Seattle worried about 3rd Center Fielder

Can't wait for opening day at Safeco. HUGE scoreboard, but my seats are in right field, under the Hit it Here Cafe, don't know if I'll have a good look at it. More concerned about the product on the field.

Morse was a great pickup, good to have him back in the PNW, and welcome back Raul Ibanez. Don't know about our rotation. Lots of potential but the odds of them developing at the same time is a long-shot. At least the M's won't be in the cellar thanks to the Stros joining the West.

As for a third CF, we need it. Guitierrez is prone to freakish injuries. I mean, beaned in the head while diving back to the bag, or an unexplained thyroid condition. Just weird.

Morse will be a great pickup for Seattle fans this year.I was sad to see him go from the Nats for lead off hitter Denard Span.We could have put Bryce Harper there and kept Morse.Best of luck to him and the Mariners.

I don't think Bay will make the team. Casper Wells is too versatile - they have to give him another shot.

They also have a log-jam at 1B, but I like Wedge's approach to the problem: Smoak starts I bet they let him play until he goes into one of his normal dives, then he's gone - how many years can you throw good money after bad? Plus, Morales is too good not to get significant AB's.

I will be going to lots of games, as I always do, but will be in Western Colorado during May and June.

If anyone's up for it, we should get tickets for the first home stand - I'll probably show up on the opener and buy a ticket from a scalper, but getting seats in advance for the next few games.
