Pirates SS Jack Wilson & P Ian Snell dealt to Seattle
Well, there goes both the Yankees(Snell) & Red Sox(Wilson) Plan C’s for the trade deadline.
Breaking down this trade for the one Mariners fan I know in the world:
Seattle gets a solid starting shortstop and a back of the rotation guy. Not exactly the type of deal signifying that you should book tickets for an October parade in 2010.
Pittsburgh gets Ronny Cedeno(a below average SS), Jeff Clement(very good 1B or catching prospect for the Pirates to develop and trade in 2013), Nathan Adcock(24th best prospect in BA), Aaron Pribanic(27th in BA), & Brett Lorin(28th in BA). The last 3 guys all project as back of the rotation pitchers, with a ceiling as a #3 starter, or power arms for the bullpen.
Final Verdict: If only one of the pitchers reach their potential, all are under the age of 23, then the Pirates win this deal by a wide margin.
I don’t understand why Seattle even bothers trying to contend. (Coming from a former Mariners season ticket holder.)
