9- What rookie(s) will make an impact in 2015?

It’s possible that the answer to this is none. With a seemingly full 25-man roster as it is, there seems to be no room for a breakout rookie performance.

But injuries are likely to befall this club, as they do to almost every club at some point. So, it is entirely possible that fans could see D.J. Peterson, Patrick Kivlehan, Danny Hultzen, John Hicks or some other relative-unknown looking to make their mark.

Given the recent success of Kivlehan, I would be willing to bet he may actually get the call before the lauded Peterson.

In 2014, Mariners fans were introduced to Roenis Elias, James Jones, Chris Taylor and Carson Smith, just to name a few.

Could Ji-Man Choi, Mayckol Guaipe, or Ketel Marte make their mark with the club in 2015 and help them make the playoffs?

We shall see.
