. - Jesus Montero was visibly nervous Wednesday as he apologized to his Seattle
Mariners teammates and their fans. The catcher-turned-first baseman was joining
the team at spring training for the first time since receiving a 50-game
suspension after being connected to baseballs Biogenesis performance-enhancing
drug investigation. "I want to apologize to the whole organization and all my
teammates for what I did last year," Montero said, his voice tinged with
emotion. "I know I made a bad mistake last year and I dont know what I was
thinking. But Im here right now this year to be better and to help the team to
win." Montero is coming off a rough 2013. The catcher was a prized acquisition
via trade with the New York Yankees in 2012 but struggled last year with his
hitting and defence and was sent down to Triple-A Tacoma, where he was moved to
first base. Then came a torn meniscus that required season-ending knee surgery
and the suspension. "This was the first time that happened to me. I had six good
years in the minor leagues and one good year in the big leagues," Montero said.
"Then this happened and it was hard for me and my family. But thank God its in
the past already and Im here to move forward and here to be better every day."
Montero, 24, is on the Mariners 40-man roster but is not guaranteed a spot on
the major-league roster going into this season. He said his knee feels much
better, but hell have work to do to make the big-league club, or potentially
start the year in the minors. Before his statement, several teammates approached
Montero in the clubhouse to greet him and welcome him back. "I have to prove to
myself, first of all, that I want to be in the big leagues," he said, pledging
to continue to learn to play first base and play wherever the organization wants
him. "My teammates, theyre really important to me. I want them to be comfortable
with me. I dont want them to be mad or be upset. I want everybody to know Im a
good person." NOTES: Former Tampa Bay Rays closer Fernando Rodney was in the
clubhouse Tuesday morning awaiting a physical. He remained officially unsigned
pending the results and had yet to be listed on the teams spring training
roster. . Mariners general manager Jack Zduriencik, team President Kevin Mather
