Zoning in on the 2016 Mariners
After a look yesterday at a young shortstop, up today is another: it’s Chris Taylor, the 25-year-old who’s played with the Mariners in parts of the past two seasons.
For the second year in a row, Taylor comes to Spring Training looking a crack at the Opening Day roster, this time competing for the utility infielder spot with, among others, Luis Sardinas. Last year, he was off to a very solid start before a stray pitch led to a broken bone in his wrist, derailing his spring.
