Spring Training story lines

1st up:

Taylor Trammell is out 7+ weeks with a broken hamate bone. This opens the door for guys like Cooper H, LaStella, Marlowe, White, JK, Ford, Moran, and who knows.

One is about our trip down in March and this one seems to be about Mariners news.

Yes, I wouldn't have said it if not.

Divish not aware of Marlowe playing in Tacoma even though he lives there. :roll:
PHOENIX — Any competition for the left-handed hitting portion of the platoon the Mariners had planned to employ in left field ended before it started.

Speaking at the Cactus League media day, Jerry Dipoto, the Mariners president of baseball operations, announced that outfielder Taylor Trammell had suffered a broken hamate bone in his right hand during a workout before reporting to spring training.

“It happened late in his offseason training,” Dipoto said. “He got hit in the hand. He came in and just saw the doctor in the last 48 hours. He’s going to be delayed a while. It’s not a long-term concern, but it is a short-term reality.”

Three things to watch as Mariners open spring training with plenty of expectations
The injury will require surgery in the next few days to remove the broken bone. The recovery is roughly six to seven weeks.

“That competition with young left-handed hitters just got a little more interesting,” Dipoto said. “That’s going to be a thing for us is seeing where Jarred Kelenic is, where Cade Marlowe is and now we’ll take a look at different solutions to fill that spot.”

ADVERTISING
Trammell, 25, played in 43 games for the Mariners last season, posting a .196/.284/.402 slash line (batting average/on-base percentage/slugging percentage) with nine doubles, four homers, 10 RBI, 13 walks and 33 strikeouts.

He was expected to compete with Kelenic for the left-field platoon that will feature veteran right-handed hitter AJ Pollock. Instead, it appears that Kelenic will earn the spot. Marlowe has never played above the Class AA level.

I wonder how they will spin it if Marlowe hits lights out and JK is same old same JK?
Any guess as to who would win the LF spot?

JK can hit minor league pitching so I am sure he will have another good Spring facing those minor leaguers and vets just getting work in. Cade could hit .700 with 10 HRs and still not win the job.
