Mariners to rely on Segura at SS, in No. 2 hole

With Spring Training rapidly approaching, we're taking an in-depth look at the Mariners' roster. This is the third part of an Around the Horn series looking at each position on the team. Today: shortstop.

The big question: How does Jean Segura adapt to hitting second?

Segura made a solid first impression in Seattle last year, batting .300 and stealing 22 bases while filling the leadoff role after being acquired from the D-backs. This year, he'll be asked to bat second behind general manager Jerry Dipoto's newest addition, speedster Dee Gordon, and that tandem should present a pretty formidable combo atop the order.
