	2001 SEASON STATISTICS GM HR RBI R SB AVG 94 23 67 55 2 .291

SEATTLE -- Key players were coming and going for the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday, with the team landing a potential starting left fielder, but losing a starting pitcher.

Free-agent outfielder Ruben Sierra signed a one-year deal with the Mariners on Wednesday.

The deal is worth $1.9 million with $150,000 in performance bonuses.

On the same day though, pitcher Aaron Sele agreed to a deal with the Anaheim Angels for $24 million over three years.

Sierra, a switch-hitter, hit .291 with 23 home runs and 67 RBI in 94 games with the Texas Rangers last season.

	The Mariners' revamped lineup for the 2002 season: Ichiro, RF Mike Cameron, CF Edgar Martinez, DH Bret Boone, 2B John Olerud, 1B Jeff Cirillo, 3B Ruben Sierra, LF Ben Davis, C Carlos Guillen, SS

He is a career .270 hitter with 263 homers and 1,121 RBI.

Sierra's first few seasons were promising. In 1987-89, he averaged 27 homers and 108 RBI. By the late '90s, he had played with the Athletics, Yankees, Tigers, Reds, Blue Jays and White Sox, and his playing time and numbers diminished.

In 1999, he played with Atlantic City (N.J.) of the unaffiliated Atlantic League, and he began the next season with the Cancun Lobstermen in Mexico before rejoining the Rangers.
