James Paxton vs. Clayton Richard, 12:10 (audio on Mariners.com) and also
Andrew Moore vs. Wily Peralta, 12:05 (audio on Mariners Radio Network)
The first split squad day features two moderately interesting pitching battles. Or at least, as interesting as it gets in February in which both starters will go 2 IP at most.
At one point early in last season, Clayton Richard and James Paxton were neck and neck in Baseball Prospectus’ DRA value metric. They got there in very different ways, of course: Paxton struck everyone out and held a very good Astros line-up in check.
