With how often Wilson came up in rumors related to the Tigers I would be shocked if they didn't make him an offer. |

In all seriousness, I would expect the M's to sniff around Hardy and see if they can work a deal there. His trade value is low right now after a down season, but he's still under club control for 2 more years and still provides value via his glovework. He's close to Jake Wilson as a defender and has more upside as a hitter while being a lot less expensive. Dave Cameron seems to think Hardy could net Brandon Morrow. We'll see - as an M's fan I would selfishly hope that Morrow holds more value than that, but Cameron is smarter about these things than I am. Hardy | U.S.S. Mariner |

Dola - the M's claimed Yusmeiro Petit from the D-Backs. He's still likely a AAAA type player, but it's nice to have cheap starting pitcher options. Petit is a good example of the concept of freely available replacement level talent.

This "rumor" has been getting a lot of play on the Giants' message boards and such lately. People are absolutely in love with Bradley's OBP - which isn't surprising, since Pablo Sandoval led the Giants in walks last season. |

Obviously, I'd much prefer Morrow for Hardy straight up, but if Jack Z does want more he does have the advantage of knowing the Brewers' system quite well. Not sure if they'd match up on a larger deal or not, but of any speculation by writers I've seen so far, Hardy to the Mariners for Morrow is definitely my favorite. No idea how the details would match up as each player has his lumps. |

I thought I heard that he hates New York and wants nothing to do with the east coast. Either way, there are far worse options out there than Lackey.

Apparently Hardy just got dealt to Minnesota for Carlos Gomez. Shit, I thought he was meant to be a Mariner in a Morrow deal; I didn't realize his value was that low.

Dude, Rowand is a gritty hustling telegenic white guy who's a "GAMER"; if we could make that deal, I'd be dancing on the walls. I don't want to see the pooping AB ever again (Kalifornia knows what I mean; McCovey meme) while he flails away at a slider in the dirt, and I think Nate could play a reasonable CF. |

Interesting. While that may be the case, I have never heard him talk about that. I have heard him (or heard it intimated about him) that he's looking to get paid this offseason. And, really, if that's true, can't really rule out the East Coast. Or if there's any truth to that, he's not going about it smartly.

Wow. Gomez has over 1000 ABs with only a .638 OPS and no year at or over .300 OBP. That's like trading Willy Tavarez for Hardy.

Any other Yankee fans on here that are wondering what we will be doing with our pitching rotation next year?
#1 ~ Sabathia #2 ~ Burnett #3 ~ ? #4 ~ ? #5 ~ Gaudin? For the love of all that his holy please oh please do not put Joba in the starting rotation again. We have already ridden that train and it derailed almost immediately. Maybe Petite comes back for another season, but I am not sure if he has enough left in the tank for it or not. Either way, we need 2-3 starters for this pitching staff, and I don't know where they will come from...

Jocketty say s the Reds had interest in Hardy, but wouldn't trade in the division. Given that both of them need improvement to compete with the Cards, I really don't understand the fascination with that chestnut.
edit: Should be Milwaukee wouldn't trade in the division.

I'm not thrilled with the return for JJ Hardy, but I guess I have to be realistic. How much can you possibly get for a guy that was demoted to AAA this year?
I'll just cross my fingers that Gomez can learn how to hit a little bit and the money saved by trading Hardy and not re-signing Mike Cameron can yield some halfway decent pitching. |

I've been following McCovey Chronicles since it was Waiting for Boof. I've tried registering there three times and my PC craps out each time, and now all my normal handles are off limits because apparently the registration worked, but it really didn't. I gave up trying and I just read. It's one of my favorite websites on the entire internet. Edit: I would also be absolutely overjoyed to make that trade. Then again, I'd be overjoyed to just simply not have Rowand on the roster any more. Last edited by Vince, Pt. II : 11-06-2009 at 07:19 PM. |

Well, neither team got any better. The Royals got two guys that will fight to make the 25 man roster and the White Sox got a guy that should be a bench player on team with serious playoff hopes and that they'll have to pay up to $5 million for next season. |

is there anything good about Teahan? seems like the sox got fucked in this deal. Getz seems to be Teahan's = and then you get a guy who can hit 20 hr a year in Fields. lame

Well, Feilds can hit the least productive 20 homers in baseball. Getz seems to have some value defensively, but can't hit at all. Teahen doesn't seem to do anything other than strike out especially well. Bad trade for both teams. |

Can someone who is good with stats tell me if Jeter, again, was the correct choice to get the Gold Glove at SS? Was he really the best fielding SS in the AL? Or does this award continue to be a joke?
Hey, if he deserves it, fine. Just don't have the statistical expertise to tell myself.

Heh...no, not normally really, but I wanted to be careful and see if I missed something where he might had a strong year defensively for him in what might have been a weak year for SSs overall in the league. That said, off of the top of my head, I have to think Andrus in Texas and Aybar in LA were better, and that's just in the AL West.

It should have gone to Elvis Andrus. He was probably the best defensive SS in baseball this year. |

Ha! Ruined your dola. On visual basis, I agree. Andrus was fantastic. I don't have the stats in front of me to back it up, just from what I saw the limited times I saw him.

UZR has Andrus easily #1 and Aybar #2 in the AL. It gave Jeter the first positive score of his career, and since none of the other metrics I've seen really changed I'd consider it an outlier.

There's no good reason to put much stock into the Gold Glove awards. For a good example of why, read this blog post by Seattle Times baseball writer Larry Stone:
Larry Stone on Gold Glove voting For another, any fielding award that doesn't honor Franklin Gutierrez after his phenomenal year in CF this year is one that is flawed. |

Do they actually go RF/CF/LF with the awards? Doesn't look like it anyways.
Hoping Mccutchen gets love tomorrow but I'm sure he will have to wait a year. Also Tony Plush better win. |

Neglected to mention that the Phillies declined the 5.5 million option for 3B Pedro Feliz. It appears that there are several quality third basemen on the market, and Philadelphia thinks it can get a player with a better bat without sacrificing too much on defense.
I hope that the Phillies can get Adrian Beltre (albeit at a reasonable price). Seems like he's young enough and has solid right handed power for a corner infielder. A lot in the media seem to like Mark DeRosa for the Phils, but I'm not sold management is really into him. Had they wanted DeRosa in previous years, I think they could have gotten him with some effort. Still, it's a risky move, probably riskier than going from Burrell to Ibanez last off-season. |

How does Jeter still win Gold Gloves? The guy is sad defensively, he has zero range.
That whole award is a total joke IMHO. It's completely based on reputation and non-fielding factors oh. i see people already railed against that yesterday. haha
