Steady Saunders making progress
Mike Saunders was a very energetic little kid.
So energetic that his parents signed him up for any sport they could think of, including hockey, volleyball, lacrosse, basketball, soccer and baseball.
"I eventually pared them down to two by high school, hockey and baseball," said Saunders, the Mariners' 11th-round draft pick in 2004.
"Finally, I gave up hockey and decided on baseball."
It appears to have been a good move for the 20-year-old outfielder from Victoria, B.C. He is making steady progress in the Mariners' system and is having a good year at high-level Class A High Desert, hitting .308 with 10 homers and 49 runs batted in, and leading the team with 18 stolen bases.
