Well-traveled spring training surprise Donn Roach stating his case to be a part of Mariners’ bullpen

Well-traveled right-handed reliever Donn Roach has been one of the surprises of the Mariners' training camp and appears set for a spot in the team's opening day bullpen.

The list of teams Mariners relief pitcher Donn Roach has suited up for the last two years reads like the stereotypical travelogue of a player caught in that frustrating netherworld between Class AAA and the Major Leagues.

El Paso, Iowa, Louisville, Buffalo on the Class AAA side, with 17 appearances in San Diego and one with the Chicago Cubs thrown in for good measure.

Toss in his latest move — signing with the Mariners in December — and Roach has been part of five different Major League organizations since 2014.
