It's always tough keiepng track of so many players, especially the ones I haven't seen yet. Thanks for the heads up. I haven't ruled out Noriega coming back either, but I still think Littlewood makes the club barring injury. Usually, a position player drafted that highly will make a full-season club in his first full season. I've seen young high-rounders in John Whittleman, Marcus Lemon, Steven Baron and Nick Franklin get assigned to Clinton right away despite not having a lot of games under their belt the previous year I think that holds true in Littlewood's case also. His best learning experiences are going to be with an affiliate, and the Mariners have nothing to lose in sending him here.
