Mariners Win with six games remaining in spring

The Seattle Mariners won Tuesday

afternoon over the Milwaukee Brewers

9-3.

Bryan Woo got off to a rough

start giving up three runs. After

that he settled down going five 

innings. Cal Raleigh got the

Mariners going in the third 

inning with a home run. The 

Mariners scored four runs

and never looked back.

In the fifth inning Luke Raley 

and Randy Arozarena each

hit a double to score to more 

runs. In the sixth Victor Robles

hit a three-run homer to end 

the scoring.

The Mariners play the Texas

Rangers on Wednesday with

Emerson Hancock starting.

The Mariners have six remaining

spring games including Wednesday.

Thursday is a day off. A split

squad on Friday. So leaves

single games Saturday, Sunday 

and Monday. The last game will

be against the Padres.

The Mariners have next Tuesday 

and Wednesday off before facing

the A's on Thursday March 27

in Seattle.

The Mariners still have 17 pitchers 

still in camp on the 40 man roster.

The Mariners have 17 position

players on the same 40 man roster

as well. Right now they have

39 total out of 40 on the roster.

George Kirby likely will start the

season on the injured list and

the same goes to Matt Brash.

That means three nonroster

players could make the team

without taking anyone else off.

Mitch Haniger hasn't played

since March 4 so he could make

it four.

This means having 13 pitchers 

and position players the Mariners

have to cut at least four pitchers

and four position players depending

whether any non-roster players make

it.

At this point Brandyn Garcia a lefty

is the best chance to make the

bullpen. Rowdy Tellez is the best

chance to be the only position

player not on the 40-man roster

to make the team. He is a left

handed hitting first baseman

and dh who has had a very good

spring so far. If Mitch Haniger is 

on the injured list he likely will

make it and may anyway.

Tellez is currently hitting .297

in spring with three home runs

and four RBIs. He has only struck

out seven times. The Mariners

like guys who can play more

than one position which is downfall

however he could still make it. 

The Mariners have nine position players plus four bench players.

Mitch Garver counts as dh along

with being the second catcher.

Donovan Solano will be the 2nd

first baseman who can play third

as well. Dylan Moore should be

the utility player so that leaves

two other spots. We will see how 

that irons out.  Go M's
