Just a thought don’t really like him that much either. Do you guys think Wak will push Yuni & Lopez to focus on D? I think Yuni & Lopez could be pretty decent if they weren’t so lazy on defense and someone lit a fire under them. What do you guys think?

And he’s looking for Furcal type money.

And he’s always just rubbed me the wrong way. A total agitator.

We’ve had his brother, let’s just be content with that.

^He’s a Type A FA. I wouldn’t give up a draft pick to sign Cabrera.

He’d have better patience at the plate, anyway. Dogs LOVE taking walks!

I have a dog. Let’s strap a glove to his back and shove him out to short. He’ll be just as valuable as YuBet.

of all the above mentioned possibilities, the only one that would even be slightly interesting to me would be Jack Wilson

What happened to earlier talk about possibly bringing J.J. Hardy to the M’s? Z obviously knows enough about him, and he could solve a bunch of problems with his consistent numbers? I liked the thought of that after Furcal didn’t seem as a possibility.

Omar for two years ehhh no thanks. Wilson I think is overpaid, but if they would take some of the salary, it wouldn’t be so bad. Hu I think is worth looking at, he is young with upside. Of all of them, Bartlett would be my top pick.

There has to be something that can be done. I believe that getting rid of Yuni should be Z’s number 1 priority.

A trade with LAD would be great. They need pitching, both in the pen and rotation. We could send Wash, Silva, Batista, or any number of pen guys. And if you don’t think they’d take on a horrible contract, they could send back one of theirs in return. Hu and Pierre or Jones for two or more pitchers…

If you need to also get rid of Yuni in the same deal, get a third team involved. SD makes the most sense after dealing Greene. Yuni to SD, SD pitching to LAD, and Hu to Seattle. Possibly same scenario with other teams needing a starting SS…

Getting Wilson straight up for Yuni would be great. His D alone is reason enough, and he will get on base more than the free-swinging Yuni…

I’ve long wanted them to bring back Omar. Give him a two year deal. Can’t hurt. His D is still among the best in the game. Either have Yuni on the bench, or best case scenario, get what you can from him. Trade him for prospects that are close to ready, so Omar can mentor them for the next two years.

Does Corona project as an option; or is he just a newer version of Bloomquist? What about Woodward that was recently signed?
