Hardy for Morrow?

Hey Everyone,

Interesting idea I've heard shuffled around, not a rumor, just an idea. This was brought up by Dave Cameron of Seattle and has been repeated now by a couple other sources.

J.J. Hardy for Braden Morrow

The Mariners need a shortstop. They could get two years of Hardy for a decent price. Brewers desperately need pitching depth. They could get four years of Morrow, one year at super cheap.

It helps that current Mariners GM Zduriencik was the scouting director in Milwaukee when the Brewers drafted Hardy.

Both are coming off of down years. Hardy should still pan out as a plus SS, and the free agent market is not exactly awesome. Morrow has shown flashes of brilliance and can hopefully still pan out in the rotation. New 'Crew pitching coach Peterson may be able to help that out.

I like the idea. I would prefer a more established starter, but the idea of four years of control for very little price makes it extremely tempting. Thoughts?

Brew Up.
