Kansas City rolls into Peoria today for a Cactus League game with Seattle, and the Mariners field a lineup that – win or lose – looks more like the Mariners.
Chone Figgins, Ichiro, Smoak, Montero, Olivo – with Alex Liddi at third base and Kyle Seager at second. Well, OK, Seager is at second base because Dustin Ackley is still under the weather, but still …
Blake Beavan starts for Seattle, Bruce Chen for Kansas City, and most teams are calling it a day after one last Sunday in Arizona. The Mariners? They play three more after today.
Today’s lineup:
Chone Figgins LF
Munenori Kawasaki SS
Ichiro RF
Justin Smoak 1B
Jesus Montero DH
Miguel Olivo C
Kyle Seager 2B
Alex Liddi 3B
Casper Wells CF
Blake Beavan RHP
