It seems to me that the Mariners have a hard time buying in to the ability of players from other leagues. It wasn't all that long ago that Iwakuma was the last man on the 25 man roster used- out of the bullpen, if I recall.
Immediately after (and all along), he was the solid #2 pitcher we've enjoyed since.
There's nothing to say that Dae Ho isn't Cruz 2.0, but if he is, the Mariners are buying in slower than the rest of us, as with Iwakuma.
