Seattle Mariners Power Rankings - 2012
| Power Ranking | ||||
| WEEK | RECORD | RANK | COMMENT | |
| Week 8 | 19-24 | 25 | Veteran right-hander Kevin Millwood has allowed only two home runs in his eight starts. -- ESPN.com | |
| Week 7 | 16-20 | 25 | Ichiro has only 13 RBIs in 36 games while batting in the No. 3 spot in the Mariners' lineup. -- ESPN.com | |
| Week 6 | 13-17 | 26 | Kyle Seager has more RBIs (10) in the past five games in which he's played than he had in the previous 20 games in which he played (seven). -- ESPN.com | |
| Week 5 | 11-12 | 21 | Former top prospect Michael Saunders struggled mightily at the big league level from 2009 to 2011, but a big week in which he hit four doubles and two home runs has propelled his slash line (AVG/OBP/SLG) to .258/.347/.515 through the first 20 games of the season. -- Jon Shields: Pro Ball NW | |
| Week 4 | 7-10 | 22 | Over the course of their past five games, the Mariners blew an eight-run lead, threw away a magnificent start by Felix Hernandez, allowed Philip Humber to go 27-up, 27-down, and were swept at the hands of the White Sox. -- Jon Shields: Pro Ball NW | |
| Week 3 | 6-5 | 22 | The Mariners paid a high price to bring Jesus Montero and Hector Noesi over from the Yankees this past offseason. Saturday brought their first major return on the investment as Noesi tossed eight shutout innings and Montero drove in three runs with a home run and a double in a 4-0 defeat of the Athletics. -- Jon Shields: Pro Ball NW | |
| Week 2 | 3-1 | 19 | The Mariners' offense scored 15 runs over their past two games despite getting minimal contributions from sluggers Justin Smoak (1-for-8, with a single) and Jesus Montero (2-for-8, with two singles). -- Jon Shields: Pro Ball NW | |
| Week 1 | 1-1 | 25 | The season-opening series in Japan did little to persuade anyone that the Mariners will be a better offensive club in 2012. Apart from solo home runs from Dustin Ackley and Justin Smoak and a four-hit game from Ichiro, the M's lineup looked abysmal. Thankfully, there are 160 games left to play. -- Taylor Halperin: Pro Ball NW | |
