J.J. Putz made his Major League debut with the Seattle Mariners in 2003 for three games, and in 2004 and 2005, he had a role in the bullpen appearing in 118 Games.  In those two years, Putz was just another arm, but after adding a splitter to his arsenal, and winning the closing job, 2006 would see him reborn.

Jeff Nelson was with the Seattle Mariners for three different runs, and while he was a four-time World Series Champion with the New York Yankees, it is with Seattle where he will always be most associated with.

In terms of infield defensive versatility, Jose Lopez is right at the top of the list for the Seattle Mariners.

Julio Cruz was an original Seattle Mariner, who had been in the California Angels farm system for three years.  Cruz saw action immediately as a rookie n 1977, and as a sophomore, he was affixed as their starting Second Baseman.  While he was a light hitter (only 17 Home Runs, with a Mariners Slash Line of .243/.327/.307), Cruz was a quick player who knew what to do once he was on base.  He would steal 59 Bases in 1978, and would hit the 40 SB mark in the four years after.
