Rockies Interested in Uggla

[LocoMarlinFan]

Rex Brother is not a centerpiece and Esmil Rogers is not MLB ready.

Like wanks said, I wouldn't have a problem in us getting Rogers as long as it's for Cantu.


Rogers stats are not pretty http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/m...pbp&pid=469134

According to Tracy Ringolsby, the Rockies haven't discussed Dan Uggla with the Marlins since the winter.
The Denver Post's Troy Renck and ESPN's Buster Olney have both talked about the Rockies' interest in Uggla, though neither said the team was involved in talks with the Marlins. Ringolsby, a Clint Barmes fan, seems to be taking the idea personally, tweeting: "If Tulo is healthy, (the Rockies) don't need middle infielder."

I like Tony Schiavone

Tony Shalhoub

The Rockies don't need a middle infielder because they have Clint Barmes like the Padres don't need a middle infielder because they have David Eckstein.

I've been on the internet before, and something tells me this is sarcasm.

[wanks1212]

Sir, there is no sarcasm on the internet.

Next season. Him and Cody.

I believe, not 100 percent though, that Ricky isn't a free agent until after the 2012 season. I may be wrong though.

We have Nolasco's arbitration 2011 and 2012 despite what national media says

Why would having David Eckstein stop you from bringing anyone in?

because he is like totally like elite and stuff, heck wish we could get him for hanely and play him next to bonerface. They could be the speediest players in the league with the it factor. Total game changers.

Because people are stupid and value things like hustle and grittiness.

David Eckstein isnt speedy.

[Metes]

But he's a Gator, therefore not Gator bait

[nny]

Eckstein has been an above average 2b this year going by WAR

Haters gonna hate

Frisaro tweets that Uggla is likely to be retained, and for 2011 as well. So I expect him to be a Rockie tomorrow.

Marlins likely to keep Uggla
For more than a year, Dan Uggla's name has been tossed around in trade rumors. Of late, he's been linked in speculation with the Rockies, who have liked him for a couple of seasons.

While the Marlins have a policy of listening to possible offers on just about anyone on their team, there are indications that the club is not leaning toward trading the two-time All-Star second baseman.

In his fifth season with Florida, Uggla is a core player who is in his second season of arbitration.

The Marlins are considering retaining Uggla, not only for the remainder of the year, but to sign him again for 2011, his final season of arbitration. The organization could seek a long-term contract in the offseason, but that decision has not been determined.

What is clear is Uggla is a player the Marlins value and hope to build around, barring a trade offer that is too tempting to pass up.

Uggla paces the team with 16 homers. He has driven in 52 runs, and he's batting .283.

In the clubhouse, Uggla's leadership is valued.

The Marlins are in the midst of a 10-game homestand, and no trades are expected until after it is concluded on July 25.

A couple of deals are possible. The two position players who may be moved are Jorge Cantu and Cody Ross. Wes Helms is a veteran who has attracted the attention of some teams, including the Yankees. The Marlins also value Helms, and hope to make him part of the organization in a coaching capacity once his playing days are over.
