Headed in Different Directions

A total of 38 players--excluding major leaguers making brief stops in the minors--appeared in JetHawk uniforms last season. Now those players have gone in a variety of directions, some moving up in the Mariner system, some staying put and some moving out of the system or out of baseball. Here’s a breakdown of where those 38 players are as the 1997 season begins.
