PEORIA, Ariz. -- Mariners infielder Luis Sardinas, traded twice last year, is looking for a permanent home. He believes he's found one in Seattle, in large part because he can move around the infield.
"I feel great and really appreciative of the opportunity the Mariners are giving me," Sardinas said in Spanish. "My job and my goal is the same: make the team and help the Mariners win."
Sardinas is only 22, but he's already been on quite a journey. He signed with the Rangers as an amateur international free agent at 16 on July 2, 2009, out of Venezuela and made his pro debut in the Rookie-level Arizona League the next year.
