\u201cYou need that intensity. You need that drive,\u201d Wilson said. \u201cI think his drive to win is incredible also. And that\u2019s what you\u2019re going to need from all your guys, and that\u2019s a big part of what he brought to this club.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 54 games with the Mariners, Naylor hit .299 with nine home runs, 33 RBIs and 19 stolen bases. In 12 post-season games, Naylor batted .340 with three home runs, five RBIs and two stolen bases. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m going to be a Mariner again and I couldn\u2019t be more excited,\u201d Naylor said in a statement. \u201cFrom the moment I arrived, everyone in the organization welcomed and helped me. The players brought me in and loved my game right away, and the fans were incredible.<\/p>\n

\u201cSeattle has the best fan base in baseball. They\u2019re electric and support us through and through, and I couldn\u2019t be more thankful for that. I can\u2019t wait to continue to play with these guys and bring the city a championship.\u201d<\/p>\n
