Berselius’s offseason predictions + brainstorming about trades
Another Cubs Blog (Free subscription) | 29/11/2009
Here’s what I think will go down this offseason: Milton Bradley + cash————-> Pat Burrell Cubs sign Marlon Byrd to a 3 year, $24mm contract Micah Hoffpauir and Andres Blanco will be released (I don’t think Hoffpauir has another option year). That’s pretty much it, though I think Hendry will be active on the trade market (more on this below)....

... Bradley will be dealt and who will be acquired to replace him). It's pretty clear to me that Micah Hoffpauir is exactly who a lot of us said he was -- a Quadruple-A player, someone who can dominate at the Triple-A level but is exposed in the major leagues. Getting extended playing time in 2009 due to injuries, Hoffpauir hit .239/.300/.427 and hit so poorly from June 1-August 2 (.179/.216/.357)...

After being released by the Blue Jays, Reed Johnson was a free agent prior to the 2008 season. He had not yet accrued 6 years of MLB service time so he was no eligible to file for free agency when the 2008 season ended. He was only arbitration eligible....

... whom the Tigers either could keep or move elsewhere. Those players include Jake Fox, Micah Hoffpauir, Tom Gorzelanny, Aaron Heilman, Mike Fontenot and Aaron Miles. I have to think Castro is pretty much untouchable. And honestly, a player of his potential might be too high a price for a player like Granderson. Granderson is certainly not the 7.1 WAR player he was a couple years back. He’s...

Hoffpauir had made his ML debut in 2009, and projected as a 2B. Looks like the organization is sticking with Schumaker long-term, which meant Hoffpauir was blocked at his natural position. - Brad Thompson released . The baby-faced kid is a...

Hoffpauir continues the interesting “former Cardinal” theme the Jays have had recently.
