다저스에게 훈훈한 소식

As for Tuiasosopo's ballplaying, he remains an intriguing part of the Mariners' off-season plans. Tuiasosopo is obviously an option at third base, with the expected departure of Adrian Beltre. He could also be a second base option should the team decide to trade or move Jose Lopez to another position.

One free-agent I'm hearing rumblings the Mariners will take a look at is all-star second baseman Orlando Hudson of the Dodgers. Hudson was limited to late-inning substitution duty during the recent NLCS, with hot-hitting Ronnie Belliard getting the nod over him, but did swat a pinch-hit home run in the deciding fifth game.

Hudson was on an incentive-laden one-year, $3.38 million deal in Los Angeles. The Gold Glove winner had been slowed in the field by a career-threatening wrist injury the past few seasons, though he did put up 551 at-bats in 2009 -- his most since 2006 and second-best total of his career.

That, in turn, enabled Hudson to reach most of his incentives and took his compensation for the season up over $8 million.

Since leaving the American League after the 2005 season, the switch-hitting Hudson has put up an on-base-plus slugging percentage in the .774 to .808 range, which is consistently better than what Lopez has managed, along with a superior glove.

The wrist would obviously be a lingering concern for a player who turns 32 in December. And Hudson's .774 OPS this past season was his lowest since joining the NL.

But expect to hear more of his name mentioned as the off-season progresses. The Mariners have some interesting options for the middle infield.
시애틀타임즈에서 나온 소식(?)인데요, 벨트란의 계약이 끝났고, 마이너리그에는 3루수 유망주인 Matt Tuiasosopo가 차지할거 같다고 하네요.

그와 더불어 현 2루수인 호세 로페즈(Jose Lopez)를 컨버전시키거나 타팀으로 이적시키고 올랜드 헛슨을 영입하라고 하는군요. 출루율이 좋고, 2년간의 부상에서 말끔한 모습을 보여줬다고 하네요. 그리고 말린스는 미들인필드에 대해 관심있다고 하네요.

솔직히 로페즈도 있고, 그들도 유망주가 있어서 그런 영입이 가능한지 어떤지는 모르겠습니다. 다만 데려간다면(헛슨과 계약한다면) 다저스는 내년 드레프트에서 전체 18번픽을 받게 되는거죠. 그리고 셔플픽도 받겠죠. 물론 말린스도 다른 FA영입을 할 수도 있지만, 그 FA가 헛슨보다 엘리어스랭킹 점수가 낮다는 전제조건이 있어야겠죠.

그냥 기자의 뜬구름잡기식 루머퍼트리기같은 느낌인데...정작 이런 가능성이 얼마나 있는지는 모르겠습니다.
더군다나 새로운 말린스의 GM이 유망주에 관심이 많은데, 전체 18번픽을 내주고 영입할지도 의문입니다.
미드시즌에 빌 홀을 영입해서 인필드 영입을 추가할지도 의문이네요.

쓰다보니 가능성없어 보이네요-0-
