Kyle Seager and the Silver Bullet Band

Mariners, MLB, Sports

By Blaidd Drwg

Bob Seger had skills and range in his younger days. I wonder if he would be willing to trade his guitar for a bat and glove and play 3B for the Mariners?

The Kyle Seager experience is over for now as he was shipped back to Tacoma. Seager managed to actually be worse than Chone Figgins in his 22 MLB at bats, posting a whopping .136 BA with no extra base hits and 7 strikeouts. It should have been worse – he had an infield single against Texas that was scored a hit that really should have been an error. You know you are off to a bad start when Chone Figgins looks like a better option; heck I think Bob Seger might have been a better choice at 3B for the Mariners.

I know that the Mariners were trying to catch lightning in a bottle when they called Seager up from his hot start in Tacoma, but what made them think that a guy with 60 PA in AAA was ready for the big club?

In other Mariners news, it seems the never-ending LF tryouts has moved from Bradley to Saunders to Peguero to Halman and now to Carp. Good luck to Carp – you probably have about 100 AB to figure out if you can hit your weight.
