Eric Wedge Fantasy Baseball News, Notes, Rumors and Statistics
The latest Eric Wedge MLB and fantasy baseball news
Fri, 18 May 2012 01:07:38 -0700 Seattle Mariners C Miguel Olivo (groin) is rejoining the team Friday, May 18, but it is strictly for evaluation. "There's no chance he's coming off the disabled list," manager Eric Wedge said. "We just want to test him over a few days ourselves before we send him out on a rehab assignment."
Sun, 13 May 2012 00:49:41 -0700 Seattle Mariners SS Brendan Ryan, who is batting .149 this season, was rested Saturday, May 12, by manager Eric Wedge, and Wedge hinted more might happen in the future if Ryan doesn't turn it around. "Is there a level he has to reach to stay in the lineup?" Wedge asked, repeating a question. "You just can't be an out up there. There's no reason he shouldn't be better. He's not 25, he's 30 years old and it's time he figured out what he needs to do to be successful."
Thu, 10 May 2012 00:53:04 -0700 Seattle Mariners SP Blake Beavan (elbow) still had a swollen right elbow Wednesday, May 9, two days after being hit by a line drive. "The plan now is for me to throw a bullpen session Friday, throw lightly Saturday and see where we are," Beavan said. "I feel great right now." Manager Eric Wedge indicated Beavan may be eased back into the lineup.
Thu, 10 May 2012 00:50:54 -0700 Seattle Mariners 1B Justin Smoak remained in the batting order on Wednesday, May 9, despite his 2-for-17 performance during the team's homestand and .178 season batting average. "Last year at this time, he was our best hitter," Mariners manager Eric Wedge said. "My confidence level hasn't dropped in him. I still believe he can hit."
Thu, 26 Apr 2012 00:46:32 -0700 The Seattle Mariners have worked out a timetable for OF Mike Carp (shoulder) in Tacoma, and it includes playing a little first base, outfield and designated hitter in the next four or five days. "It might even be a week, depending on how he feels. He's had some soreness, but we checked him out and it's all good," Mariners manager Eric Wedge said. "We'll get him back soon, though not as soon as Mike would like."
Thu, 26 Apr 2012 00:43:46 -0700 Seattle Mariners 3B Chone Figgins did not start Wednesday, April 25, against the Detroit Tigers. Instead 2B Dustin Ackley led off and SS Brendan Ryan batted second. IF Alex Liddi was the third baseman, batting sixth, and 1B Justin Smoak was back after a two-game absence. "Figgy needed a day off, we wanted to get Ackley up top and give Ryan a look batting second," Mariners manager Eric Wedge said. "We wanted Jesus Montero to catch Felix tonight and Miguel Olivo to catch Hector Noesi (today)."
Wed, 28 Mar 2012 00:09:39 -0700 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.
Mon, 12 Mar 2012 01:09:25 -0700 Seattle Mariners 2B Dustin Ackley may bat second in the lineup as much as possible during spring games, as manager Eric Wedge has indicated that is where he'd like Ackley to be in the batting order. Ackley batted leadoff during a recent spring game.
Wed, 26 Oct 2011 16:19:35 -0700 The entire Seattle Mariners coaching staff will return under manager Eric Wedge next season. The Boston Red Sox were rumored to be interested in Wedge as their next manager.
Tue, 13 Sep 2011 01:52:37 -0700 Seattle Mariners manager Eric Wedge batted 3B Kyle Seager in the second spot Monday, Sept. 12, against the New York Yankees, and he moved SS Brendan Ryan all the way to eighth.
