The Mariners oft-maligned first baseman/"outfielder" has been a force at the plate in the second half. What does it mean for 2016?
Perhaps no single transaction feels like a better encapsulation of the failure of Jack Zduriencik and the 2015 Seattle Mariners than the decision to trade recently acquired catcher Welington Castillo for Vidal Nuno and Mark Trumbo. Despite being acquired to spell the struggling Mike Zunino, Castillo was given a scant 28 PA before being turned over for yet another in Zduriencik's long held infatuation with right-handed power at the expense of everything else.
