1B+DH+LF+RF =154 games of Mike Carp
154 Games of Mike Carp = moe likey a lot !
He has proven to be a very nimble 1B with a velcro glove. I'm not convinced that he's our 1B of the future and Smoak DH's.
The game-winning double last night was another example of him sitting on the right pitch. He had, 2 nights earlier, wasted an inside offspeed pitch from a lefty for a GW jack. Think he was getting something offspeed and inside? It was a predictable AB, last night.
Offspeed outside and down, ditto on the 2nd pitch. Fastball....and then fastball, both inteded to be away. Carp set on that 2nd one.
I can't remember watching a Mariner batter so locked in for so long on which pitch he was going to sit on.....and then not miss it.
Edgar?
Ichiro DH's once a week, Carp pikcs up the OF glove and Smoak covers 1B. Wells, Guti, Trayvon play 3 'fer 2 with the other OF spots.
It appears like something such as that is in the works.
I am a bit mystified by the regular Willy Mo sightings lately. Does he have a future with the M's? Unlikely...
