The Mariners 25 man roster now has two ex-Pirates, a Snell, a Frenchmen, two Jacks, and a Langerhans. I wanted to see what everyone thought of these new brand new Seattle Mariners.
Jack Wilson
Although Yuni was a fan favorite at the shortstop position, his skills in the past two years have declined significantly. Zduriencik made an effort to improve at the shortstop position and found Jack Wilson. Jack Wilson is one of the best defensive shortstops in the Majors and also has a decent bat to boot. He won a Silver Slugger award and made the All-Star game in 2004.

Ian Snell
Snell has had three different last names since 2001. From 2001-03, Snell took on the last name of his wife and went by Ian Oquendo. In the 2009 World Baseball Classic, Snell took on the last name of his step-father, Ian Davila-Snell. Another cool thing: Snell is probably the best athlete from the state of Delaware. He won the John J. Brady athlete of the year award in 2007.

Luke French
Who was the Luke French's favorite team growing up? The Seattle Mariners. He grew up idolizing Randy Johnson, Ken Griffey Jr., and Jay Buhner. One could only imagine how excited he must have been when he learnt that he would be traded to the Mariners and soon be playing with one of his favorite players of all-time.

Ryan Langerhans
I just enjoy saying his name and you should too. Isn't that enough to convince you that he is your favorite Mariner? Oh yea, here is a picture:

Jack Hannahan
Jack Hannahan sound like a cool name, but not as awesome as Langerhans. Here is the scoop on Hans; His full legal name is John Joseph Hannahan IV. He attended Cretiri-Derham Hall High School in Minnesota, the alma-mater of both Joe Mauer and Paul Molitor. On top of all of this, he has maybe the second best smile on the team to Ichiro. Take a look,
