2012
Liddi earned a callup to Seattle last season and turned in a good showing with three homers and three doubles in 40 at-bats. Liddi has demonstrated that his power is legit, but his contact rate so far at the major league level is below-average. He totaled 17 strikeouts to three walks in those same 40 at-bats. The Mariners likely will have an opening at third base this spring, but until Liddi cuts the K's (he had 170 strikeouts in 138 games at Triple-A Tacoma last year), he'll be hard pressed to win the job.
2011
Liddi proved last season that the progress he showed in 2009 at High-A High Desert was not a California League statistical illusion. Liddi, who hit 72 extra-base hits in 2009, cracked 15 homers and 37 doubles with an .829 OPS at Double-A West Tennessee last year. He'll move up to Triple-A Tacoma this season, but his numbers could slide unless his plate discipline improves -- 145 strikeouts last season. Still, at 22, Liddi has time to develop. The Mariners added him to the 40-man roster in the offseason, and there's a chance he could find his way to Seattle at some point with his strong glove if a spot opens midseason, but there's no rush.
2010
Liddi dominated at High-A last season, slugging 72 XBH, ranking third in the Cal League with a 1.005 OPS and banging out the second-most hits in the circuit with 170 in 129 games. What's more, he played spectacular defense at third base. How he reacts to a less hitter-friendly environment this year will be key, but a lot of scouts think his progress last year was real. He's only 21, so time is on his side if he doesn't attack the higher levels with as much gusto from the outset.
