The problem with League, Lueke and Wilhelmsen won't be lack of talent -- it will be translating it into peformance. I felt the spring was encouraging with respect to all three.
And Aardmsa is already throwing off the mound and is slated to be back in May.
Ray is marginal, and I will grant that Wright, Pauley and Laffey are pedestrian. But Wright and Pauley, at least, have shown some ability to maximize their abilities.
Plus, they'll have about a zillion guys in waiting at Tacoma who could catch fire (although admittedly only Cortes and the always-intriguing Scott Patterson hold much interest). But there's nothing to keep the revolving door from spinning.
Also, Brian Moran could work his way up from AA.
[And -- Lt. Hill (always an SSI favorite!) is giving it another go -- he'll be in Jackson for a second tour of duty after an injury-shortened and generally mediocre '10.]
