The Mariners return home tonight to square off against the team with whom they share a Spring Training complex. I am always a little extra-invested in the Padres players because when I go to games at ST, a lot of them wind up being Padres games by dint of the shared stadium; also, since Seattle and San Diego always make up the same Arizona Fall League team (go, Peoria Javelinas! Skunk Pigs for life!), there are usually a few prospects I’m familiar with from that team who become special favorites. This was mostly an excuse to seed the article I will be writing next Monday about how to go to the Arizona Fall League, so be on the lookout for that.
