Sunday Morning Rockpile:

by Rox Girl on Jul 20, 2008 10:32 AM MDT in Rockpile

Yorvit Torrealba thinks he'd be better off Elsewhere, but the problem is that Elsewhere doesn't really feel the same way about him. Elsewhere likes that Torrealba's just a friend and would feel smothered and awkward with Yorvit moving in all of the sudden. Elsewhere needs its space. Which is bad for us, because we were really hoping that things would work out with Elsewhere and Yorvit, because he's been eating all of our Cap'n Crunch and we really think things could heat up with our dreamy new guy, Chris if this mopey third wheel wasn't always hanging around.

Other notes mentioned there are the bad news of Greg Reynolds' arm soreness and the likelihood that Joe Koshansky will get sent back to AAA tomorrow when Tulo returns.

Jayson Nix is brushing up on his Mandarin, as the one team that really wants him right now is America's team. The U.S. is hoping the visit goes well enough for John Adams to wirte an operatic sequel to this event.

Along with various stories about the chitchat and what not. We definitely did not have as much time to talk with the guys as last year (damn bandwagoners), which is sad. You really had to squeeze your way in and fight for a spot (no punches were thrown), and the guys needed to keep moving on, so we really had no time for anything but a few passing words. Nevertheless, it was a great time (REALLY REALLY hot), so I’m very glad we went…but after all that, I completely forgot to mention to any player that it was my bday (or at least, close enough to fudge it). Oh well. Not a big deal.

I really hope that Elsewhere can be persuaded to take Yorvit, because he’s doing nothing by sitting around and whining about playing time.

The 2008 Rockies: All loses, all season

Anyone hear about this one?

Holliday and Fuentes?

Foxsports.com reported that the Phillies and Rockies were working on a multiplayer deal that would have netted the Phils outfielder Matt Holliday and lefthanded reliever Brian Fuentes.

The deal, which reportedly would have cost the Phillies outfielder Shane Victorino, catcher Lou Marson and pitchers Carlos Carrasco and J.A. Happ, could not be finalized, according to the report.

A deal for Fuentes is still possible. The Rockies have scouted Carrasco and Marson at double A in recent days. A major-league scout said yesterday that there is much competition to land Fuentes.
