Dave’s 2010 Off-Season Plan

—

It’s back again – the annual winter tradition where I speculate on some potential moves the M’s could make and put together my own roster for next year. I try to be as realistic as possible, so I’m sticking to a $95 million budget and hopefully get in the realm of ...

U.S.S. Mariner: Dave’s 2010 Off-Season Plan
BBTF's Baseball Primer Newsblog — U.S.S. Mariner: Dave’s 2010 Off-Season Plan The Moves Trade Brandon Morrow to Milwaukee for J.J. Hardy. Trade Jose Lopez, Mark Lowe, and Jason Vargas to Chicago for John Danks. Sign Nick Johnson to a one year, $9 million contract Sign Orlando Hudson to a two year, $16 million contract Sign Ben Sheets to a one year, $7 million contract Sign Russell Branyan to a one year, $4 million contract… Giving up four years of Morrow for two years of Hardy is a risk, but it’s a risk the M’s should be willing to take. Young pitchers are full of false hope, so while Morrow may ...

Your 2010 White Sox offseason strategy
Sox Machine — ... . I’m guessing Dayan Viciedo is only listed at DH to take note of the 2010 salary committment, and not because he’s a viable option. *David Cameron at USS Mariner came up with this gem in his offseason strategy for the Mariners : Now, having written all that, perhaps you’ll think it is a little hypocritical that I then immediately suggest swapping an infielder for a pitcher by sending [Jose] Lopez, [Mark] Lowe, and [Jason] Vargas to Chicago for Danks. However, the situations are quite a bit different. Despite his age, Lopez is simply not the kind of player the M’s want to ...

Round 'em Up: Wednesday 10.21.09
Milwaukee Brewers Blog - Bernie's Crew — ... How about J.J. Hardy for Seattle pitching prospect Brandon Morrow? Dave Cameron from U.S.S. Mariner argues it would be a nice win-win trade scenario for both organizations. I would prefer a young pitcher who displays more control than a 5.00+ BB/9 walk rate, but I certainly understand the attractiveness of the trade. On a superficial level, however, Morrow's injury history and command issues would steer me elsewhere. (h/t ...

Thinking A Bit More About Shortstops
Tyler's Take On Sports — ... Assuming they leave and not accounting for internal replacement candidates right now, that leaves the Blue Jays, Astros and Mariners as teams that could have a new shortstop come spring training. Dave Cameron recently wrote that the Mariners should target J.J. Hardy in a buy-low, which would take them out, and would make Wilson available if that happens. ...

Los Angeles Angels: A Look Back and a Look Forward
Baseball Analysts — ... if Guerrero leaves. He could serve as the club's designated hitter and backup first baseman. Johnson would give the Angels a younger version of Abreu. He is basically the same guy without the speed. Sure, the 31-year old has a history of being injury prone, but he was relatively healthy this past year. However, I wouldn't be as aggressive as Dave Cameron so it's quite possible that the Seattle Mariners or some other team would top my offer. ...

Offseason Outlook: Seattle Mariners
MLB Rumors - MLBTradeRumors.com — ... Will Jack Wilson's defense at shortstop be enough for the Mariners to value him at $7.8MM net? Perhaps not, but the two sides could renegotiate at a lower salary. The shortstop trade market offers mainly J.J. Hardy, while Marco Scutaro and Miguel Tejada top the free agents. It would not be surprising to see Zduriencik pursue Hardy, a player he drafted as head of the Brewers' scouting department. Would Dave Cameron's suggested offer of Morrow interest the Brewers? ...

Scouring the Trade Market for Starting Pitching
Milwaukee Brewers Blog - Bernie's Crew — ... Brandon Morrow, Seattle: Morrow has been the most popular target in the "Trade J.J. Hardy" saga. Dave Cameron from U.S.S. Mariner suggested the deal a couple weeks ago, and Brewers fans have since run wild with speculation. Morrow is the typical youngster will fantastic stuff (mid-90s fastball, mid-80s slider, 9.29 K/9 career strikeout rate), but no control (5.83 BB/9 career walk rate). The 25-year old right-hander has the potential to develop into a #1 or #2 pitcher. If Doug Melvin feels new pitching coach Rick Peterson and ...
