Silva proves critics wrong

It is obvious that the Mariners have more chances this year, why? Well there is a reason, and that reason has a name: Carlos Silva, the Ace that Seattle has being asking for.

He came from the Twins in the middle of a cloud of doubts around his $48 million dollar contract with the Mariners, but as of now, he has turn those critics into believers, since he’s 3-0 since his arrival this season and is spected to be the highlight of Seattle this year.

Silva is trying to get more credit and more playing time as a starter, since as of now, Felix Hernandez and left-hander Erik Bedard are the ones doing the job he’s surely prepared to do also.

"He is a big part of this rotation, he competes. He always competes. He's a great competitor, and I like everything about him. He throws strikes, is a good team player and has been huge for us." Said Mariners manager John McLaren.

Yesterday the Mariners had Silva as starter against the Ahtletics in the game that Seattle won by 8-1 playing in Oakland at McAfee Coliseum.

I think it wouldn’t take long to find out who’s who in the Mariners, and with good choices around, this team is spected to deliver a great deal of competition during the season.
