Feierabend had been a longshot to make this team as either a bullpen long man or a situational lefty. But he was also a potential trade component for a Mariners squad that might have to package younger players together as part of any trade efforts of some veterans. At age 23, already entering his seventh professional season, Feierabend's career with the Mariners might already be over before it ever really got started. But we'll have to wait and see.

Another injury to note: outfielder Freddy Guzman, a non-roster invite to camp, fractured the hammate bone in his right hand fouling off a pitch in the final inning of yesterday's intra squad game. He'll have surgery next week and is out 4-to-6 weeks.

I spoke to Adrian Beltre this morning and he told me he had yet to make a decision on playing in the WBC. Wakamatsu had another conversation with him today and will be sticking Beltre in tomorrow's Cactus League opener (there's a Charity Game today) against San Diego ahead of schedule. Wakamatsu and Beltre both want to see how healthy his shoulder is before making a call.

"Our dialogue right now is, I don't want him to jeapordize anything for the club or for himself,'' Wakamatsu said.

Wakamatsu admitted he likely would not have played Beltre in tomorrow's game had this WBC decision been looming.

"Probably not,'' he said. "I think it's just coming down to the wire where he has to test it.''
