It’s funny how sometimes people can go completely unnoticed until something happens they had nothing to do with. Today, Trayvon Robinson got traded to the Baltimore Orioles for Robert Andino. Most of you right now after the fact cannot even tell me where he played before, how old he is, or whether he is bad, good or a prospect. Well it just so happens that I know a little about Trayvon Robinson as he has been a part of the Mariners’ organization for the last year and a half.
Quickly I will explain who he is from a strictly statistical perspective before I delve into the more important issues.
In 90 games he has a .215 BA, .272 OBP .330 SLG. He has 7 career SB and 5 Career HR. He can play left field or center field, and has an average to below average arm.
Now to the Important stuff. He’s only 25, He has a cool name, although it carries different connotations now than when he first showed up with the Mariners, he is out of Crenshaw High School in L.A. and is black. He is out of Minor...

He used to be very successful at baseball

Relative to other players, he is little

"Given Robert Andino's down 2012, I suggested the Orioles might want to look elsewhere for a starting second baseman for 2013 if they wanted to be competitive again. When the O's picked up Alexi Casilla, the writing was kind of on the wall Andino wasn't going to be getting a starting job with the team next season. And now, as it turns it, he won't be getting...

I was reading MetsBlog’s take by Matt Cerrone on why he feels the Mets should jump on the recently released Chone Figgins.
Figgins was pretty terrible last season. I’m talking Jason Bay-level terrible. He was no better in 2011.
To be an upgrade for the Mets, he wouldn’t even have to be close to what he did 2009. I mean, his 2007, 2008 would be a significant upgrade, frankly...
