The month of May wasn’t the easiest for the Seattle Mariners. The highest highs were all but negated by the lowest lows, and multiple significant personnel changes occurred, drastically changing the look of the Mariners for the time being.
If this team is going to fully turn things around and at least make a push at a winning record, improvements need to be made quickly. June will be friendlier, schedule-wise, as the Mariners play 18 of their 27 games at Safeco Field where they’ve played much better this season. The Mariners also play five teams that currently own losing records, so an improvement in the win column can be expected.
If the M’s continue their slumping ways, skipper Eric Wedge may find himself out of a job midseason.
With a new month ready to begin, let’s take a look at letter grades for every player for the month of May.
