C Chris Iannetta had his best day in his first two weeks with the Mariners on Friday when he had three hits and was on base four times. He had two hits in 18 at-bats with seven strikeouts during Seattle's six-game homestand but had two singles sandwiched around a two-run homer in the fifth inning. Those hits gave Iannetta his first game with at least three RBIs since July 21 and his first game with at least three hits since May 18 and they all came against right-handed pitchers, whom he had been 0-for-9 against.
Wed Apr 6 201604:01C Chris Iannetta making up for lost time
C Chris Iannetta, who got off to a horrible start last year with the Angels, is making up for lost time. Iannetta started 2015 in a 1-for-21 slump and didn't collect his first RBI until the 16th game of the season. He has three hits and two walks in his first five at-bats with Seattle, and he put the Mariners up 1-0 with a second-inning single Tuesday. He also was hit by the pitch in the eighth inning, changing the complexion of the game. "I'm really happy to see him get off to a good start," Seattle manager Scott Servais said. "He was concerned in spring training. He struggled mightily last year out of the gate and really has been a slow starter throughout his career."

While Iannetta provides good pop for a catcher, with 10 home runs and 33 RBI, his .187 batting average makes it tough for him to play on a consistent basis. Over the past week, he's 4-for-13 with four runs scored, two home runs and three RBI. In spite of that, he's replaced by Carlos Perez in the starting lineup.

Iannetta went 2-for-5 with a two-run homer and a pair of runs against the Twins on Thursday.
The veteran catcher has nine homers in 86 games for the Angels this year, which is well and good, but not in conjunction with that hideous .185 batting average. His playing time has been inconsistent, with Carlos Perez dominating the starts, so Iannetta has precious little fantasy value even if his resurgence continues.
