Mariners looking for a little extra help in the outfield

If you looked closely last week during one of the Mariners batting practice sessions you may have noticed an unfamiliar face or two in the outfield. No, it wasn't Mike Baxter or Daniel Robertson or one of the eight non-roster invitee pitchers shagging during batting practice, these guys weren't on any roster. They weren't in uniform either, rather they were wearing Mariners spring training "Train to Reign" tee-shirts and blue shorts. These guys were part of the Mariners new "Shaggers Program," people who signed up to come out and help shag balls (retrieve balls hit to the outfield and throw them in) during batting practice.
