Every (top notch) FA is bought up and sent to the AL

and kept out of the NL West.

I think I’m down to worrying about Manny. That’s not too bad at all.

Oh and to add....

How about a Peavy trade?

by roxintober on Dec 24, 2008 9:27 AM MST up reply actions 0 recs

Nah

Peavy would get rocked in Coors. He’s more dinger-prone than his numbers suggest, thanks to PetCo.

Personally

I’d like Manny.

problem is

if we brought in Manny, we HAVE to put Carlos Gonzalez in CF for the defensive benefit. Him or Cory Sullivan. The additional downside is that Spilborghs becomes a 4th OF AGAIN

Can we get Lincecum?

For cheap

Yes!

It’s been really hard hating the Giants recently because I love Lincecum so much.

I'd buy....

Be careful

what you ask for. The age of the hyperpower NY Yankees is over, not replaced by a bi- or multi-polar world but by an apolar world. Scary, that may be.

Yeah,

though I was alluding more to stuff Niall Feguson has written, with whom I have problems (had to read him recently).

Any of you guys

Ever check out Pujols’ wikipedia entry? I guess there are always factual concerns with wikipedia but this quote is interesting

“Few big league teams were very interested in Pujols. A Colorado Rockies scout reported favorably about the young hitter, but the club took no action. The Tampa Bay Devil Rays arranged a tryout for Pujols, but it went poorly (after the team did not draft him, the scout who had found Pujols resigned).”

I’d take Pujols for Christmas – this also plays nicely into my request that the Rockies invest any slack resources into a time machine…

by Resolution on Dec 24, 2008 10:36 AM MST reply actions 0 recs

Oh

and here’s the link to Pujols’ wiki page, should have included it. Be forewarned – there is nothing else Rockies-relevant on the page though.

This is a better wiki entry

I've heard that as well

…from ESPN or FSN or somewhere.

I believe the Cards actually fired the scout that got them Pujols last year.

Can the Rockies

Hire the guy?

My Xmas wish

would be for the Monforts to sell to Kroneke. I think I will be disappointed again though.

by PinchHitLancePainter on Dec 24, 2008 10:39 AM MST reply actions 0 recs

this would be my wish as well

by purplesocks on Dec 24, 2008 3:52 PM MST up reply actions 0 recs

I'd settle for

Mark Cuban. He’s trying to buy a baseball team.

Thought Clint Hurdle should be fired before it was cool.

Christmas wish

That the Rockies had available for spending 1/10 of the money the Yankees spent during the last 2 weeks.

Seriously

Eff the Yankees. Every time you think they can’t annoy you more, they do.

Blast and botheration.

Of all the wishes to Santa on this thread

At the risk

of being a bit sappy, I got my Christmas present a few days early…on Dec. 21, my beautiful daugher and future super-Rockies fan Julia was born. Happy holidays to all!
