After a look through the dozen non-roster pitchers in Mariners camp, today we shift focus to the fifteen position players outside of the 40-man roster that received an invite. This group should be much more familiar, featuring several names that came over via trade this offseason, recent draftees, and of course Ichiro!. While it’s unlikely that any of these guys not named Ichiro will make the big club out of spring training, there’s plenty here to keep an eye on, and it should be a fun first look into the future.
Catchers:
Joe DeCarlo
The catcher of the interim, Joey Deeks has scarcely garnered significant acclaim, and yet at every level has provided an able bat and increasingly passable defense.
