Kelly Shoppach | Grade: D+
Shoppach was the Mariners’ primary catching option for much of the first half and deserves kudos for his hard work, but he was a casualty of the team’s midseason youth movement. Shoppach played decently behind the plate, but his bat never came around. The M's released him late last month.
