Cuts, Round Two

Saturday, March 13th, 2010

Four more Spring Training cuts rolled in today, and these four were even less surprising than some of the first batch.

I think I’ve held pretty steady in my summation of how the catcher positions would shake out for the 2010 Seattle Mariners.

Jack Hannahan out 7-10 days

Friday, March 12th, 2010

Jack Hannahan is going to miss at least 7-10 days with a groin injury. As we know, these things can linger, so the door is now open for Tui to make an argument to be the M’s utility player over the next couple weeks. I wouldn’t be surprised if this injury took longer to come [...]

Catchers Steve Baron and Luis Oliveros, lefty starters Mauricio Robles, Chris Seddon, Ryan Feierabend and Nick Hill and right handed relievers Joshua Fields and Steven Shell are the first cuts of the spring for our Seattle Mariners.
