Randy Arozarena is a new addition to this year’s Opening Day roster after being acquired in a midseason trade. Randy provided a nice little boost for the Mariners at the end of the season despite starting poorly for the Rays. Hitting a dismal .211/.318/.394 in Tampa Bay, Randy improved to a nice little .231/.356/.377 with the M’s. Now, clearly the marine layer, curse of the Kingdome, or whatever you want to call it that stops the Mariners from hitting for much power, affected his time in Seattle last year, but the projections look good. I don’t think there’s a reason to believe he won’t be back to the fun, free-swinging ex-Cuban-now-Mexican outfielder we all know and love.
