    SEATTLE MARINERS NEWS CLIPS February 26, 2011 Smoak’s days of being a surprise about over Posted on February 25, 2011 by John Hickey SportsPressNW.com PEORIA, AZ – At this time last year, Justin Smoak was working out about 10 miles down the road in the Texas Rangers’ spring training camp in Surprise. And there were not going to be any surprises in his Surprise sojourn. He was coming off his first full year in the Texas organization, he’d only played 54 games at Triple-A and the Rangers’ offense seemed set. So in the first week of March, he was reassigned to the club’s minor league organization and he prepared for a full season at Triple-A. Then the surprises started happening, and they’ve never really stopped. Three weeks into the season, the Rangers found themselves in need of a left-hander with power who could play first base. On April 23, Smoak, a switch-hitter with most of his power from the left side, was called up. He struggled a bit, but he was basically a regular in the lineup of a team in first place in the American League West. He played 70 games for the Rangers, hit .209 and hit eight homers in 235 at-bats. Just when it seemed the April surprise might lead to a date in the postseason, fate jumped up and smacked Smoak again on July 9. The Rangers sent him and three Texas minor leaguers – pitchers Josh Lueke and Blake Beavan and infielder Matt Lawson — to Seattle with the Mariners surrendering pitchers Cliff Lee and Mark Lowe in return.

    SEATTLE MARINERS NEWS CLIPS July 5, 2011 Who doesn't like sunny days? M's third baseman Kennedy LARRY LARUE; Staff writer Published: 07/05/1112:05 am The Tacoma News Tribune OAKLAND - When the pop fly went up, third baseman Adam Kennedy moved 10 feet into foul territory and froze like a statue – his glove up, waiting – until the ball plunked down behind him. “I saw it at its height, maybe for an instant on the way down,” the Seattle Mariners infielder said. “When it went into the sun and didn’t come out, there’s really nothing you can do.” As he stood there, did it occur to Kennedy the ball might hit him in the head? “You know it’s a possibility,” he said. An inning later, Oakland’s Jemile Weeks popped one up into foul territory near the stands, and Kennedy took off after it. Sort of. “I saw it off the bat, then it was gone, and I ran toward where I thought it would come down,” he said. It landed near his feet and bounced into the stands. “The fans seemed to enjoy it,” Kennedy said. He couldn’t recall ever completely losing an infield pop fly, and in two innings Monday lost two. “I told (shortstop) Brendan Ryan to get to anything he could, because he had a better angle with the sun, and he caught a couple,” manager Eric Wedge said. “I’ve managed enough games here to know, at a certain time of day, in a certain time of the year, balls just disappear over there.” WORK DAY Wedge called center fielder Franklin Gutierrez into his office for a morning chat , trying to help him take a little stress out of his life.
