3/24/14: Mariners open game thread

Time for one more Blake Beavan start, as he'll look to rebound from the whopping suck fest he laid last week. The final rotation spot is very much in flux, and it wouldn't be safe to call Beavan the leader anymore.

A quick note: Hisashi Iwakuma threw a real baseball today and had no setbacks, so that's good. He's obviously not going to be ready any time soon, but if the timeline goes right, he should return to the rotation around late April, knocking out whoever is holding down this final spot. Taijuan Walker has made his debut, and was reportedly throwing 94-97. To the victor go...three starts. Maybe.
