SEATTLE MARINERS NEWS CLIPS February 26, 2011 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. One day later, after having been introduced in Seattle as the power source the Mariners had been lacking, Smoak was in the Mariners’ starting lineup. In his first 10 days, he hit .296, drilled a couple of homers and seemed to be fitting in. Then the wheels came off. The next 10 days saw him go 2-for-36 (.056), and by the end of the month, he was back in the minor leagues. Talk about mood swings. In a different persona, Smoak could have been Jeckyll and Hyde. But the yo-yo of the 2010 season doesn’t seem to have permanently impacted Smoak, who is in Peoria this time around as the de facto Mariner first baseman, although Smoak is the first to admit that he doesn’t see it that way. “There are a lot of guys in camp who can play,’’ Smoak said Thursday. “I don’t know what will happen. But I know I have to prove myself here. I have to go out and fight for a job or I won’t have one.’’ It’s a good attitude, to be sure, but the reality is that the Mariners need Smoak as much as he needs them. The club needs for Smoak to have some success so the trade of former Cy Young Award winner Lee won’t down as another in a series snafus in Trade Central. He’s a former No. 1 draft pick (11th choice overall in 2008) of the Rangers with a big home run swing. There doesn’t seem to be much doubt about his power, but there is some question whether he has sufficient bat speed to successfully hit for a significant average. And there is no telling yet how good he will (or won’t) be at first base. Page 1 of 26 Those first 20 days in a Seattle uniform were tough on Smoak, as indeed they likely would have been on anyone who’d just been traded for one of the best pitchers in the league. “The whole season was kind of a shock in some ways,’’ Smoak said. “I wasn’t expecting a lot of what happened, from getting to the big leagues so quickly to being traded when I was. It wasn’t as good a year as I wanted. “At the same time, I learned a lot about my body and about what it is going to take to play up here. I’d never played more than about 100 games in a season before being around for 162 last year. I wasn’t hurt, but I did get tired. I think my work this winter should make me more ready to play 162.’’ NOTES: Center fielder Franklin Gutierrez, who went back to Seattle Wednesday night for medical tests, should be back on the field Saturday. Seattle should get the results of most of the testing done on Gutierrez in an effort to isolate the problem that has led to him having continued stomach troubles. … The Mariners’ annual intrasquad game went to Team Ichiro Suzuki over Team Jack Wilson, 3-1. Ichiro had a couple of singles while Luis Rodriguez and Miguel Olivo had RBI doubles. … Although manager Eric Wedge said he wouldn’t be putting any plays on, the Mariners ran on their own, which might be a good recipe for the season. There were five steals, including two by left fielder Michael Saunders, two by the other left fielder, Milton Bradley, and a steal of third by catcher Olivo with a head-first slide. Wedge said wanted his team to be aggressive, and he had no problem with Olivo going head-first. “I don’t want to see them going head-first at first base or at home plate,’’ Wedge said. “You see some really nasty injuries that way. But on the bases, it’s OK.’’ … Reliever Dan Cortes was the only one of the 10 pitchers who didn’t get in a full inning. He reached his pitch limit (25) before getting there. … Cortes and Josh Lueke, two young pitchers trying to impress enough to make the opening day roster, had the most trouble Friday. John Hickey is a Senior MLB Writer for AOL FanHouse (www.fanhouse.com) Last updated February 25, 2011 3:14 p.m. PT Kennedy impresses Mariners facing up to arrest By TIM BOOTH AP SPORTS WRITER PEORIA, Ariz. -- During the middle of the night, while waiting to be released from a jail cell, Adam Kennedy decided he wasn't going to run from his arrest for investigation of driving under the influence. "Anything you do in life eventually it comes to the forefront. You have to talk about it," said Kennedy, who's trying to win a utility infielder job with the Seattle Mariners. "So let's just do it you know and get it out of the way and worry about baseball being here. It's been nice to not have to talk about it here at all, just baseball." Kennedy finds himself in Mariners camp with a real shot at leaving Arizona with the big league club. He's a veteran, a former American League Championship Series MVP who can play three positions in an infield that needs a utility player. But aside from what Kennedy can possibly provide on the field, the way he handled his arrest left his new club impressed. "For him to stand up and face the music like he did, take full responsibility for his actions, he handled it as professionally as you can handle that circumstance," Seattle general manager Jack Zduriencik said. Kennedy was arrested on Jan. 26 while driving home from dinner in Newport Beach, Calif. It came just 16 days after signing his deal with the Mariners - far from the best first impression to leave on a new ball club. Page 2 of 26 If being locked up until 6:24 a.m. was bad, Kennedy's day only got worse. He couldn't get in touch with Zduriencik, who was speaking at a Mariners pre-spring training luncheon. TMZ.com broke the news of Kennedy's arrest, splashing it across the front of its website before Kennedy spoke with his new GM. Zduriencik was notified of the story only minutes before he was asked by reporters to comment. "By the time I got up to my office I had a phone call from Adam Kennedy and I thought that said volumes about him," Zduriencik said. Kennedy didn't stop there. After apologizing profusely to Zduriencik, Kennedy took the step of calling all the reporters who cover the Mariners to speak about his arrest. He was candid and apologetic, repeatedly saying he made a mistake. "I didn't really have to say a lot. He said it all. He said it to me. He knew the consequences. He knew he started off on the wrong foot," Zduriencik said. "He knew this was something that embarrassed the organization, so we talked about what he wanted to do about it and he said he wanted to stand up and be a man about this thing." Kennedy's situation isn't completely resolved. He had a court appearance scheduled for earlier this week postponed. Asked how he thought Kennedy handled his arrest, Seattle manager Eric Wedge said, "we're beyond that." "He's here to make a club and that's what we're focused on," he said. And that's where Kennedy is focused as well. He's playing on a minor league deal for the first time in his career after bouncing between St. Louis, Washington and Oakland the last three seasons. A year ago with the Nationals, Kennedy hit .249 and drove in 31 runs. On the offensively challenge Mariners, those numbers would have ranked fifth in average and eighth in RBIs. In the field, his versatility is important, having played 51 games at first base last season and 82 games at third base in 2009 to go along with his natural spot at second base.

  • A's News Clips, Monday, February 20, 2012 by Joe Stiglich
    A’s News Clips, Monday, February 20, 2012 Oakland A's have plenty to do in camp before opener By Joe Stiglich, Oakland Tribune For those who think spring training is merely for players to knock the winter rust off, consider the A's situation. Their to-do list includes identifying a starting first baseman and designated hitter, choosing as many as three pitchers for their five-man rotation, finding a closer and sorting out a crowded outfield. Then consider they have 11 fewer days to make those decisions than they normally would, thanks to a March 28 season opener against the Seattle Mariners in Tokyo. The A's play their final Cactus League game March 21 and fly to Japan the next day. Were they not heading abroad, they probably would have played their final Cactus League exhibition April 1. Perhaps that's why A's manager Bob Melvin was on the move during the first pitchers-and-catchers workout Sunday, observing as many players as he could. "It's one thing if you have a starting group at every position and you're evaluating young guys," Melvin said. "We're going to have some guys that are integral parts of our team that we're going to have to evaluate." The A's will have 21 Cactus League games on which to base those evaluations before flying to Tokyo on March 22. Interesting to note is that the A's could have bought themselves another week to sort out their roster. The Mariners were granted permission by Major League Baseball to open camp Feb.
