Eheehehemmmhem!!
Pardon the interruption but the Mariners are WERE a top half offense in the AL. Away from Safeco. They were fifth in the AL in R/G in 2012 outside of Safeco Field.
With the fences coming in and two big bats to MOTO us through some jams...the kids are almost CERTAIN have their home/road stats even up some. There's no compelling reason why Seager should hit .200 at home and yet that's what happened. I know he pops the ball up a lot so that helps explain some of his Safeco struggles, but he uses all fields, bats lefty and hits the ball pretty hard. So...why the split? Confidence. Seager, Ackley, Smoak and Montero all had wicked platoon splits due to lack of confidence hitting at Safeco more than due to the conditions of the park itself.
In 2013, I would not be surprised if the Mariners suddenly had 30 HRs out of three line-up spots and a team R total over 800.
