariners 
haven't  made  any moves that will
make any difference  to  the  team
before Christmas.  They have signed
minor league deals though likely  
none will help the team besides 
adding depth in case of injuries. 

Now we see whether they sign or
trade before Christmas  which at
this point doesn’t  seem likely 
unless it is one that has been in the
works.

We do know at this point  the Mariners 
need a first, second and third baseman.
Luke Raley maybe the guy at first against
righties however someone else against
lefties. Raley is an outfielder  to  so he
would be the 4th outfielder at this point
to. I  am  surprised  they haven't signed
either Justin Turner or Carlos Santana.
Maybe that is a conclusion that just
hasn't  finished.

At second base  the Mariners  may not
sign or trade and stay in house with
Leo Rivas, Ryan Bliss and Dylan Moore. 
Though Rivas and Bliss have shown signs
they don't  seem to be the answer. Dylan 
Moore  isn't  either in my book. We may
have to live with it.

Third base is the big question and who
will that be. The Mariners  front office
may know but not the fans. They may
go for a free agent or a trade. Staying
in house wouldn't  make sense unless
they bring in a second baseman.  

I am not sure the hitting  will be better
however Edgar Martinez  oversees that
department  so does give us hope. The
most important is Julio gets off to a
good start. Everyone  else  may follow. 

Have a wonderful  holiday and we see
how things go for the Mariners. Spring 
Training  begins in about two months.
Go M's.
