Happy Sunday everyone! It’s becoming a bit of a pattern for the Sunday links to prominently feature Kade Anderson. I wonder if that will end next week. I honestly hope not. The kid is so electric he has me wondering about other undeniable spring standouts and which of them ended up turning out the best for bygone Mariners teams. Which Mariners have had Spring performances that made you think they were headed for absolute greatness?
In Mariners news…
- Lookout Landing established boots on the ground in Peoria yesterday, and the first post is an important reminder, all people yearn for properly fitting pants.
- Kade Anderson, the darling of Spring Training so far, made his Cactus League debut yesterday, and true to form, he did not disappoint.
- It’s not all sunshine and Kade Anderson on the Mariners pitching front however. Bryce Miller is expected to miss his next Cactus League start with oblique inflammation, and will be re-evaluated to resume activity in a week.
Around the league…
- It is currently unclear if Houston Astros closer Josh Hader will be ready for Opening Day.
- Detroit Tigers pitcher Troy Melton is expected to miss Opening Day with inflammation is his right elbow.
- The Kansas City Royals signed outfielder Starling Marte to a one-year deal yesterday.
- Angels outfielder Josh Lowe, who the team acquired via trade a few weeks ago and was expected to be one of the team’s Opening Day outfielders, is taking a little extra time to get up to full speed with oblique tightness.
