It feels like Emerson Hancock and Logan Evans entered camp each vying for the role of right-handed sixth starter for the Mariners (Jhonathan Díaz is the left-handed sixth starter, a role that will have to be surgically removed from him). While not as intriguing as the Matt Brash - George Kirby battle for the fifth starter a few years ago (remember those days?), it’s nonetheless been one I’ve been watching with interest, given Hancock’s draft pedigree vs. Evans’s recent surge. Today, Hancock seemed like the clear winner of the day, turning around a shaky start and showing off some of the new tricks in his bag.
