Is quickly becoming wonderful to see.  I don't fully buy in, I guess, but I am glad there's a glimmer there.
Ackley and Smoak I buy in on.  Carp has me at about 80% - I want to see him struggle and how he deals, whether he busts his teeth off grinding them to nothing and digging himself deeper, or if he knows how to use a shovel to dig himself out.  I'd give him a good long time to find out, though.
Wells I'm like 65% on in LF, but it'd be 85% in CF.  Trayvon and his 60% in CF is already there trying to work out his game (please remember what it's like to take four balls and walk to first, Tray) but I'm okay with there being crossover.
If we had Rendon ready to challenge in Spring Training for the 3B job and a catcher worth paying attention to we could have a really full lineup.
Here's hoping Martinez can step up, Seager can stop trying to do too much, and we can get some sort of patch on the hot corner nightmare.
The next 6 weeks of watching the 2012 Mariners get their feet under em in 2011 should be fun.  Hopefully Smoak can survive the year without a Final Destination-style ending - he needs to go have whatever voodoo curse is on him removed ASAP.
But the roster definitely has upside.  I don't like our chances of hitting on all those bets we're running right now, but some of em are gonna pan out from the looks of things.
We need that sort of luck, now.   It's about time the odds started turning around.
