And what's this talent you speak of? They have Felix atop their rotation which is fine, if you can get past the fact that he's thrown 200 innings once. They have Bedard who is coming off major shoulder surgery. Besides that, they have Morrow who I like but what are they really gonna get from him?
They had an awful lineup last year, lost their best bat from that group and replaced him with Griffey. I don't see where Mariners optimism can come from.
