The catcher may soon find himself fulfilling the path laid out for him years ago by many prospect experts and soon become a former catcher while there. http://mariners.scout.com/2/1293973.html 2047 Rick Randall http://mariners.scout.com/2/1293973.html Thu, 23 May 2013 16:14:00 GMT 0 318 Seattle mariners A month into the young 2013 season, the Seattle Mariners are hitting the fastball better than they have managed to in years. But, oh, those offspeed pitches. We take a look at the numbers and run values against fastballs and offspeed pitches for the current roster. http://mariners.scout.com/2/1288892.html 2047 Rick Randall http://mariners.scout.com/2/1288892.html Fri, 03 May 2013 04:17:00 GMT 1 318 Seattle mariners The Seattle Mariners offense is again at the bottom of the league in production. The front office has been working to improve the hitting for several years now -- why hasn't it worked? We look at some of the primary culprits while giving kudos to the process that was used. http://mariners.scout.com/2/1285721.html 2047 Rick Randall http://mariners.scout.com/2/1285721.html Mon, 22 Apr 2013 06:53:00 GMT 1 318 Seattle mariners Over the coming month SeattleClubhouse will be evaluating the American League West -- one position at a time. In our initial piece below, take a look at the backstops who are slated to begin the 2013 season. http://mariners.scout.com/2/1268234.html 2047 Josh Dobner http://mariners.scout.com/2/1268234.html Wed, 20 Feb 2013 18:00:00 GMT 1 318 Seattle mariners Mike Morse was likely the final major offensive addition of this off-season for the Seattle Mariners, who had offense as their first, second and third priorities heading into 2013. With that all checked off and money still not an issue, where will the club turn next to fill out their roster? SeattleClubhouse runs down some possibilities. http://mariners.scout.com/2/1259132.html 2047 Rick Randall http://mariners.scout.com/2/1259132.html Sat, 19 Jan 2013 17:03:00 GMT 0 318 Seattle mariners The Mariners continued to try and address their punchless offense on Wednesday by reacquiring Mike Morse from the National in a 3-way trade. But did they actually make the team worse in the process as many are claiming? http://mariners.scout.com/2/1258471.html 2047 Rick Randall http://mariners.scout.com/2/1258471.html Thu, 17 Jan 2013 15:37:00 GMT 1 318 Seattle mariners Dissecting ten available players the Seattle Mariners could pursue -- five of which they could be better off avoiding. http://mariners.scout.com/2/1241309.html 2047 Josh Dobner http://mariners.scout.com/2/1241309.html Sun, 18 Nov 2012 19:38:00 GMT 1 318 Seattle mariners With a few moves already out of the way and Free Agency upon us, SeattleClubhouse takes a look at the current state of the 25- and 40-man rosters for the Mariners. There are likely to be trades and free agent additions, but in advance of that phase, this is a look at spots that need to be saved and at who the club needs to protect by adding them to the 40. http://mariners.scout.com/2/1237162.html 2047 Rick Randall http://mariners.scout.com/2/1237162.html Tue, 06 Nov 2012 20:26:00 GMT 0 318 Seattle mariners The Seattle Mariners right-hander hasn't pitched up to his potential and has been prone to the long ball. SeattleClubhouse takes a look at why. http://mariners.scout.com/2/1225603.html 2047 Rick Randall http://mariners.scout.com/2/1225603.html Tue, 16 Oct 2012 18:39:00 GMT 1 318 Seattle mariners Jesus Montero came to the Seattle Mariners prior to the 2012 season, instantly becoming the team's No. 1 overall prospect. Just one year removed from that label, some around baseball now predict failure for the young catcher. Take a look at why SeattleClubhouse predicts a different path for the Venezuelan slugger. http://mariners.scout.com/2/1229052.html 2047 Josh Dobner http://mariners.scout.com/2/1229052.html Fri, 12 Oct 2012 08:19:00 GMT 1 318 Seattle mariners The Seattle Mariners finished off a seemingly disenchanted Los Angeles Angels team the last two nights to end their 2012 season with 75 wins. That win total represents an eight game improvement from the club's 2011 mark and is 14 games better than two seasons ago in 2010. But although the improvements have been obvious, is it enough of a move forward for the club? http://mariners.scout.com/2/1230888.html 2047 Rick Randall http://mariners.scout.com/2/1230888.html Sat, 06 Oct 2012 13:11:00 GMT 0 318 Seattle mariners As the regular season winds down, SeattleClubhouse asks our readers, who gets your vote for the Mariners' 2012 MVP? Are you going with Felix's dominant pitching? Jaso's clutch hits? Seager's 2-out RBI? Ryan's otherworldly defense? The Bartender's closing? Read about them all and more inside and place your vote. http://mariners.scout.com/2/1223684.html 2047 Rick Randall http://mariners.scout.com/2/1223684.html Sat, 22 Sep 2012 04:01:00 GMT 0 318 Seattle mariners Seattle Mariners Manager Eric Wedge has been steaming for weeks over the club's lack of offense and being very open that changes were coming if the tide didn't turn. After yet another extra inning loss in which the club scored only one run, several changes are likely to take place over the All-Star Break. SeattleClubhouse looks at what those changes may be. http://mariners.scout.com/2/1200969.html 2047 Rick Randall http://mariners.scout.com/2/1200969.html Mon, 09 Jul 2012 05:56:00 GMT 1 318 Seattle mariners The Seattle Mariners finished up the first one-third of their season last night in Chicago with their 7-4 loss to the White Sox in game number 54. SeattleClubhouse checks in on the big league club with an inventory of what has gone right and what has gone wrong. http://mariners.scout.com/2/1190081.html 2047 Rick Randall http://mariners.scout.com/2/1190081.html Sat, 02 Jun 2012 04:30:00 GMT 1 318 Seattle mariners Mariners catcher Miguel Olivo is in his 11th season in the major leagues, and while it is fair to say that he hasn't ever truly lived up to expectations for some, the 33-year-old's impact on the game shouldn't be discounted. http://mariners.scout.com/2/1181032.html 2047 Rick Randall http://mariners.scout.com/2/1181032.html Tue, 08 May 2012 04:30:00 GMT 1 318 Seattle mariners In a somewhat unfamiliar situation, the Mariners have more healthy, contributing, MLB-quality players that they want to give time than they have spots on the Major League roster. With Carp and Gutierrez returning soon, two tough roster decisions lie ahead for manager Eric Wedge. http://mariners.scout.com/2/1175170.html 2047 Rick Randall http://mariners.scout.com/2/1175170.html Fri, 13 Apr 2012 04:05:00 GMT 0 318 Seattle mariners Part three of our six part series of prospect depth charts focuses on the Top-10 Catchers in the Mariners organization. http://mariners.scout.com/2/1162548.html 2047 Rick Randall http://mariners.scout.com/2/1162548.html Mon, 05 Mar 2012 18:01:00 GMT 1 318 Seattle mariners The American League West is a highly competitive division with two teams clearly outspending and possibly outclassing the Mariners at this point. But the club is still focusing on the long-term goal of building a sustainable winner. That means that 2012 could be another season where the youngsters take their lumps as the talent continues to rise to the big league level. http://mariners.scout.com/2/1153922.html 2047 Rick Randall http://mariners.scout.com/2/1153922.html Wed, 01 Feb 2012 19:00:00 GMT 0 318 Seattle mariners As we enter the 2012 season, the Seattle Mariners organization is viewed as one of the deepest and most talented in all of baseball. The responsibility for overseeing those highly regarded players is now with former MLB outfielder Chris Gwynn. SeattleClubhouse's Rick Randall spoke with Gwynn this week about his philosophy on player development and his overall thoughts on the system he inherited. http://mariners.scout.com/2/1152853.html 2047 Rick Randall http://mariners.scout.com/2/1152853.html Sat, 28 Jan 2012 05:01:00 GMT 0 318 Seattle mariners Now that the Mariners went out and made what is likely to be their biggest move of the winter in acquiring Jesus Montero, the outlook of the organization has changed a bit. No longer needing to produce a true cleanup hitter, SeattleClubhouse takes a look at the hitters that could potentially help the big league club as complimentary pieces in 2012. Scouting reports and MLB-player comps included. http://mariners.scout.com/2/1145830.html 2047 Rick Randall http://mariners.scout.com/2/1145830.html Mon, 23 Jan 2012 20:30:00 GMT 1 318 Seattle mariners
