Solid choices Hanjag.
As the Mariners go, a little lefty heavy but that would be a sight to see.

A guy I love, probably undeserving of being listed, but what a memory he gave all of us.
Recently, got a lot of hate for questionable comments as a Detroit Tiger coach but he gave us a forever moment with
a HOF-worthy play by Omar Visquel:

Chris Bosio had a mediocre career but was a lot of fun as a Mainer and was a bulldog and ate the innings.

One comment from the youtube video is right on:
You know you've done something really special when Randy Johnson gives you back to back hugs!
Rocky Colavito is a Hall of Famer in my book!

Three weeks ago, Jake Fraley was fielding line drives hit by Ichiro Suzuki every morning during Mariners workouts
huh, didn't know Ichi was there doing that, I think that is pretty cool, a HOF caliber player that shows up at spring training to help with drills. I seem to remember with the typical Ichiro bashing that he was expected to go back to Japan never to be seen again

You honestly didn't know that he has been with the team since ever since he retired? He is probably losing his marbles about now even more than the rest of us.
