First of all, we learned that the Mariners, Thyago Vieira, was a Jack Zduriencik find, not a Jerry Dipoto diamond in the rough. Which gives me mixed emotions about a player I thoroughly enjoy.
Secondly, Vieira struggled mightily in his next two spring training outings, mostly because of command issues which have resurfaced from previous years.
During his second stint on the bump this spring training, Vieira walked three Oakland Athletics batters, giving up one run, on one hit, in an inning of work. He did, however, strike out two in that inning.
