Why didn't I think of this earlier

The other leagues have notebooks, too. What is in the notebooks about the other teams in the Seattle system?

PCL:

Tacoma Rainiers (Seattle Mariners)

THE WEEK IN REVIEW: With a 5-2 showing last week, the Rainiers held second place in the Pacific Northern Division.

WHO'S HOT/NOT: SS Oswaldo Navarro hit .324 (11-for-34) over 10 games. ... RHP R.A. Dickey has pitched 14 1/3 innings over his last two starts, going 1-1 with a 4.40 ERA. ... 1B Bryan LaHair batted .056 (1-for-18) over a five-game span.

DOUBLE WHAMMY: Since being promoted from Double-A West Tennessee at the beginning of the month, Shawn Garrett has played four different positions for the Rainiers. But in two games of Tacoma's four-game sweep in Omaha last week, he played the role of hero. Twice in three days, the 29-year-old hit final-inning, three-run homers off Royals closer Neal Musser. In the second game of a doubleheader last Sunday, his three-run drive in the top of the seventh gave the Rainiers a 3-2 victory. On Tuesday, he broke a 1-1 tie with another three-run blast in the ninth, sending Tacoma to a 4-1 win. Garrett has hit only one other homer this season, with West Tennessee on April 28.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK: "It's going to cross your mind, because we just saw it a couple of days ago." --Manager Daren Brown to the Omaha World-Herald on whether he thought Garrett could homer a second time.

California League:

High Desert Mavericks (Seattle Mariners)

THE WEEK THAT WAS: The Mavs went 3-4 on the week to sit in a three-way tie atop the South at 19-24. All five teams in the division are under .500 and within two games of each other. High Desert's 5.63 ERA is still last in the league.

WHO'S HOT? 3B Matt Mangini went 5-for-5 on May 11. ... OF Greg Halman (see below) had four homers in his last six games, and his 1.000 slugging percentage in that span topped the league. ... 1B Johan Limonta was promoted to Double-A West Tenn, but his .319 average lives on as eighth in the league. ... RHP Kyle Parker ranked ninth in the league with a 3.29 ERA, and his 48 strikeouts were good for third. He tossed seven innings of three-hit ball May 15.

DUTCH TREAT: Multi-tooled outfielder Greg Halman, who hails from the Netherlands, has been getting the job done with his bat and his feet. His two solo homers (giving him 10 long balls on the season) accounted for the club's lone runs in its 8-2 loss to Bakersfield on May 13. It was the 20-year-old's third career multi-homer game. He's also been very effective when he hasn't just been trotting around the bases. Through May 17, he'd stolen 17 bases without getting caught, putting him in a tie for third in the league.
