Knuckling for a shot

Mariner hopeful Charlie Haeger is in camp this year. He is with the team as an NRI, but it trying to make it.  Charlie has been with the White Sox, Padres, and the Dodgers. Charlie does have a nice knuckleball, but I don't think it will help him make the team out of camp. I hope maybe he can hang in Tacoma, and be ready to come up if needed.

A Ray of hope...

Another NRI that is trying to make this Mariners team this year is Chris Ray. I would say the chances of Ray making this team are very good. The guy does have 51 saves in a career with Baltimore, Texas, and San Francisco.

With David Aardsma on the shelf for a while, and Brandon League being shaky at best as a closer, I think Chris could hold the spot down until Aardsma comes back, and then David may have to fight for the spot if Ray is on. Here's hoping that Chris can continue to impress and make the club out of Peoria.
