In Tacoma, the current outfield options are slim. Ian Miller seems destined to make a MLB debut next year on the back of his speed and defense alone, but he’ll need to continue showing an improved bat in AAA before he receives an extended look. Kyle Waldrop has 24 MLB at-bats in his career already, but lacks the top-end defense of most of his fellow outfield mates, and while he’s a reasonable bet to be re-signed, he’s currently a minor league free agent.
Recently, kennerdoleman wrote a nice piece on Jacob Hannemann, the former 3rd-round pick who Seattle claimed off waivers in September.
