Offense:
1. RF - Ichiro Suzuki
2. 3B - Chone Figgins
3. CF - Franklin Gutierrez
4. DH - Jack Cust/Milton Bradley
5. 1B - Justin Smoak
6. C - Miguel Olivo
7. LF - Michael Saunders/Milton Bradley
8. 2B - Brendan Ryan
9. SS - Jack Wilson
Obviously this is atrocious, but the good news is that this offense can't get any worse. Last year they finished last in the majors in runs, hits, doubles, triples, home runs, batting average, on base percentage, and slugging. But there is hope, Chone Figgins has to play better then he did last when he batted .259, Justin Smoak will play better with a full year, and don't get used to Brendan Ryan and Jack Wilson at the end of the line up as minor league superstar Dustin Ackley will be playing 2nd and Nick Franklin will both be finishing the year as the starting 2nd and ss by the end of the year.
Pitching:
1. Felix Hernandez
2. Jason Vargas
3. Doug Fister
4. Erik Bedard
5. Luke French
CL: David Aardisma
There pitching staff is this as of right now but expect Michael Pineda to start the season as the 5th or come into the season as the 5th. Obviously Felix Hernandez is great, he's the best pitcher in baseball and the reigning Cy Young winner (should be 2 time Cy Young winner if you ask me, Fuck Grienke) Jason Vargas and Doug Fister are both serviceable guys with era's under 4.2. Erik Bedard is a giant question mark and is do for another let down season and I'm waiting for Aardisma to suck.
Overall:
I like the future of Seattle and I do think they improve somewhat this year but I don't see them being able to turn it completely around. But Felix walks away with the Cy Young again.
70-92
