PEORIA, Ariz. (AP) -- For Mike Carp and Carlos Peguero, Greg Halman was a brother.
Carp used the word in English. Fellow Seattle Mariners outfielder Peguero offered its Spanish counterpart, "hermano."
It was a fitting tribute to Halman, who spoke four languages and was a cultural bridge in the clubhouse before he was stabbed to death last November while in his native Holland for a series of clinics throughout Europe.
The death of the Mariners prospect stunned former teammates and coaches at both the minor league and major league levels.
Carp is remembering Halman this spring with a T-shirt that he gave to each of his teammates that reads "Brother for life" in Dutch on the front.
