Michael Saunders hit a two-run homer off Graham Godfrey in the Mariners' 8-5 win over the A's on Friday. Saunders opened camp as a long shot to make the Mariners, but he has a real shot now with Franklin Gutierrez set to miss the first month. Apart from Gutierrez, he's the best defensive center fielder the Mariners have. His bat has been a huge disappointment, but if he can put together a good spring, then he could begin the season starting against righties in a platoon with Casper Wells.
