Mariner Farm Report
Recently acquired first baseman Craig Wilson has had a hot start in Tacoma homering in back-to-back games. Makes me wonder if he will last down in Tacoma much longer with the Mariners Jose Vidro/Miguel Cairo rotation at 1st. Wilson has batted .500 in three games going 7-for-14 with two homers and three RBI along with four runs scored.
Word is that Wladimir Balentien has been playing a surprisingly decent Center Field for the Rainiers. He is still hitting for a low average (.234), but has managed four home-runs and eleven RBI’s over his last ten games.
Check out this stat line on Mariners second round draft pick Dennis Raben; playing outfield for Class-A Everett. In ten games Raben is batting .429 (15-for-35) with one homer and eight RBI. Raben has added eight doubles and shows a great eye at the plate with nine walks. He appears to be on the fast track so far; but it is class-A and it has only been ten games. But in a horrible Mariners season so far its OK to get excited.
