Latest News
| Justin Smoak collecting doubles at home |
by Adam Moore | CBSSports.com
(5/11/13) Mariners first basemen Justin Smoak has been on a doubles tear. Smoak, who has six two-baggers this year, has doubled in each of his last four games at Safeco Field.
The only previous Mariners to double in four straight games at Safeco were Ichiro Suzuki in 2002 and Michael Morse in 2006.
Smoak entered Saturday's tilt against the Athletics hitting .318 ( 14 for 44) with one home run and three RBI over his last 13 games.
"I haven't really felt bad all year," Smoak told MLB.com. "I've hit balls hard. I just have to keep having good at-bats and squaring balls up, and sooner or later they'll start going over the fence or in the gap."

| Justin Smoak having trouble solving lefties |
by R.J. White | CBSSports.com
(5/9/13) Mariners first baseman Justin Smoak has struggled against left-handed pitchers this season. Smoak, a switch hitter, has hit just .167/.268/.194 in 41 plate appearances against southpaws this season.
Smoak hasn't shown massive splits against righties and lefties in his career, so his struggles against lefties this year may just be a blip on the radar.

| Sizzling Justin Smoak gets a break |
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(5/4/13) After starting the previous four games at first base, the Mariners gave Justin Smoak a rest Saturday in Toronto against R.A. Dickey.
The 26-year-old is batting .243 and has hits in nine of his last 10 games. He's gone 12 for 34 (.353) over that stretch with a homer, two RBI and eight walks for a .476 on-base percentage and .559 slugging percentage.

| Time to jump on Justin Smoak? |
by Nando Di Fino | Senior Fantasy Writer
(5/2/13) In his last nine games, Mariners first baseman Justin Smoak is hitting .355 with four doubles and a home run. His OPS is 1.054 in that stretch, and he's walked seven times while striking out just five.
He has 28 Fantasy points over the last two scoring periods -- and the second period is still going. Owned in just 17 percent of leagues, Smoak is making a case for a spot on the Most Added boards. This is the Smoak that started to emerge last September (five home runs and a .341 average) and in spring training (five home runs and a .407 average).
The 26-year-old former top 15 prospect and first-round draft pick hasn't really hit his prime just yet. And while Smoak's average may not be quite up to par (his current .240 average would be a career high), he has shown some nice power over the last two years, with 34 total home runs in just 910 at-bats -- a pace that would have equaled about 22 home runs over full seasons.
A must-add, he is not. But Smoak is a decent gamble with some nice power upside.

| Justin Smoak getting on base frequently against Orioles |
by R.J. White | CBSSports.com
(5/2/13) Mariners first baseman Justin Smoak went 1 for 3 with two walks Wednesday against the Orioles, getting on base three times for the second consecutive game. For the series, Smoak is 5 for 10 with three walks and three doubles.
Smoak has lifted his batting average to .240 with the impressive three-game stretch.

Justin Smoak collecting doubles at home
|
| Justin Smoak continued to show minimal progress as a Fantasy option for much of 2012, but a strong finish could be a sign of things to come for the 26-year-old. He batted .241 with 10 home runs and 29 RBI in the first 49 games before his offensive game went into a deep freeze. Fast forward to his numbers after 90 games and owners saw him batting .189 with a .320 slugging percentage while hitting just three homers and driving in 18 runs over a 51-game stretch. Smoak was then sent to the minors to work on his swing. He returned in mid-August and batted .288 with a .475 slugging percentage over the final 42 games of the season and finished with 19 homers and 51 RBI for the year. Smoak again enters the season as the starting first baseman in Seattle and owners are hoping this is the season he finally puts it all together. The fences being moved in at Safeco Field help so there is a good chance Smoak becomes a reliable option. Plan on targeting him in AL-only formats and some deeper mixed leagues on Draft Day.
