Tue Mar 20 2012 | 19:32 | Carlos Peguero goes deep again |
Carlos Peguero blasted his fourth home run of the spring Tuesday, a two-run shot off the Reds' Jeff Francis. |
Peguero also singled, driving in four runs on the day. The mammoth outfielder is hitting .268 with an .863 OPS this spring in his effort to win a spot on the bench. Peguero still strikes out way too much, but his power makes him worth tracking in AL-only formats. |

Sat Mar 3 2012 | 20:34 | Carlos Peguero homers again for Mariners |
Carlos Peguero homered in a second straight game Saturday against the A's. |
Peguero, the Mariners' primary left fielder from mid-May to mid-July last year, isn't in the team's plans for the beginning of this season, though that could change if he explodes for 8-10 homers this month. He may always swing and miss too often to be of much use, but he does possess a whole lot of power. |

Sun Jun 26 2011 | 01:09 | Carlos Peguero hits sixth homer |
Carlos Peguero went 2-for-4 and hit his sixth homer Saturday versus the Marlins. |
Peguero has flashed big-time power for the Mariners, but he's hitting just .211 and he has a 38/6 K/BB ratio in 114 at-bats. He doesn't belong in the majors right now, and he might be sent back to Triple-A before the All-Star break. |

Fri Jun 3 2011 | 03:03 | Carlos Peguero hits two homers in victory |
Carlos Peguero hit two homers and drove in four runs in the win over the Rays on Thursday. |
And as a result, Michael Saunders was sent down after the game. Both had been playing terribly, but the Mariners are making the right call in picking one and letting the other play regularly in Triple-A. Going into the night, Peguero was 0-for-14 with 10 strikeouts since May 24. Even after tonight, he's still batting just .190. However, he should be worth playing in AL-only leagues for now. |

Thu May 19 2011 | 18:03 | Carlos Peguero knocks in game-winner |
Carlos Peguero's routine fly to center in the bottom of the ninth turned into a game-winning single after Torii Hunter lost the ball Thursday, giving the Mariners a 2-1 victory over the Angels. |
At least Peguero put it into play: he had struck out 10 times in 31 major league at-bats. That gave Peguero his first hit that wasn't a homer in 22 at-bats since he was recalled on May 9. Overall, he's 5-for-32. |

Mon May 9 2011 | 14:13 | Carlos Peguero called up |
Mariners recalled OF Carlos Peguero from Triple-A Tacoma. |
The outfield youth movement is in full swing in Seattle, as Milton Bradley and Ryan Langerhans have given way to Peguero and Mike Wilson. Known for his power as much as he is for his swings and misses, Peguero is batting .282/.345/.456 with four homers in 103 at-bats this season to go along with 37 strikeouts. He'll have trouble ever hitting for average, but the power is real, so he could end up being worth an AL-only flier if he gets a decent amount of playing time. |

Fri Apr 16 2010 | 14:25 | Mariners prospect Peguero homers twice |
Carlos Peguero hit a pair of homers Thursday for Double-A West Tenn. |
Peguero hit 31 homers last year, but that was in a high-offense environment in a high-offense league (high-A High Desert in the California League). It also came with 172 strikeouts in 491 at-bats. The power is legit, but Peguero still has a lot of work to do. For what it's worth, he's off to a very nice start in seven games this season. He's hitting .385/.467/.808 with six strikeouts in 26 at-bats. |
