The ice has been broken. The Seattle Mariners have signed their first new players of the 2011 season. Without further ado, I present...our new minor league contracts for veteran reliever Justin Miller and utility infielder Sean Kazmar!Ok, maybe not the most exciting stuff in the world. Miller looks to be a semi-decent strike-thrower, but certainly nothing compared to the Corteses, Luekes and Varvaros of our existing minor league ranks. Kazmar is a young infielder we snatched out of the Padres system, where he spent all of the past two years toiling at Triple-A. Looking at his numbers, he seems to have a little bit of power, a little bit of speed, but nothing that will ever make him more than a passable bench guy. Basically, he's Josh Wilson all over again. So, now we have two of them. Wonderful.
Both these guys will be invited to spring training. If I had to guess, I'd say Kazmar has a better chance to making the team than Miller. But hey, Miller does have all this working in his favor. Between League and Miller, we could have the most tattooed bullpen in the game!
