"Cuts clear Mariners' first-base picture"
an article describing the M's platoon at first base this season is shaping up to include Russell Brynan and Mike Sweeny. The article goes on to say that the second round of cuts includes two first baseman Brian LaHair and Mike Carp and does not include a single word about a Chris Shelton
C Shelton: .605 .871 .516
for the record the stat line reads OBP, SLG and then AVG but does it really matter at this point? they are all over .500 and that with 38 cactus league AB's. 38 is not a large sample size but its in the top third of every invitee. Actually let me put it another way, in sortable stats, he is outside the top ten in AB's but inside the top ten in every other category including leading the team in BB, Third in Home Runs, Total Bases and RBI's with only two strikeouts!!
CHRIS SHELTON FOR M'S 1B IN 09!!!
