有幾個有趣的問題。 I heard in December that the Mariners were going to trade Sexson and Rafael Soriano for Tim Hudson and Jeff Francoeur. Whatever happened to that trade proposal？ -- Amy W., Ronan, Mont. Most trade rumors that circulate during the offseason are either fabricated or not consummated for one reason or another. From what I understand, a Sexson-Soriano for Hudson-Francoeur deal was never discussed, but Soriano for Horacio Ramirez was and that's the one that worked out. If Spring Training is any indication, the left-handed Ramirez could become one of the biggest steals of the season. 啊哈哈哈（苦笑）只能希望小拉米真的能夠在季賽投出水準囉。 想搶劫 JS 不是件容易的事啊 XD 不知道 Rafael Soriano 在勇士適應得怎麼樣？ 另外也有球迷注意到牛棚不穩的問題： It seems to me that a majority of the Mariners' losses this spring have come in the seventh or eighth innings. I know it's Spring Training and [manager Mike] Hargrove is trying to work and develop the younger players, but is there any cause for concern？ -- Brian H., Albuquerque, N.M. Relax, Brian. The fact that the team is losing a lot of games in the late innings this spring is more of an indication that the depth in the Minor League system needs to be improved than a red flag for the Major League team. A better indication will come the final week of camp, when the regulars are playing together for six or seven innings and the relievers are slotted into their regular-season roles. 我覺得說得滿中肯的，農場荒蕪的問題要趕快改善才行。 （突然想起 Chris Snelling，今年春訓成績 .310/.432/.690，3HR，11RBI） 不過就今年牛棚的主要戰力而言，Putz 狀況不明，Sherril 跟 Reitsma 都不大理想， 期待 Arthur Rhodes 大爆發嗎？ 囧 其他消息： 1.Mark Lowe 說如果這週末檢查順利，下週就可以繼續投球，而他是希望能在七月復出。 2.在春訓營表現火熱的 LaHair，官方定位是 Sexson 四年合約屆滿後的接班人，但今年 如果球隊需要左打，他可能是被拉上來的第一人選。 --
