Trayvon Robinson Active For Seattle Mariners Game Friday
Former Dodgers' outfield prospect Trayvon Robinson, recently acquired by the Seahawks Mariners in the Erik Bedard trade, has been called up from AAA Tacoma and will start in left field for the Mariners tonight. Per Greg Johns, Robinson will play in left field and bat 9th. The team announced that he will wear the number 12.
Robinson was acquired in a three-team trade that saw Erik Bedard go to the Red Sox and several Red Sox players to the Dodgers. Robinson, along with Chih Hsien Chiang, comes to the Mariners and is one of several new faces in the clubhouse. Recently acquired pitcher Charlie Furbush and outfielder Casper Wells, both part of the Doug Fister trade, have already had some action and had some success with the Mariners, and Robinson hopes to continue that trend.
Trayvon Robinson has some power (26HRs and 9 triples in 2011) and steals some bases, but he also strikes out a lot.

Trayvon Robinson Called Up To Join Seattle Mariners
Once Greg Halman was sent down to AAA, it was only a matter of time before the Seattle Mariners called someone up. Ryan Divish of the Tacoma News Tribune broke the news: It appears the Mariners are pinning their hopes on former Dodgers prospect Trayvon Robinson, who was sent to the Mariners in the Erik Bedard trade.
The outfielder is a solid enough prospect. He was drafted in the 2005 MLB draft out of Crenshaw High School, and spent most of the next four years playing minor league baseball. He finally had a breakout year in 2011 with the Albuquerque Isotopes. While he struck out a lot in triple-A but did show a lot of power with 26 HRs in 2011 and 9 triples (and a low amount of doubles). Seattle could use some hitting, and Robinson could be a player of the future for the beleagured franchise.
