Seattle Mariners Fan

The tarp is down at Coors Field, but I’m fairly confident they’ll get the game in — maybe not with a stoppage or two, however. It’s not raining right now, though there’s a forecast of thunderstorms at about 4 — two hours after the first pitch. I’ve heard they’ll only last an hour, but who knows.

Here’s today’s Mariner lineup against Colorado rookie southpaw Christian Friedrich:

Dustin Ackley 2B
Casper Wells LF
Ichiro RF
Jesus Montero C
Kyle Seager 3B
Alex Liddi 1B
Michael Saunders CF
Brendan Ryan SS
Jason Vargas LHP

Some GMs believe the White Sox have set an extraordinarily high asking price for right-hander Gavin Floyd, ESPN.com’s Buster Olney reported last night. Olney passes on more rumors in today’s Insider-only column; here they are:

Stephen Drew will likely miss Opening Day as he recovers from last summer’s ankle injury, and the Diamondbacks have started evaluating other long-term solutions at short. They’ve scouted Ian Desmond of the Nationals and could have interest in Cliff Pennington of the Athletics. Drew’s contract includes a $10MM mutual option for 2013, so replacing him isn’t a top priority just yet.
Scouts say Mariners second baseman Dustin Ackley looks “exceptional” this spring.
The Cardinals could pursue free agent right-hander Roy Oswalt aggressively if Chris Carpenter isn’t ready for Opening Day.
