Seattle Mariners P Hisashi Iwakuma is beginning the 2012 season in the bullpen, where he will pitch long relief. It was a move that caught many by surprise, but manager Eric Wedge said the team thinks the bullpen is the best place for him to begin his major-league career. "He is going to serve as our long guy, as well as middle relief and, quite frankly, I think that's the best way to transition him this year," the manager said.

Seattle Mariners SP Hisashi Iwakuma struggled with control in his intrasquad outing Tuesday, Feb. 28, allowing three runs to score without recording an out in his second inning of work. "It was really difficult to control my pitches, location-wise, in the second inning," Iwakuma said. "A lot of my first pitches were balls, so I was a little bit nervous about throwing the next pitch. It was making it easier for the hitters to get hits than if I'd thrown strikes on the first pitch."
