Seattle Mariners Need Outfield Depth, Is Aaron Altherr be an Option?
The Seattle Mariners have a lot of talent in their minor league system, particularly in the outfield. But most of that talent is at least a year away and Seattle has some outfield issues now.
The lack of depth in the Mariners outfield is on display right now. When the team sent Mallex Smith down, a lack of quality options may have forced the team to rush Braden Bishop to the big leagues.
Thankfully, there are outside options if the Mariners decide to go that direction. One potential option was recently DFAd by the Philadelphia Phillies and could provide some upside to the team’s bench.
