The Mariners outfield has been subpar defensively for a while. They tried to address it this season by adding Dyson and Haniger, but we'll see. Haniger should definitely be an upgrade in right over we've had since Ichiro left, but he's pretty raw. The other day he literally lost the game by dropping a ball with the bases loaded. He was on the run but it bounced right out of his glove. It was a pretty routine play that cleared the bases. And Gryph is right about Dyson. They say he's out of position a lot but makes up for it with speed.
But the Mariners are 3-8 because of bullpen struggles and inability to hit with runners in scoring position. That's been the story early, but it's still early.
I was just hoping I wouldn't be saying "it's still early" this early.
