However fiction met reality when Trayvon Robinson rolled into camp sporting a new pair of specs.
The 24 year old Robinson...

And 1 I don’t…
I may be a bit on the odd side, I know, but I have to admit that I like watching the rebuilding process that the Seattle Mariners are going through.
It is exciting to watch the youngsters without the hefty paychecks and egos go out and just play baseball. It doesn’t mean that I don’t wish that the team had some elements that would actually help them to score...

A new year, and some fresh beginnings
With the 2012 MLB baseball season about to kick off, I thought I’d take a look at the Seattle Mariners roster going into this season and try to decipher who will have a breakout year.
There’s a guy who comes out of nowhere every year to take the league by storm, why can’t it be a Mariner this year?

Blake Beavan hoping to ride back into Mariners rotation
Among the many players to report to camp looking in visibly better shape this spring is Blake Beavan, who is in a dogfight for a spot in the back of the team's rotation.

Jesus Montero works the opposite field
Seems like we can never get enough of Jesus Montero taking batting practice. Watch him in footage from earlier today, spliced together from multiple rounds of batting practice, as he attempts to go the opposite way to right field.
As we know, Safeco Field can be murder on rght-handed hitters. It won't kill Montero to go the other way every now and then.

Anyhow, here's what father half-kiddingly said to son late last year.
