2008 Baseball Season Is Here!
Yes, finally! I’m not going to go into the specifics, but I think the Seattle Mariners have a pretty good team, and a shot at the playoffs, if everything works out (of course). They have their weak spots, namely their corner outfield defense. But their starting staff is a lot better than last seasons. And while they don’t have any new bats of any consequence, the ones they have now are progressing nicely. And the left side of the infield has great defense.
Of course they’ll have to beat the reigning AL West Champs, the Los Angeles Angels. But fortunately for the Mariners the Angels have had a couple of crucial injuries in their rotation. But even if they do get to the playoffs, the going will be tough. They will most likely have to play tough teams like Boston and Detroit.
But I’m hoping that they make it to the World “Serious”. Go Mariners!
I’m a Tigers fan myself. But don’t see them doing as well as many predict. Their pitching is pretty patchy. About from Verlander they don’t have dominant stuff. They could really really struggle, especially against the Indians.
Seattle’s got a chance. They’ve got ggood managementt

Yeah, their pitching isn’t all that great, although some see a Cy Young year out of Verlander. But their bats are what scares me.
As for your last sentence, I agree with the first part, but not the second. Signing Wilkerson? Couldn’t they find a better RF? And Miguel Cairo? They already have a utility infielder.
