While not alot of the activity involved our favorite team, I'm dizzy from all the signings and trades that have already happened this winter.
So, just wondering what all the general managers could possibly talk about at the Winter Meetings in Orlando tomorrow...
(Usually, I can give credit for an illustration's idea to someone's comment here, and while that's what happened I couldn't find it. So anyway, whoever did make that comment wondering if the gms would have anything to talk about...thanks!)

Some talk of Brett Anderson and A's have had prior interest in Schierholtz and Barney...
normally I don't bother with those, but it actually makes some sense, other pieces would certainly be involved, but sounds like a good starting point for talks.

to be clear, A's at some point in the past may have asked about Schierholtz and Barney, doesn't mean they are asking now
I think Gentry possibly filled any OF depth issues, Barney may have some use to them and Anderson is certainly someone they'd deal to get out of his contract (they are the A's afterall), but no one knows exactly what they're looking for now. But they always have an eye on this season and the following seasons, so I'm sure there's some options out there.
they could probably use starting pitch depth, maybe a swingman like Villanueva or maybe a player that has more option years left than Anderson. Maybe they don't match up at all...

Domonic Brown for Samardzija sounds perfect :)
Brown for Schierholtz
Brown for Schierholtz/Samardzija would make some sense as a starting point, obviously Phillies would need to add some prospects of which they have few, not sure if they'd deal Jesse Biddle.
Brown's not due for free agency until after 2017 season.
Can the Phillies Match Up
Biddle + Brown for Samardzija
Biddle + Brown for Samardzija would be a helluva deal for Cubs imo, also probably a pipedream.
some folks seem to be freaking about Brown fading in the second half, but at age 25, no reason to freak out too much. #4 prospect in baseball heading into 2011, the path isn't always linear. BB rate over 10% in the minors, just under 9% in minors and with Bryant and Soler, he'd probably eventually move to left field.
Still a lot of potential in there, major league ready and 4 years of service time and Cubs could use some left-handed power.

way to kill my buzz...although as I said, think you'd have to throw in Biddle to make the deal and not sure he's available.
that being said, a pretty consistent 18.4% career K rate isn't indicitive of a huge hole in his swing and seems like he's played long enough that they'd figure it out by now.
