Despite the slow start, the Seattle Mariners will be playoff contenders in 2013 because of these two reasons:
1. Harang and Saunders won't be in Seattle for much longer
 |
| Taijuan Walker |
The two weak links in the Mariners pitching staff, Aaron Harang and Joe Saunders, will not be with the team for much longer, as the Mariners have Taijuan Walker, James Paxton and Danny Hultzen waiting in the minor leagues right now. But once Walker, Hultzen and Paxton are in the Majors, they will be there for good!
2. Mike Zunino
The third overall pick in the 2012 draft, Zunino is the Mariners catcher of the future. He is clearly ready to play at the Major League level and should snag the starting catching job from Jesus Montero, a catcher who can't catch, and Kelly Shoppach, a catcher who can catch, but strikes out far too often. Zunino should be in the Majors anytime. Zunino has Montero's hitting potential and Shoppach's good defensive abilities. Zunino also gives the Mariners a good young hitting catcher, something they haven't had since they traded Jason Varitek to Boston back in 1997.
