Seattle Mariners: Ranking 10 Players Who’ll Have Much-Improved Seasons in 2011

Hey, did you hear? The Mariners were lousy in 2010. Terrible. Awful. Dreadful.

Ah, heck. I'll just link you so you can see all the synonyms for "bad."

That poor, poor dead horse.

Much has been ballyhooed about the shortcomings of the most recent episode of Mariners' baseball. Especially due to the predicted success placed on them entering the season. No one had delusions of an express lane to the division title, but it was widely thought they could duke it out and hang in there in a weak AL West.

A knockout in round one is hardly hanging in there.

So, let's all agree to officially move on. We'll start by focusing on the immediate future to see how we can expect some of those let downs to turn around, becoming 2011 success stories.

When your baseline is so low, a relative term like "much" doesn't seem so far-fetched, right?

However, I believe the improvement from certain players next season will unquestionably be seen as a large step forward.
