Umm

Cook, if you blow this, it will be our second missed shot at a four-game sweep with you pitching the finale. That is not what we expect from our ace. Cut it out.

rockies-phillies discussed holliday and fuentes trade

according to ken rosenthal the two teams were working on a trade before the philies got joe blanton. he thinks it would have been something like

“For Holliday and Fuentes, the Phillies probably would need to part with a package of Shane Victorino, left-hander J.A. Happ, Class AA right-hander Carlos Carrasco and Class AA catcher Lou Marson. Another of their better prospects, Class AA lefty Antonio Bastardo, has a slight tear in his labrum.”
http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/8356892/Aging-Manny-may-be-expendable-for-Red-Sox

anyone know anything about those prospects? sounds like the talks have died down but would that have been a good trade? i love matt holliday and really want the rockies to sign him long term but i just dont see that happening so if they do trade him it better be for a great package of players that are either MLB ready or very close

by purplesocks on Jul 20, 2008 1:29 PM MDT   0 recs

Right then.

Maybe they don’t want to play for a long time, and have decided to make things as quick as possible by getting no hit.

Iannetta

is putting up some serious offensive numbers.

Second half run?

by moomacher on Jul 20, 2008 2:02 PM MDT   0 recs

Yeah, well, we've already invited him to move in with us

Yorvit can move Elsewhere, remember?

Free Casey Weathers!!!!

by Silverblood on Jul 20, 2008 2:03 PM MDT to parent up   0 recs

Yorvit would be great as a backup

apparently he is not the best team player though. I’m not sure his contract his movable.

I love how

Cookie always seems to have low pitch counts, that is one of the overlooked aspects of pitching IMO. Even when he gets into trouble, he seems to have a relatively low pitch count (unlike Francis, U-ball)

I was just about to point out

that Barmes is hitting .220 in 50 July ABs. Then he hit a triple. So I’ll point it out anyway and then tell him to do it more often.

Alright

Stewie can stay for a while, as long as he is producing….wait…Tulo comes back tomorrow….looks like Stewie is getting DFAd

No

He’s operating as the regular third baseman while Helton’s out. Koshansky goes back to AAA.

And you don't DFA young 23 year olds

with two years of options…

For that matter you don’t DFA a guy like Koshanksy either, you OPTION.

I really really really do not get bunting there

I mean, WTF. Stewie was already in scoring position, and Cook is a good hitter, and there were no outs.

I cannot pretend to understand Hurdlelogic.

Duke just gave up back to back homers, and is facing Atkins with a high average against lefties…cmon Atkins!

Yorvit could have done that.

Yorvit?

Nah, he’s perfectly capable of watching good pitches from the bench.

by Silverblood on Jul 20, 2008 2:26 PM MDT to parent up   0 recs

I am not so sure

that might be stretching his capabilities, watching on the monitor while being the bullpen catcher is more Yorvits style

Heh

Yet again, I was just about to remark that Brad was probably toast when facing a LHP. And then he hit a double. Perhaps the Rockies are so desperate to please me that they want to forestall my criticism?
