Saunders’ Struggles with Outside Pitches
At USSMariner, Dave Cameron posted a rundown of his projected Mariners opening day roster. He thinks that the Mariners should (and it appears the team will) start the season with Michael Saunders back down in AAA. Saunders, Cameron notes, has a problem with his swing that make it tough for him to hit the ball to left field, which makes it hard for him to deal with outside pitches...

2010 in Review: Michael Saunders
The person in the green jacket has terrible depth perception
In a season of things that went wrong, Michael Saunders was (kind of) a bright spot, giving fans a taste of his offensive potential and showing good range in the outfield.

Michael Saunders, Our Future Left Fielder
It’d be tough to find a credible prospect list that ranked Michael Saunders as the Mariners #1 – in fact, he probably doesn’t even land the #2 spot on a fair number of them, but I absolutely cannot overstate how important he is to the Seattle Mariners. He isn’t a former first round draft pick, [...]
