The south side of Puget Sound Puget Sound (py  `jĕt), arm of the Pacific Ocean, NW Wash., connected with the Pacific by Juan de Fuca Strait, entered through the Admiralty Inlet and extending in two arms c. figured to be where Dusty Wathan and
Jim Horner suited up in their catching equipment. Instead, they traveled

The Mariners are a member of the Western Division of Major League Baseball's American League. From to the present, the Mariners have played in Safeco Field. .

The Pacific Coast League (PCL) is a minor league baseball league operating in the West and Midwest of the United States. It is one of two leagues, along with the International League, playing at the Triple-A level, which is one step below game at Albuquerque. Monahan made a big splash Big Splash could refer to:
``Monahan came down to the Rainiers with a good attitude,'' manager Dave Myers said. ``I believe he's on the (verge) of a good year.'' Much happier to be in Tacoma is Seattle-area native Sean Spencer, who caught the Mariners' eye with a strong 1997 JetHawks season. A hard-throwing left-hander, Spencer is a candidate to reach the big club if the bullpen falters again. His big concern is arm strength after undergoing Tommy John surgery Tommy John surgery, known by doctors as ulnar collateral ligament reconstruction (or UCL), is a surgical procedure in which a ligament in the medial elbow is replaced with a tendon from elsewhere in the body (often from the forearm, hamstring, knee, or foot of the in 1996. ``Spencer is a good closer. I had him at Lancaster. He has a good makeup for the job,'' new Tacoma pitching coach Jim Slaton Also on the Tacoma roster are ex-JetHawks Damaso Marte, Scott Sealy Scott Sealy (born June 4, 1981 in Chaguanas, Trinidad and Tobago) is a football (soccer) forward, who currently plays for the Kansas City Wizards of Major League Soccer.

In all, New Haven's 25-man roster includes 18 ex-JetHawks, 15 from last season's team. The entire 1998 infield of first baseman Cirilo Cruz, second baseman Adonis Harrison, shortstop Ramon Vazquez and third baseman Jason Regan moved together to Double-A. Reigning California League batting champion Brendan Kingman, after paying his dues for five seasons in the low minors, finally gets a crack at Double-A. The Ravens' begin Eastern League play at Norwich tonight. Visalia's vets: When the JetHawks continue their early Northern Division road swing at Visalia on Sunday, a rather young team (by Cal League standards) meets a seasoned Oaks club. While the Oakland A's sent many of the organization's top prospects to league foe Modesto, the Oaks received a plethora of Cal League veterans. Visalia manager Juan Navarrete, who skippered Modesto last year, will have plenty of options with such 1998 Oaks as pitchers Jared Jensen and Marcus Jones and infielders Eddie Lara and Nick Sosa. Migrating south down Highway 99 from Modesto are pitchers Kevin Gregg and Julian Leyva, first baseman Todd Mensik and outfielder Rodney Clifton. |
