Odds & Ends: Orioles, Harper, Hanley

Links for Wednesday...

• Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports presents a slideshow of ten trades he thinks would make sense.
• In another article, Morosi says Bryce Harper is "one terrible role model."  Morosi contrasts Harper with Joe Mauer, who he says had an "uncontrived upbringing" but still became a well-paid star.
• The Mariners acquired minor league infielder Edgar Trejo from the Brewers for a player to be named later or cash considerations, tweets Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.
• Over at RotoAuthority, I took a look at 2009's top position players and pitchers in terms of fantasy baseball earnings, and what rounds those players were drafted in.
• The Orioles are replacing farm director David Stockstill, reports Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports.  Tony Pente of Orioles Hangout first hinted Monday of impending front office changes.
• Joel Sherman of the New York Post notes that March 31st at 2pm is "the deadline to release players with non-guaranteed contracts and owe just 45-day’s pay."  The Yankees' Chad Gaudin is one example, though a year ago with the Cubs Gaudin had a guaranteed contract.
• In light of the news that the Giants are shopping infielder Kevin Frandsen, Dave Cameron of U.S.S. Mariner explains why the Mariners acquiring him "seems like the most obvious move ever."
• Marlins president David Samson told Joe Capozzi of the Palm Beach Post he'd like Hanley Ramirez to retire a Marlin.  Fortunately, Ramirez is already signed through 2014.
