The Mariners have released infielder Munenori Kawasaki. Seattle's roster now contains 39 (out of 40) players.Kawasaki signed a minor league deal worth $625k with Seattle back in January, and proved to be a bust for the Mariners. He hit .192 in 115 big league plate appearances, and played mostly the middle infield positions.
Analysis: Kawasaki is just another failed Japanese import, simply because the guy just couldn't hit. Luckily it was only $625k, and nothing too earth shattering from a baseball standpoint. He'll probably just return to Japan and have success there.
