I like Sean Burroughs. I saw him play in Portland and was impressed with what I saw, but it's be a couple of years and I just don't know if he's the cornerstone 3rd baseman the team thought he would be, and he has nagging injuries more frequently then I would like to see. He plays nice defense, and puts up a decent BA. but the RBIs and the power are almost nowhere to be found as far as 3rd is concerned. Sounds like Blum is going to challenge to take over the starting roll, but I don't see him terrorizing pitchers either. Sean seems like a nice guy but he doesn't produce the kind of offense that is expected from his position.
Alright so what are the solutions? I know most people with think I'm going out on a limb here, but why not go after Adrian Beltre? Granted he isn't playing like he did last year, but part of that has to be that he hasn't faced the majority of the pitchers he's facing, and the Mariners are not that great a team. He signed a hefty contract, but we can afford it, and we all know he has the ability to put up great numbers at the hot corner.
No idea what they would want us to give up in return for Beltre, but Im really not expecting this to come to fruitiion either. Although I'll be the last to complain if it did happen :D
