PEORIA, Ariz. — As Max Povse’s 6-foot-8 frame unfolds in his windup, and he comes down the pitcher’s mound — an imposing motion of legs, arms and length, it brings back memories of a former Mariner with a similar build.
No, not Randy Johnson. Povse isn’t that tall or left-handed or possesses a 99-mph fastball and exploding slider.
Think more recently. Think of a regrettable trade from general manager Jack Zduriencik that yielded minimal returns for the Mariners.
Ok, so that doesn’t narrow it down.
