The Mariners traded for Jose Vidro's husk, ostensibly to DH. With Sexson not guaranteed to go anywhere, what would the going rate be for Ben Broussard? Keep in mind that Bill Bavasi could easily outidiot Brian Sabean in a blither-off. Easily. And that's impressive.
Broussard is a lefty Lance Niekro-type, but one that has actually reached his limited potential. A platoon of Aurilia and Broussard wouldn't do wonders for the ol' OBP woes, but there would be a chance for 25 homers. Broussard is rumored to field like a dizzy Mike Wallace, but the idea's somewhat intriguing.
The post-Winter Meetings crash might be the hardest of them all....
