By sheer chance outcome of the alphabetical lottery, the first name in this edition of 26 in the Mix is also a name I was going to write about anyway.  So we can get a two-fer.

For, you see, new Seattle manager Lloyd McClendon reportedly wants as many as three lefties in his MLB bullpen.  That’s not likely to happen, particularly since there are a lot more right-handed candidates knocking on the door than there are left-handed ones.

Charlie Furbush is a given, but the group following him is not overwhelming (although Bobby LaFromboise is much better than his 2013 experience shows).  Thus, perhaps, there is an opening for a longshot … maybe even a really deep longshot?

Maybe.  And if you’re looking for a longshot, we’ve got your guy right here.  And even a second longshot, too.  [And all the guys at the "MB100" page always linked at the top of the page at Mariner Brainstorm.]

Also by sheer chance, all these guys are left-handed.
