Seattle Mariners Executive Vice President & General Manager of Baseball Operations Jack Zduriencik announced today that the team has acquired infielder Robert Andino from the Baltimore Orioles in exchange for outfielder Trayvon Robinson.
Andino, 28, hit .211 (81x384) with 41 runs, 13 doubles, 1 triple, 7 home runs and 28 RBI in 127 games for Baltimore in 2012. He appeared games at second base (108 G/96 GS), third base 15 G/9 GS, shortstop (2 G/GS) and one game each in left field and center field.
In parts of eight Major League seasons with Florida (2005-08) and Baltimore (2009-12), Andino is a career .235 (292x1244) hitter with 152 runs, 52 doubles, 1 triple, 18 home runs, 92 RBI in 439 games. The Miami, FL native was originally selected by the Florida Marlins in the second round of the 2002 amateur draft.
“The addition of Robert Andino gives us some experienced infield depth with a player who has played multiple positions” said Zduriencik. “With Robert having Major League and playoff experience and still relatively young, we thought that it made sense to make this trade and let him come in and compete.”
Thanks to Eddie.

1. Davo Mastroianni Posted: November 20, 2012 at 03:16 PM (#4306883)Robert Andino has 1.6 WAR in slightly more than two full-time seasons in MLB. This suggests to me that replacement level is set around 0.7 WAR too high over a full season.
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?
Robert Andino has 1.6 WAR in slightly more than two full-time seasons in MLB. This suggests to me that replacement level is set around 0.7 WAR too high over a full season.
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.
