Mariners Favor Ben Williamson for Third Base Position
As spring training approaches, the Seattle Mariners are gearing up for important position battles. One of the key positions is third base, where Ben Williamson has emerged as the favorite to secure the role.
Ben Williamson: The Leading Candidate
Ben Williamson’s status as the top contender for the third base position comes after Eugenio Suarez’s recent departure. Suarez signed a one-year contract with the Cincinnati Reds, leaving the Mariners looking for a new starter.
Williamson’s Performance
Last season, Williamson showed promise with his defensive skills. However, he faced challenges at the plate, which may affect his overall contribution this season. His defensive contributions will be critical as he aims to solidify his place on the roster.
Competition for the Position
- Colt Emerson: The Mariners’ top prospect, Emerson is also in the mix for playing time throughout the infield.
- Brendan Donovan: Seattle has expressed interest in Donovan, which could further intensify the competition for the third base role.
As the Mariners prepare for spring training, all eyes will be on Williamson and his efforts to claim the starting third base position. The internal competition, coupled with external interests, sets the stage for an exciting season ahead.
