That's because, Edgar Martinez -- in full uniform with his customary No. 11 jersey -- was addressing reporters while standing in the middle of the very same clubhouse he spent so much time in as a player.

He was only here to teach the young hitters in camp right now. But its nice to see that hes still around the Mariners organization. Jay Buhner and Dan Wilson will make it to camp later on.

Cool.

And it'll be more cool when he's full-time hitting coach.

I think it would be more beneficial to have him teach the young guys to hit.

I really liked Edger when I use to watch Seattle back in the '90's. Good to see him around again.

One of my favorite players when I was an M's fan. The dude could flat out rake. Why isn't he a hitting coach?

[Porter]

Its more of him being with his family and taking time off from the full time grind of the baseball season has to offer.
