The Mariners are in a interesting position when it comes to choosing who should be the starter at first base. They can choose from a seasoned MLB veteran in Adam Lind, a Korean veteran and folk hero in Dae-ho Lee or a recently called-up rookie that didn’t play his first full MLB game until mid-September in Dan Vogelbach. And that’s not even mentioning the free agent market.
Lind has been a reliable left-handed power bat over the years, but this season his batting average has dropped too low. Lind’s .239 average was his third worst in his career, his second lowest when batting in at least one hundred games.
