Miguel Olivo will enter Spring Training as the No. 1 catcher for the Mariners despite the acquisition of Jesus Montero from the Yankees. Montero, 22, figures to get time at designated hitter and catcher. "It didn't surprise me," Olivo said. "You're competing every day in baseball. He's a good hitter and we need that. I hear he's going to be DH and catching and I'll be doing more of the catching, but I'm not looking at it that way. I'm just looking that he's coming to help the team." Olivo played in a career-high 130 games last season, a feat that seems unlikely in 2012. "I talked to him a couple minutes ago and he said he'd be next to me all the time," Olivo said of Montero. "I told him he's welcome to come and I'll help him with everything I've learned in baseball. I told him, 'The days you catch, I'll be looking at you to see what you're doing wrong. And the days you hit, maybe I'll learn something about hitting from you.' We can go back and forth."
