Team History:
The Seattle Mariners struggled through their second consecutive 90-loss season as they finished 69-93. After going 12-12 in April, the Mariners stumbled to a 9-18 mark in May and never recovered, posting losing months in June, July and August. Lack of offense plagued the Mariners in 2005, as they ranked last in the American League in hitting (.256) and second-to-last in runs (699). Ichiro Suzuki became the first player in Major League history to begin his career with five straight 200-hit seasons and rookie right-hander Felix Hernandez dazzled in his debut to highlight the Mariners' campaign. Richie Sexson turned in a huge season at the plate with 39 homers and 121 RBIs. In 12 starts, Hernandez posted a 4-4 record with a 2.67 ERA. Jamie Moyer led the club with 13 wins. The Mariners were busy in the offseason, signing lefty Jarrod Washburn to bolster the starting rotation and adding Carl Everett, Matt Lawton and Kenji Johjima (the first catcher from Japan to sign with a Major League organization) to shore up the offense and defense.

Season Preview:
Yuniesky Betancourt seemed to have no play on a grounder in Cleveland last July. But as the shortstop fielded the ball far to his left, he suddenly whirled and fired to third, cutting down Shin-Soo Choo and showing the defensive imagination of Roberto Alomar. Even as the Mariners flounder, Betancourt has established himself as one of baseball's best middle infielders. "He reminds me of Omar Vizquel," says M's coach Carlos Garcia. "You can't teach that. You're born with it." Before Betancourt arrived, Seattle had run through three shortstops in three years. The Mariners won't need to change direction again for a while. If only Felix Hernandez had taken care of himself as well as Seattle took care of him last year. While his stats (12­14, 4.52 ERA, 176 K's in 191 IPs) weren't bad for a 20-year-old, they're not fit for a King. So there was much rejoicing when Hernandez arrived for a January function minus the baby fat. "I'm more confident," he says. So are the M's, who've stopped limiting his innings and expect him to be the No. 1 starter. Now he just needs to live up to the hype. Although he's stuck behind Kenji Johjima for now, 23-year-old catcher Jeff Clement, the high school career home run king (75), could provide second-half pop at DH.
