From John Schuerholz's interview Friday with Talking Chop:: John Schuerholz暗示Andy Marte is available from John Schuerholz's interview Friday with Talking Chop:: <Joe Hamrahi>: Is there any possibility that Marte goes camp at a different position or tries to learn a new position? <John Schuerholz>: I don't think so. I don't think so. He's too young...he's a primary dominant third base candidate for a major league team in the very near future, whether it be for our team or someone else's team. I mean this guy's total package, offensively and defensively, his power potential, and excellent defensive skills make him a legitimate major league third baseman. Right now, though, there's a guy named Chipper Jones ahead of him. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/ 看到的... It's well known that the Twins lineup at present is woefully devoid of power hitters. While noted Twins blogger Aaron Gleeman seems very receptive to a second baseman who can actually get on base, he acknowledges Luis Castillo's complete lack of punch. 交易來Luis Castillo顯然對雙城還不夠力,we need power. So who's on the radar? Well, you can cross Bill Mueller off the list. He's planning on signing with either the Dodgers or Pirates. Mueller is a nice player, but he's exactly what the Twins don't need at third. Mueller is a fragile on-base machine. Sure, the team could use more players who take walks, but A)they don't have the depth to back up Mueller if/when he gets hurt andB)he doesn't produce the power they need. The average AL third baseman slugged .428 this season, , and Mueller's career SLG is .430. The Twins need above average power at the hot corner. 所以Bill Mueller的power跟一大票我們的人(say,Cuddyer?)差不多,只是比較會上壘而且他準備跟躲人或走船人簽約了 The Twins have long been interested in Mike Lowell, but he no longer has the power they're looking for. There's no use acquiring him on the off chance he recaptures his swing in Minnesota. The Twins already tried that with Bret Boone, and it was a waste of 53 at-bats. (Of course, "many insiders believe the three-time All-Star Lowell will bounce back" Curious that all of these insiders chose to remain anonymous.) Lowell看來已經out of target,而且天曉得他是不是會bounce back Hank Blalock could be had, and he's still good for 20 HR without Ameriquest Field. Given that it could take a Francisco Liriano or Scott Baker to convince Jon Daniels to part with Blalock, the deal is better left alone. A lot of third basemen can hit .260 with 20 HR. For example, Andy Marte would probably hit .260 with 20 HR (or better) if he was given 550 at-bats at third base for the Twins. As mentioned yesterday, the Braves might part with Marte for Jesse Crain, Kyle Lohse, and prospects. Crain was the author of a bizarre plumetting strikeout rate once he reached the Majors, but he still posted a 2.53 ERA in 106 career innings. In that Hardball Times article, Gleeman mentions how Crain's success is likely not sustainable. Wonder if John Schuerholz learned his lesson with Dan Kolb? Lohse is the definition of average, and his ERA could top 5 next season. While Marte is the perfect fit for Minnesota, it seems they'd have to pony up a lot more than Crain and Lohse. If they really want Marte, it will probably require Francisco Liriano or Scott Baker. Blalock?是可以交易到,但天殺Rangers GM Jon Daniels就是要提到Liriano, Baker 請注意: Blalock離開lone star的成績... Andy Marte for Crain+Lohse+prospect...只要那個prospect不是L或B開頭, I'll do this trade in a heartbeat...但John Schuerholz絕不是省油的燈,Braves想要 SS(Julio Lugo?), bullpen, starter... 在Schuerholz笨到跟小魚交易Julio Lugo前我們快上啊!! -- Getting what you want is only a problem if you have nowhere to go next.
