In what will likely be a transition year for the Mariners at both second base and shortstop, will they be able to find any future value amongst their current crop of middle infielders? It’s a tough question to answer, and one that has fallen by the wayside in a sea of uncertainties surrounding the team.
As it stands, Dee Gordon will be the Mariners’ starting second baseman to begin the season. Gordon is, of course, coming off the worst season of his career. The struggles he endured weren’t entirely his fault, however, as he played the majority of the season with a broken toe suffered in May.
