Earlier this week, we learned that veteran left hander Jamie Moyer, who missed the entire 2011 season due to Tommy John surgery, wants to make a comeback in 2012. And according to Dave Cameron of U.S.S Mariners, the Mariners should sign him.

Cameron says that the Mariners have a “massive, glaring hole at the back-end of their rotation,” and Moyer could be a temporary answer for their problems. “All Moyer wants is a minor league contract with an invite to spring training and a chance to make a big league club,” says Cameron.

Moyer still lives in Seattle, wants to pitch in the Majors next season and the Mariners need pitching depth, so it looks like a good opportunity for both parties. Moyer injured his elbow in July 2010 and was rehabbing it in the Dominican Republic last winter before he re-injured it.

According to Cameron, “this should be the most obvious transaction of the winter. Sign Moyer.”
