The Seattle Mariners' search for a middle-of- the-order bat finally came to fruition on Wednesday, as the club acquired Washington outfielder/first baseman Mike Morse in a 3-team trade that also included the Oakland Athletics.
Mike Morse left the Seattle Mariners an unproven talent – athletic and powerful, but a player who could never crack the everyday big league lineup and was buried in Triple-A Tacoma.
PEORIA, Ariz. — It was one lineup in the first spring training game, but the way it spread out was telling.
As Seattle goes into its 2013 opener tonight in Oakland (7:07 p.m., Root Sports), the Mariners hope to leave behind the 2012 legacy: Last place in the American League in batting average (.234), slugging percentage (.369), on-base percentage (.296), runs (619) and runs per game (3.82).
The Seattle Mariners had it all planned out.
