U.S.S. Mariner @ Spring Training

Dave from U.S.S. Mariner is in Peoria, Arizona checking out a bit of the minor league camp.

Notes from Peoria, Day Two

He has a note on Alex Liddi:
Speaking of Alex Liddi, he was interesting to watch - he has a totally different swing than most of the M’s, as he drops his hands, dips his shoulder, and has a pretty noticable uppercut as he attemps to drive every pitch he swings at. It works, too, as he generated significant power and hit a lot of rockets to the deepest parts of the outfield. The swing was somewhat reminiscent of guys like Ryan Klesko. If he makes the majors, you’ll hear a lot of comments about how he doesn’t get cheated at the plate. I’d like to see him against real pitching and see if he makes adjustments to handle the low-and-in pitch.

Liddi, who wrapped up 2006 with the Rattlers, may be headed back to Appleton for the start of 2007.
