Player Notes
November 25, 2006
The Mariners signed Willie Bloomquist to a one-year extension through 2008. Bloomquist hit .247 with 16 steals in 251 at-bats last season. He will once again be a utilityman next season.
August 24, 2006
It appears as if the Mariners have gone back to a lefty-righty platoon in center field, according to the Mariners website. Bloomquist will get the start in centerfield against southpaws, while Ichiro will shift to center against righties to make room for Chris Snelling in right field.
August 8, 2006
Willie Bloomquist has started three of the last five games in center field, according to the Seattle Times. "It's certainly not a move-Adam Jones-out-of-center-field move," manager Mike Hargrove said of last night's lineup. "Bloomquist needs playing time, as well." With Jones hitting just .204 this season, Bloomquist will likely continue to get plenty of time in center.
July 17, 2006
While manager Mike Hargrove said that Willie Bloomquist will still play at least twice a week, he has likely lost his starting job against lefties in center field, according to the Mariners website. "Willie is going to play some center ... not necessarily just against left-handed pitching," Hargrove said. "I really want to give days off to [shortstop Yuniesky] Betancourt and [second baseman Jose] Lopez in the second half. I can see Willie playing at least twice a week, maybe more." Bloomquist has appeared at every position this season except for pitcher and catcher.
May 21, 2006
Mariners manager Mike Hargrove said the left wrist injury Willie Bloomquist sustained Friday was better Saturday, though the utilityman didn't play, according to the Seattle Times. "We're going to try to give him another day," Hargrove said.
May 20, 2006
Willie Bloomquist was not available Friday due to a sore hand, according to the Seattle Times. He suffered the injury when he was hit by a pitch on Thursday.
May 19, 2006
Willie Bloomquist will see time at third base over the next couple of days while Adrian Beltre recovers from his hamstring injury, according to the Seattle Times. Bloomquist is hitting .286 in 56 at-bats this season.
April 30, 2006
Willie Bloomquist suffered cuts to his right hand and wrist, as well as a large bump on his forearm, when he collided with another player Saturday, according to the Seattle Times. "My whole arm went numb, but it's no big deal," he said. He remained in the game.
April 19, 2006
Willie Bloomquist got the start in center field Tuesday against lefty John Koronka, according to the Seattle Times. Manager Mike Hargrove has stated that there is no platoon in center field, but Bloomquist has started three of the four games against lefty starters this year, while Jeremy Reed has yet to be in the starting lineup against a southpaw. Jeremy Borchard got the other start in center with a lefty starter on the mound.
March 24, 2006
Willie Bloomquist could begin the season as the Mariners starting center fielder now that Jeremy Reed is sidelined with a broken wrist. Bloomquist played 15 games in center last year. He has been hindered this spring by a cut on his right pinky finger.
March 19, 2006
Willie Bloomquist took live batting practice Saturday for the first time since cutting his right little finger nine days ago, according to the Seattle Times. Barring a setback, he should play in Monday's exhibition game.
March 15, 2006
Willie Bloomquist remains sidelined with a cut on the pinkie finger of his right hand, according to the AP. He hit off a tee on Wednesday.
March 14, 2006
Willie Bloomquist has been ordered not to swing a bat until Friday, according to the Seattle Times. He cut his right pinky finger on Friday while lifting weights. "When I first did it, it really looked mangled, but it's not that bad," he said. "I want to get going but they're telling me not to rush it."
March 13, 2006
Willie Bloomquist could test his lacerated finger by swinging a bat today, though Mariners manager Mike Hargrove said Bloomquist might not return to game action until Friday, according to the Seattle Times.
March 11, 2006
The Seattle Times reports that Willie Bloomquist cut the little finger on his right hand yesterday while lifting weights. "I'm told he was reracking weights and jammed his hand and wound up with three stitches in the finger," Mariners manager Mike Hargrove said. He is not expected to hit for several days.
January 17, 2006
The Mariners agreed to a two-year deal with Willie Bloomquist on Tuesday, according to the AP. "He helps us in a variety of roles, including the ability to steal a base and play almost any position on the field," general manager Bill Bavasi said.
