If USSM was suggesting we trade Morrow to the Brewers for Hardy, I'm suggesting the USSM enjoys too much cannibus.
Morrow, if he gets traded at all, would be in a deal to the Nats for Dunn...that's the only high profile player who is available in trade who I'd be willing to move Morrow for. My questions about Morrow's mental make-up, his durability, and his econdary pitchers make him the high-value piece I move in trade if I'm getting something I REALLY need. Hardy is not something I really need. He's an "it would be nice if I could get..." I learned from my father's Navy background...when you make plans and have to spend resources on those plans...you don't start with the dream scenario...you don't ask when you WANT to accomplish. You ask what you NEED to accomplish.
I will disagree with you a tad on the triple-move commentary....you said acquiring Hardy, Hudson and Danks moved the org problem from SS to 2B...I say O-Hud is a much better fit for Safeco Field and a better bet to age well than Hardy. So no...I think after that swap, the Mariners' problem is still squarely at shortstop.
