Wednesday, Mariners manager Don Wakamatsu said it would be a couple of days before he decided whether the Jose Lopez-at-third-Chone Figgins-at-second would stick.

A “couple of days” is here, and Wakamatsu said this afternoon that he’s not changing a thing. Not only has Lopez looked playable at third base and Figgins occasionally spectacular at second, the team seems wholly on board with it.

“The sentiment in the clubhouse is that everybody likes what’s going on,” Wakamatsu said. “I’m leaning that way and everybody likes it.”

Wakamatsu said he does reserve the right to change course and go the other way — with Lopez at second and Figgins at third — but that seems pretty unlikely at this point.

It still doesn’t mean we won’t see a lineup with those two back at their old positions at some point the final two weeks of spring training. But it seems now that Wakamatsu would do that only to see how the dynamics work.

“You’ve kind of gone down this road of yea or nay, but is there a possibility over the next couple of days that we might take a look at it the other way?” Wakamatsu said. “Not because we’re doubting it, but just to ask what does it look like the other way? That’s the dialogue Jack (Zduriencik) and I have had.

“We still have quite a bit of baseball here at spring training to see something.

Obviously, I’m leaning that way and everybody in the other positions on the infield, they seem to want to go down this road.”

A few other notes from a 20-minute session Wakamatsu had with reporters:

The Mariners haven’t heard anything on whether pitcher Cliff Lee has officially appealed his five-game suspension, or what the process will be when he does.

Until the Mariners learn Lee’s ultimate fate — if the suspension is upheld or reduced — they’re in a holding pattern on matters involving much more than how they arrange the starting rotation without him.

For whatever length of time they’d be without Lee, the Mariners will operate with a 24-man roster. Wakamatsu said that makes it difficult to pursue the idea of operating with an 11-man pitching staff, which would give the Mariners an opportunity to carry an extra position player.

“It’s kind of a mess right now,” Wakamatsu said. “We’ve said all along that we were trying to look at 11 pitchers. That might change now because obviously if he’s suspended and he misses a start, we’ll have a 24-man roster, which (has an) effect on what’s going to happen.”

The playing time has pretty much indicated that Adam Moore will make the team, and Wakamatsu all but said that today as he discussed the catching tandem of Rob Johnson and Moore. Johnson cotinues to build his strength after surgery to both hips, and Wakamatsu said he wouldn’t be afraid to play Moore four or five games a week until Johnson is 100 percent.

“If we can break here with Rob feeling good catching a couple days in a row and we feel a confidence in Adam, it gives Adam a chance to catch four days a week and we can rest Rob on certain days,” Wakamatsu said.

Erik Bedard remains on track to pitch off the bullpen mound on Tuesday as he comes back from shoulder surgery last August.
