Jeff’s Seattle Mariners April 1, 2013 starting lineup projections

Via NorthWest Sports Beat  |  January 14, 2013
M’s Open In Oakland Opening Day vs. A’s the defending AL West champs, who will be in the lineup you ask? Spring in the air, sunshine and the smell of sunflower seeds cover the field as the Seattle Mariners prepare for game 1 of 162.

Player Profile #151: Michael Saunders | OF | SEA

Via Baseball Professor  |  January 16, 2013
In his first 204 MLB games, Michael Saunders couldn’t quite figure it out. He slashed .196/.263/.306 combined with a 28.3 K% and 8.5 BB%; that’s the profile of an overmanned batter. In 2012, Saunders finally started to show signs of finally figuring out MLB pitching as he slashed .247/.306/.432, which is not that impressive, but his K rate dipped to 23.9%. On top of all that...

Via Off The Bench  |  January 16, 2013
Breaking now is a three team deal that sends slugger Michael Morse to the Seattle Mariners, catcher John Jaso to the Oakland A’s and single A pitcher AJ Cole to the Washington NAtionals.

Appreciating John Jaso

Via Fangraphs  |  January 16, 2013
