Comments on: The newest Yuni rumor http://www.ussmariner.com/2009/05/21/the-newest-yuni-rumor/ Seattle Mariners blog and general baseball discussion Thu, 09 Feb 2012 22:05:17 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: SonOfZavaras http://www.ussmariner.com/2009/05/21/the-newest-yuni-rumor/comment-page-2/#comment-329778 SonOfZavaras Sat, 23 May 2009 00:12:39 +0000 http://ussmariner.com/?p=8206#comment-329778 One thought I have on the Peavy trade being nixed by Peavy himself: Maybe, just maybe, Zduriencik should have Kenny Williams (ChiSox GM) on the horn. Williams is aggressive by nature, and it's now very clear he's going to go for this year. And he needs better, more experienced guys in his rotation. Names like Aaron Poreda and Clayton Richard would look quite good in Mariner blue, if we can formulate a good enough enticement. I don't hold much hope for the Gordon Beckhams to be had, it would take more than what we would part with in all likelihood....but without breaking into a full rosterbation post, this might be a match as a trade partner.

And I fully admit I was wrong about him. :) Depending on the M’s chances, I could see Branyan being a nice sell-high candidate for the M’s if they start to tank at the deadline.

They seem pretty wild. Out of curiosity, how good is Headley? I know he's better than Yuni, but what would be a reasonable projection on him? .4 wins so far in about a quarter of a season. It's only his first full year, but he's not as young as most first year players. How much upside does he have left? Is he likely to be more than a league average player? I've heard talk of him being moved back to third base. Is there any chance of that happening? If he can put up solid defense at third base and the Padres are considering trading him, it seems like he'd be a pretty good addition. Where is Baker hearing these rumors? They seem pretty wild.
