Nelson Cruz brought his BOOMSTICK to Seattle and has already impressed in his first cage sessions of Spring Training.

Get that hat tilt just right Mr. Rodney. The FRE gave Mariners fans plenty of near heart attacks in 2014. Will he provide more heart stopping action in 2015?

Let’s hope not. Let’s just get the saves this year.

Mariners 1st baseman Logan Morrison seems to have all but locked up the starting job before camp even started. Though a slow start coupled with the potential emergence of Jesus Montero could spell disaster for Morrison.
