Luke Raley's first year in Seattle probably went better than expected, as he played in a career-high 137 games for the Mariners. He ended up setting a whole host of single-season bests, including a 3.2 bWAR, 22 homers, 58 RBI, 128 OPS+ and 187 total bases.
Last season however, couldn't have gone much worse for Raley as he endured a campaign which was painful for Mariners fans to watch. It was even more painful for him — quite literally — as he first dealt with a right oblique strain and then back spasms, which led to two stints on the injured list.
