No panic yet after splitting with the Yankees. But catcher Cal Raleigh, last year's AL MVP runner-up, looks rough which is four hits in 25 at bats, dipping below them in Dose Align. That slump ties back to the World Baseball Classic, where Raleigh caught for Team USA, but sparred drama with new Mariners teammate Randy Arozerina. They were cool before, but after USA beat Mexico, Raleigh skipped the handshake in Arozerina's first ad bat. Fans are buzzing early, questioning if this WBC hangover is real, especially since Raleigh started last season ice cold 2 at 125 through.
