With the third overall pick of the Major League Baseball draft Monday, the Mariners Florida catcher Mike Zunino.
Zunino, 21, has long been linked to the Mariners, and is considered the top college position player in the draft. He leads the Gators in virtually every category, with a .316 average that included 27 doubles, 18 home runs and 60 runs batted in in 62 games. Florida is playing in the NCAA tournament. There was concern over Zunino's .255 average in SEC games, but the Mariners obviously liked what they've seen of the 6-foot-2, 220-pounder, whose father, Greg, is a Reds scout.
"Mike is a sturdy, blue-collar, talented defensive receiver with extra-base offensive potential," Mariners scouting director Tom McNamara said in a release. "He is a winning player, and will be a good fit with the Mariners. We look forward to having him in our organization and working his way towards being part of our Major League club in the future."
Zunino is a three-year letter winner who is a semifinalist for the 2012 Golden Spikes Award, the **** Howser Trophy, and the Johnny Bench Award. He helped lead the Gators to a three-game sweep in NCAA regional play last weekend.
The Houston Astros started the draft on a surprising note by taking Carlos Correa, a high school shortstop from Puerto Rico. Most mock drafts had them selecting Stanford right-hander Mark Appel.
The Minnesota Twins, with the second pick, pounced on Georgia high school outfielder Byron Buxton, who most analysts believe has the most potential of any player in the draft.
I have thought that the past couple seasons. Time to move o and relegate him to the back of the lineup for the time being.Originally Posted by finnns2003
Ichiro, unfortunately, is finished. As one of his biggest fans, pains me to type that.
[h3]Felix Hernandez, Mariners (strained back, 6/10)[/h3]
The Mariners did the smart thing by holding Hernandez out of his scheduled start. His back was still acting up on Monday, when he was scheduled to do his side work. It made for an effective "deadline" -- miss the side, miss the start -- and Hernandez didn't seem to fight the decision. The medical staff doesn't think this is serious, but the pain/spasm cycle is a difficult one to break at times. The big worry beyond the immediate is that Hernandez loses some flexibility and changes his mechanics, leading to an increased injury risk. The medical staff has a couple days to work before the M's will need to make much of a move, so expect some more clarity by the end of the week.

Yeah he's still raw as hell, he'll figure it out in due time.Originally Posted by 651akathePaul
Pujols didn't even bat an eye at the breaking ball Pryor threw before he double that slider off the wall. I called a HR when I saw that and wasn't far off. Really good hitters should continue to get a read on him as he keeps pitching. That's what I feel by just watching him.
