If you're frustrated by the Seattle Mariners and their 4-8 start at the major league level, I can't necessarily blame you. The M's have been a laborious watch through the first 12 games of the season, boasting the worst average in baseball (.191) entering play on Wednesday.

However, if you're looking for some fun storylines within the organization as a whole, there's the growth of Emerson Hancock in the majors, the continued development of Colt Emerson at Triple-A Tacoma and the loaded roster currently on the field at Double-A Arkansas.

The Travelers boast both of the M's top pitching prospects in Kade Anderson and Ryan Sloan, and they also feature two of the best offensive prospects in Lazaro Montes and Michael Arroyo.

Arroyo, 21, is currently the No. 63 prospect in the sport, via MLB Pipeline. Through just four games, he's 3-for-15, but he does have two home runs and three RBIs. Really, for Arroyo, the question is not about his bat, but his glove.

I've seen Arroyo struggle at second base during back-to-back spring trainings. Team Colombia utilized him at designated hitter in the World Baseball Classic rather than using him at second. Mariners manager Dan Wilson told the media in spring training that he'd work around the field moving forward, and Jerry Dipoto indicated he would play some second, some third and some left field in the future.

So what exactly is the plan for Arroyo with the Travelers?

We were joined by Travs' broadcaster Steven Davis on the most recent edition of the 'Refuse to Lose' podcast, and he gave his perspective after three games (at the time of the talk).

"So Arroyo played game one at second base, game two in left field, game three back at second base. I think he can really play second base. He looked really good there last season in a short sample, and we saw Cole Young play a little bit of second base the year before, but he was primarily a shortstop still when he was in Double-A. Cole can really play second base as well, and obviously he's locked in there to that spot (in the big leagues). And just looking at body types and physicality, Cole's got the great hands. There's no reason to move him off second.

Left field could be a spot for Michael Arroyo in the future. Who knows what Randy's (Arozarena) future is with the Mariners, so why not give him a look out there? I have heard he will play a lot of second base this season, and he will play a lot of left field. And he looked, honestly, in the one game he played in left field, like a guy who had played a decent amount of left field. And I talked to him before the season, he said, 'I've never played anything but infield in my life. He goes, but I actually feel pretty comfortable out there.'

So that's a good sign that if a guy has never played some position and they go out there and feel comfortable that they're going to be able to do it."

You can hear the full interview with Davis at this link, and his full thoughts on Arroyo at the video player above.

Arroyo played second base again on Tuesday night, meaning he's played three games at second vs. just one in left field.

To Davis's point: Arozarena is a free agent after the season and the Mariners will be looking for a left fielder. We wrote about Arozarena's degrading defense on Tuesday.
