Mariners Fact or Fiction

[Porter]

Time to resurface this thread:

Richie Sexson could get even better after his flu is over.

[MarinersFan87]

A week later, fact, obviously.

Eddie G will still be the closer in September.

[Element]

Fact. 3 good outings in a row.

Beltre will have over 40 HR this year.

[MarinersFan87]

Fiction, 30-35 sounds about right, he will turn it around soon, but 40 is kind of high.

Jose Lopez will be the starting SS in September.

Yeah, that is about what i was thinking. I was just being a little hopeful. I still think he'll hit over 40 next year.

Jose Lopez will be the starting SS in September.

Fiction. But he should be. He will probably be behind Pokey by that point in the season.

Fact or Fiction: With the addition of MF87's sig today, the Mariners board has the best sigs of any teams board.

FACT!!!

Felix is on the roster by July.

[Porter]

Fiction- He will be no eariler than September.

Chris Snelling will be back in the ML.

[MarinersFan87]

Fact, someone is going to go down with an injury and Snelling is more ready than Choo so as long as he stays healthy he will be here eventually. Plus he is hitting .474 in 38 AB's, the kid can hit the ball, although it remains to be seen if he is anything more than a AAAA player.

Ichiro will lead the ML in batting average.

[Porter]

Fact- Roberts and Guillen cant possibly keep up their torrid paces?!?!? can they?

Jeremy Reed will hit at least .270 this season

[MarinersFan87]

Fact, he is a talented hitter, he has proven that at times this year and all of last year in his call up, he will adjust to the pitchers, and look at the protection he has, Ich in front of him, Beltre behind him. .280 is my guess where he ends up at.

Miguel Olivo catches at least 100 games.

[Porter]

Fact- by frickin default. Dan Wilson wont catch 60 games.

Miguel Olivo will strike out 125 times or more this season.

[griffeyfan3]

fact

ichiro will hit .390 or better.

[Porter]

Fiction- I think he will hit .360-.375, people will start walking him at high rates as the season goes on.

There will be 5 players with 20 HRs on the ML roster.

[MarinersFan87]

Fiction, only 4 (Boonie, Sexson, Ibanez, Beltre).

Ichiro will be the only player to bat over .300.

[Porter]

Fact- barely....its sad

Jeff Nelson will be sent to China for a baseball to be named later.
