I was wondering what Ackley and Smoak had to do this spring to get a write up on SSI.  It seems like Ackley is good for a triple every game.  Smoak's OBP this spring has been outrageous.  Dude hasn't made any outs yet.
What is painfully obvious is that Catricala is always good for a homerun against the Rangers or Angels.  Two close games, two multi RBI homeruns, two wins.  Two division rivals skulking back to their caves to lick their wounds.  Coincidence?  I don't think so.  This kind of player is handy.  Some players are just dialed in against certain teams.  Think Nelson Cruz, the Furbush, Kelley and Vargas killer, only on our team, and only lighting up their pitchers.
Are we really going to send him down to give Chone more playing time?  This could cost us some games.  Z ought not worry about Chone's wasted salary when we have an exciting team with a small $60 million payroll.  He's been good enough to the bean counters who own the Mariners, now its time to give the fans what they want to see.
