He&#8217;s given his all but considering he missed all of last season it&#8217;s tough to believe the Seattle Mariners would be thrilled about including him on their opening day roster.<\/p>\n<p>For what it&#8217;s worth he&#8217;s regained much of his velocity and has been pitching well but alas this is spring training.<\/p>\n<p>Mike Sweeney is in a similar position as he&#8217;s hit the cover off the ball and despite a .750 average there doesn&#8217;t appear to be any way the Mariners could sneak him no the roster for opening day.<\/p>\n<p>Both players would be options later on but for Sweeney I don&#8217;t know if he sticks around with the club.<\/p>\n<p>As for Cordero this is a guy who turns 28 in a few hours and picked up 128 saves in six seasons with the Washington Nationals. He has a career 2.78 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and despite not being the hardest throwing proved to be quite an asset to the Nationals at the end of games.<\/p>\n<p>I figure the Mariners run him though Tacoma for a bit and personally I wouldn&#8217;t be surprised to see him in Seattle rather quickly should he pitch well and his arm hold up.<\/p>\n<p>If not then I guess you can could me as wrong on this
