What can we expect from Danny Hultzen next year?
-- Mike F., Pitt Meadows, British Columbia
That is a question the Mariners themselves are pondering as the talented southpaw attempts to return from what is now a three-year battle with shoulder issues. The 2011 first-round Draft pick looked pretty good in camp last spring, one year after surgery on his throwing shoulder, but pitched in only three games for Double-A Jackson before being shut down twice with shoulder fatigue.
Hultzen, who has been off since August, isn't progressing as well as hoped, and there's no timetable for his return.
