Happy March, everyone! Opening Day may still be a few weeks away, but the countdown can begin in earnest. For today’s Cactus League matchup, the Mariners will be hosting the Rockies in Peoria, and Bryan Woo will be making his first start of spring. Can I get a “WOOOOOOO!” in the comments?
This lineup is less of a B-squad and more of a D-squad, but Ryan Bliss getting the start at shortstop is worth a look, and we’ll get another chance to take a look at Josh Rojas’s hot corner defense. As for the Rockies, they’ll be rolling with one-time ace Kyle Freeland, and a lineup that could be pretty close to what they run out on Opening Day.
