one of those two (or both) are going to have to see significant time against leftie.s..there's no way around it.
I'd rather that one be Griffey because even against the lefties his eye ratio, while not great, is not tragic. Branyan, on the other hand..........
The Mariners, if they're going to score enough to win, are going to have to put together 15 hard at bats a day. Grind it out...get to the bullpen a lot...take lots of pitches. They weren't well built to do that but Z got as many guys as he could who would help in that regard (Branyan, Shelton/Sweeney, Griffey, Gutierrez, Chavez (yes Chavez...his P/PA is not bad for a slap hitter))...they're going to have to hope they can become patient and tough enough at the plate to cover their other weaknesses.
