The Mariners may get a boost in their starting rotation if Erik Bedard is finally healthy. "We'll see during the season, but right now, health-wise and stuff-wise, I feel the same as I was before," the left-hander said. Bedard has had three shoulder surgeries in recent years. "He's one of the premier left-handers in the game," said teammate Jason Vargas. "If we can get him back at half of that, it's pretty exciting. If he's healthy, that makes our rotation extremely good."
