Marte?

I saw a story in the ESPN spring blog about Andy Marte. Apparently, he might be available because they don't have space for him and he's out of options. What about trading a minor prospect for Marte? This is a guy who used to be a huge prospect himself. Might be worth a short.

by cornball on Mar 15, 2008 11:56 AM PDT reply actions   0 recs

i'd much prefer a trade of something minor for Marte as opposed to anything for Crede.

Marte

1. Not a veteran
2. Not a gamer
3. Not proven

He therefore has no future with the giants.

1b is much more important

I like the inhouse candidates at 3b rather than 1b. Either Frandsen, Velez, Leone or Aurilia could hold down the fort at the hot corner. Sabean needs to concentrate his efforts more on 1b than 3b.

by wilriv21 on Mar 15, 2008 12:25 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

1b?

Anyone not named Sabean can fill 1B on a bad team. Adding Pujols at 1B moves 2008 from 70-wins-by-the-skin-of-our-teeth to .500-with-honor. I don't see the point of worrying about the least-demanding defensive position on the field.

3B demands a little on defense, but it's still a corner position, and I don't see any of those four bats managing league-average performance. Frandsen really needs to play a creditable 2B to be valuable, Velez probably doesn't even hit enough for SS, and the other two? Sheesh.

That doesn't mean I'd go after Crede, who more-or-less equates to Pedro Feliz with a bad back, or Inge, who's a tiny bit better, but even more overpriced. It does mean that if there is a real 3B prospect on offer, or someone like Marte is available for peanuts, I'd pull the trigger.

by wcw on Mar 15, 2008 12:35 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

He's been in decline the past 3 seasons and posted a .309 OBP in AAA last year. Not really a recipe for success, IMO.

Some good news
Sanchez said his mechanical tweak - he keeps his hands at chest level instead of dropping them to his hip - helps his arm from dragging behind his body. As a result, he stays on top of his pitches and keeps the same arm speed whether throwing a fastball or change-up. He also registered a staff-high six strikeouts, mostly on change-ups, to build off his solid outing last week in Tucson

If he is throwing fast ball and change-up at same arm speed and mix in another offspeed pitch - watch out!

Note to the TV crew: get a graphic of the 50th anniversary logo with a slightly higher resolution. Not HD-ready.

The picture on mlb.com not only doesn't look high def, it looks like the Golden Age of Television. I keep expecting Milton Berle to pop up on the screen.

Rohlinger has been getting some run with the big club this spring. Looks like he can hit a fastball. Scouts say he's super great with the leather. Does he make the jump to Norwich or even Fresno after this spring?

In San Jose they had Minicozzi and Maroul playing some 3b, Leone played some 3b in Fresno. Have heard they may have either Denker or Velez playing some 3b. So either San Jose or Norwich sounds about right. If he gets off to good start could move fast?

If Velez isn't with the big club I'll be upset.

On a team with Manny Burriss, Eugenio, and others who are very fast runners, I really want to see Mike McBryde run. I just can't think of how this little white dude is faster than those guys.

Great news for the Caribbean
The Puerto Rican winter baseball league will resume its season in October, more than a year after it announced a shutdown because of financial problems.

The famed league, which has starred Roberto Clemente, Ivan Rodriguez and Juan Gonzalez, will be revived because several municipalities have promised to increase funds and suspend stadium rents in some cases, president Jose Andreu Garcia said Friday.

Merkin

Looked really solid. Shook of the error and the HBP. He looks like he has a nice plane on that mid 90's fastball. I am not sure if that changeup can fool ML hitters though. It would be nice to have him produce as many have suggested and have a Joe Nathan year.
