Robinson Cano thinks that the new-look Seattle Mariners still need some more offensive punch.

Cano, who signed a 10-year, $240 million contract with Seattle this offseason, said during a recent interview with CBSSports.com that the Mariners should look to acquire another hitter.

"I'm not going to lie. We need an extra bat, especially a right-handed bat," Cano told CBSSports.com. "We have many left-handed hitters. We need at least one more righty.

"You don't want to face a lefty pitcher with a lineup of seven left-handed hitters."

Cano suggested to the website that the Mariners re-sign free agent slugger Kendrys Morales, a switch hitter who belted 23 home runs with Seattle last season.

"[Morales is] a switch hitter who's got power," Cano said.

After signing Cano in December, the Mariners also added Corey Hart and Logan Morrison to bolster their lineup. Seattle currently is projected to open the season with a lefty-heavy lineup featuring Cano, Morrison, Kyle Seager, Dustin Ackley, Michael Saunders and Brad Miller.

Morales, who remains unsigned, would not cost Seattle any draft-pick compensation since he played with the Mariners last season.

Cano also told CBSSports.com that he would like to see the Mariners sign pitcher Ervin Santana, another high-profile free agent who is still available.
