Mariners Analysis: Is it Time For Dae-ho Lee to Play Everyday?

The Seattle Mariners have not had a whole lot of recent success at first base. From Justin Smoak to Casey Kotchman, we have been underwhelmed by their offensive performance.

This year has been different. After bringing in Adam Lind from Milwaukee and signing Dae-ho Lee out of Korea, it was hard to predict just how this would play out.

So far, Lind hasn’t been terrible, but then again, he also hasn’t been great. He’s hitting .245 with 7 homeruns and 24 RBI in 155 at-bats. He has performed better than previous first basemen, but that isn’t necessarily the output you want from the first baseman of a playoff contender.
