SEATTLE -- Mariners general manager Jerry Dipoto talks glowingly about the ace potential of James Paxton, the durability and capability of Mike Leake and Erasmo Ramirez, and the upside of young starters Marco Gonzales, Andrew Moore and Ariel Miranda.
Fans may question what he sees as the strength of the returning rotation, but Dipoto firmly believes that group will more than hold its own in the American League battles this season.
One concern he does share, however, is the health of Felix Hernandez.
