Wait….I had something for this.
Read More...Cubs outfielder Alfonso Soriano told reporters on Monday that he’d accept a trade to “six or seven” other teams (ESPN Chicago).
As Paul Sullivan of the Chicago Tribune reminds us, Soriano last year had the chance to approve a trade to the Giants, eventual winners of belt and title, but opted not to do so. This time around, Soriano adds that he’d give the go-ahead for a team in the “east or center,” so perhaps nothing’s changed when it comes to his willingness ...

The technical term for what you're looking for is "sucker".
Athlete who can't actually play baseball. My recollection is the Mariners got quite a bit of credit for getting him from the Dodgers in a three team deal that sent Bedard to the Red Sox at the deadline in 2011.
Yeah, love that guy, but he was pretty awful this year.
/New name?

Are you saying he was actually worth 3.2 WAR over that time period? Or do you mean that replacement level is too low and that Andino is really the replacement level?
I'm not going to look up Andino's stats vs. the Halos. Because with my luck.....
Had a friend approach me to bet Buehrle wouldn't hit 160 IP this year.....
Nice work.
They did.
Robinson is an athlete who can kinda/sorta hit sometimes, and certainly has the tools to do so, so predictably he hit a bunch of bombs in Albequere, where everyone hits bombs all the time, so people (for some reason) thought he could actually hit for real all the sudden. And he couldn't.
Robinson hit something like 26 HRs to 8 2Bs in his breakout year in Albequerque. I have no kind of research to base this on, but I have always been super suspicious of guys with lots of HRs and few doubles. It isn't like you wish some of those HRs woulda stayed inside the park, but it just screams fluke or risky to me.
Remember kids, what happens in Albuquerque and Las Vegas, stays in Las Vegas and Albuquerque and that goes for batting stats as more than anything.
