2011-2012 MLB Off-Season Thread

Really the dumbest trade the Mariners could make

Trade probably the best young pitcher in the game for a fat, .800-OPS DH

This stupid city deserves to continue being garbage

[jOOj]

You should move.

If it weren't for the salmon, I'd be long gone

[jOOj]

It matches the popped collars, I understand.

Sabathia
Kuroda
Nova
Pineda
Burnett/Garcia/Hughes

Suddenly, the Yankees have a pretty fine looking rotation.

[Swifty]

Yeah, Yankees win the offseason.

Also, I'd love to get Hughes on the Marlins (Heyman thinks he's probably dealt).

[DColts]

He has another option, he can be stashed in AAA.

[Swifty]

He has another option, he can be stashed in AAA.

He'd go back to being a set-up guy before going to AAA, at least I think.
--------------------
My guess is Sabathia-Kuroda-Pineda-Burnett-Garcia starts the year and Nova comes in for the first guy to struggle out of Burnett/Garcia.

[DColts]

Nova is going to be in the rotation, he's much better than Burnett.
--------------------
I think Garcia starts in the beginning, Burnett becomes mop up reliever and replaces Garcia if he struggles, Hughes is stashed in AAA.

The Athletics acquired outfielder Seth Smith from the Rockies for righty Guillermo Moscoso and lefty Josh Outman, according to the Rockies' Twitter feed.

The A's always seem to get a decent player this time of year.

[emkayseven]

Smith is super underrated, always a good 5th OF on my fantasy team
