Guillermo Quiroz, C – Made the major league roster in Seattle and is backing up Kenji Johjima after the Mariners claimed him off the waiver wire.

Rob Crosby, OF/INF – In 18 at bats so far this season, Crosby is sporting a healthy .333 batting average!

Lee Gronkiewicz, RHPNo matter how well he does, he will still have BJ Ryan ahead of him for the next five years. He has pitched three innings in two games and has one save.  He needs to do well and hope for a trade.
