The Mariners added Hector Noesi in the Michael Pineda-Jesus Montero deal and he could be a potential member of their starting rotation. Noesi, 25, isn't worrying about his role as Seattle's camp kicks off. "I was excited because it's an opportunity here," Noesi said. "And things happen, because that's the way of this life. But I was surprised, too, because I thought they would let me stay with them. I thought, 'What am I doing now?' Everything is different." He pitched mostly out of the bullpen last year as a rookie with the Yankees, but came up through their system as a starter and relishes the idea of returning to that role. "Yeah, that's a good thing," he said. "Last year I was reliever. I felt it was easy because I'd work one inning, two innings, sometimes they used me three innings like a long reliever. So it's more easy. But I've always liked to start."
