Rockies Interested in Uggla

[Big Z]

Wow, now is the time for Larry and Michael to work those phones hard. Pedroia will most probably be out for about a month or so with a broken foot. The Sox need a 2B and they wanted Uggla in the off season, and we suck huge dick

Can't imagine Red Sox give us Kelly. Their system is very hitter heavy and we're going to want a legitimate SP candidate. He's all they got. Don't think Doubront is a centerpiece.

I would want a package including Lester

Lol, yeah I know that won't happen, nice to dream though

I won't say much about Uggla cause most know what I think however Colorado is looking at Ty Wigginton alot harder right now due to the fact he will come cheaper and can play the utility spot(1B,2B,3B,OF,PH) without crying about it

Lou is correct tho they match up great and a Spilboroughs,Morales,and Friederich offer would get us listening. This would then let us move Cody to SF or the Yankees for prospects.

Not on topic but Arizona,Minnesota and Detroit are interested in Pinto. More or less for a prospect and/or cash

Pinto bean signed a minor league deal with the Cardinals yesterday.

They better throw in some frost-brewed Coors Light.

The obvious fit, if they can convince the Marlins that they’re out of the race, is Dan Uggla. He’s a consistent +3 to +4 win player with power and patience who would thrive in Colorado, and at $8 million this year and due for another arbitration raise in the winter, he’s too pricey by Florida’s standards.

There are lesser second base options available as well, but Uggla is the natural fit, and you have to imagine that Dan O’Dowd and Larry Beinfest will have a conversation or two during July.

On The Farm

The Rockies have some quality pitching prospects, always useful chips when trying to make a deal, especially with Florida. From Jhoulys Chacin to Esmil Rogers and Christian Friedrich, there are several good arms making their way towards the majors. Given their rotation depth, the Rockies could afford to part with one of these guys in pursuit of an impact player.

Things are not quite as rosy on the position player front, but the team has so much young talent on the major league roster that it’s not a huge problem.

I would want Westmoreland from Boston more than anyone.

Marlins need to trade for young pitching, and talk about an insane injury risk regardless.

Wow I said the wrong guy, I meant Middlebrooks. Sorry. Yeah and I agree with Westmoreland.

I don't see the Rockies trading Jhoulys Chacin but he will make a great center piece for a possible Uggla trade.


Jhoulys Chacin and someone like Nolan Arenado sounds good to me.


He's not a pitcher but I can see us being interested in catcher Wilin Rosario (AA)

this discussion about trading Uggla makes me sick
