The best, worst, and probable situation for this year's Mariners

What would you, LL, consider the best case, worst case, and most likely situations for the outcome of this year's Mariner Baseball Season? Post your response in the comments like this: E.G. Best Case: Montero gets to catch more as the year goes on, Smoak makes it through the year without injuries, and both hit 30 homers. Carp hits 20 homers, and the team average resides around .255. The rotation thrives behind the one-two-three punch of Felix, Vargas, and Noesi, and Paxton comes up midway through the year. Worst Case: Gutierrez hits a snag in rehab which saps the strength he had over Spring Training. Saunders shows little improvement at the plate, and Figgins regresses back into the hitter he was in 2010-2011. Ackley is always playing slightly banged up and his numbers show it, and he finishes hitting .260. Montero and Smoak combine for 28 home runs. Carp's defense proves to be a liability, and Olivo is always catching question marks outside of Felix, who has a slight drop in velocity. Probable: Montero catches more and more throughout the season, though Olivo stays in for most games. Smoak and Montero combine for 46 dingers, and Carp comes back and becomes an average starter, though his below average defense keeps him out of crucial situations. Gutierrez comes back slightly weaker, and it takes until late June for him to get going. Figgins regresses slightly, and hits .250, while Ichiro hits .280. The rotation is marginal at best, and Hultzen and Paxton finish the year in AAA.

Winning pitcher Tom Wilhelmsen, who tossed two scoreless innings in relief of Felix Hernandez, was so taken by the fans he saw at his team's first exhibition game against the Hanshin Tigers that he decided to join them. When Hanshin played the A's on Monday, Wilhelmsen went out to the right field bleachers to join the Tigers' supporters...He tried to sing along with them in Japanese when the Tigers were hitting but had trouble figuring out the words."I couldn't,'' he said. "I was trying to but they have a different song for everything and every different player.'' None of the fans, he said, appeared to know who he was. He figures they thought he was some energetic American tourist.

I did some checking and found out that Ackley's first-place vote (and one of Pineda's second-place votes) came from Charley Walters, a columnist for the St. Paul Pioneer Press. He hold the distinction of being the only newspaper writer I know who actually pitched in the major leagues.

The 2007-2011 Mariners All-Hate Team Like an All-Star team, but selected on the basis of my hatred for the player. Would you make any different selections? C Rob Johnson 1B Richie Sexson 2B Jose Lopez SS Yuniesky Betancourt 3B Chone Figgins LF Matt Tuiasasopo CF Willie Bloomquist RF Eric Byrnes DH Ken Griffey Jr. INF Miguel Cairo 1B Scott Speizio DH Jose Vidro C Miguel Olivo OF Jack Cust SP Jarrod Washburn SP Jeff Weaver SP Miguel Bautista SP Carlos Silva SP Horacio Ramirez RP Luke French RP Julio Mateo RP Roy Corcoran RP Ian Snell RP Garrett Olson RP Chris Reitsma RP Sean White On second thought, some of the guys in the pen were a stretch, so I crossed them out and replaced them with Sean White. Furthermore, "hate" is an intentionally fuzzy word which more or less means how much I hated watching him play on the Mariners. Sometimes, it doesn't even imply anything against the player personally (but then again, it often does). Also, Speizio is out of place, but I'll leave him in anyways.

We ran down the ramps and once I was outside I went into the TV truck and got on the telephone to the station. Was there dead air? You’d have to ask KIRO, I wasn’t around. I didn’t want to go down with the ship.

While he dominated primarily with a mid-90s fastball that touched 97-98 on plenty of occasions, he also flashed a plus power curveball that could turn him into a monster if he can be more consistent with it. One scout put it best by saying, "The thing I like best about him is his birthday," as the ultra-athletic righty doesn't turn 19 until August. He arguably has the highest ceiling of any pitcher in the Midwest League, but the amazing thing is there are plenty of nights that he's one of the best pitchers on the circuit right now.
