PEORIA, Ariz. – Judging a team by its won-lost record is an exercise often fraught with peril. After all, a contending team can fall out of the race with two weeks to go, plunge into a nosedive of indifference and finish with fewer wins than a .500 club that pads its September record against rosters laden with Triple-A call-ups. On the flip side, a Mariners squad that lost 101 games in 2010 – sealing that with a final-week collapse and season-ending sweep suffered at the hands of the Oakland Athletics – could go on a tear the final two weeks this coming season, wind up with just 90 losses, and really be no better than its predecessor.
