Rockies Interested in Uggla

[Metes]

He was seen at Dave and Busters with Brett Carroll and Dontrelle Willis

Dontrelle paid. What a guy!

[Fish and Chips]

you love the cheese

i have sources that have confirmed and denied this

[Miamarlin21]

They won't give up Gordon, no way.

[Ramp]

where'd that come from?

oh, Gordon Beckham

[Miamarlin21]

Yea, I doubt it. I don't even like Hudson so I am not a fan of trading with the White Sox. However, I will watch their show on MLBnetwork

[Miamarlin21]

What about getting Iannetta and trying him out at third? Get Friedrich, Iannetta, and Morales or Brothers for Uggla, Vandy and/or Tucker?


Another idea I thought of but is extremely unrealistic is this. What about a swap of Maybin and Fowler? Just something that popped into my head. Probably a horrible idea and totally unrealistic. Thoughts?

They have a huge option of Hawpe next year, like $10 million, which they aren't going to pick up because they have Gonzalez, Fowler, and Smith/Spilboroughs to cover the outfield. Fowler is a big piece for them they need, and playing A LOT better. I'd say he is untouchable as Mike Stanton.

If it's Colorado, it's Chacin/Friedrich, and a big bullpen arm. Ianetta is cool, but we need pitching not more catching projects.

Uggla on radar.

There were strong indications Monday that the Rockies remain interested in Florida's Dan Uggla. There's no urgency because Colorado's needs change weekly. But Uggla would give the Rockies a proven right-handed bat — though where he would play is a question. The Rockies don't need a second baseman, meaning Uggla could see time at third or even first base, the latter a sensitive issue given Todd Helton's uncertain future.
There are obstacles. Colorado would presumably want Florida to eat money if it wants a premium prospect — and the Marlins are never inclined to do that. And Uggla has always been lukewarm about playing anywhere but second base. But it's worth watching if the blend of Helton-Brad Eldred-Jason Giambi-Melvin Mora-Brad Hawpe-Chris Iannetta falters on the upcoming road trip.

I'm not going to quote it for sheer stupidity, but rotoworld says a 1-1 straight swap of Ianetta for Uggla "makes sense."

I immediately facepalmed.

[Miamarlin21]

And I also don't understand why we'd want "Barmes and a prospect for Uggla"

That doesn't make any sense to me.

VENISON!

I could go for some deer right now. I make an awesome chip dip with deer burger, velveta, and mushroom soup.
