Colorado Rockies @ Florida Marlins GameThread, Jul 31, 2008 5:10 PM MDT

No deadline trades

Would anybody agree with me if I said that the Rockies didn’t need to make a move, that all they need is Francis/Hirsh/Morales to get healthy & effective?

I would.

I think the pieces are there, they just need to be functioning.

by Squeaky on Jul 31, 2008 4:24 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs

I agree…nothing needed to be done, but it would have been nice to get a good 5th starter and give up some of our heavy farm system.

by sprague1980 on Jul 31, 2008 4:24 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs

I would agree

Though we really need to get Francis AND either Hirsh or Morales (Hirsh slightly more likely at this point) to get going.

There were no starters out there worth what was being asked. However, I think we can easily pick Fogg off waivers in a few days, and give him a start or two. I wouldn’t get my hopes up, but there’s no reason to think he’d be worse than the unholy Redman/Wells/Rusch trinity, and a bit of reason to think he’d be better.

I retract a bit of what I’ve said on Rusch, but he’s really no better than Fogg.

I think the word "effective"

is key to your post, and far from a given for any of the three, particularly this year.

by Teekalong on Jul 31, 2008 4:37 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs

+1

I’ll even go as far as to say any one of the three. I do hope they make the best of the two draft picks they should get for Fuentes (assuming he’s not resigned) though. Sounds like those two picks are probably worth more than what anybody was offering in trade, plus we get Brian’s services for a couple more months. So no complaints from me today, aside from the minor annoyance of losing Arias to waivers.

I agree...

The Rockies dont need Josh Fogg. Once Francis is back the rotation, you’ll see Jimenez, De La Rosa, Cook, Francis and Rusch as the rotation, though not in that order. Morales you wont see until he improves his current situation and someone in the bullpen goes down to injury. The rest of the schedule is in our favor and if the Rockies are 3-4 games behind at the end of August, September is going to be exciting with 15 of the first 18 games at Coors Field.

Option?

I thought they sent him down because he had an option left. Thought that was what I read in an article.

by sprague1980 on Jul 31, 2008 4:33 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs

No

the Rockies took him off the 40 man roster when they called up Cory Sulivan and added him to the 40 man roster. When they take a guy off the 40 man the player has to clear waivers. Jason Nix cleared waivers twice this year.

I guess we can give players away at least. Arias was no star, but I thought he was an ok BP arm.

Is it a bit early...

....for Hurdle to pencil Tulo in at #2 in the lineup?

I know he’s been hot and swinging the bat well, but part of that could be because he’s been in a lower pressure spot.

Torrealba

Has been catching JDLR. I remember last time JDLR pitched, Jeff and Jack were saying that while Clint doesn’t really like to get in situations where a pitcher has a personal catcher, the two have been working really well together (it didn’t sound like only a language thing).

So while I generally agree with you, I think it has more to do with the pitcher in this case.

Random question

As a rockies fan would you trade our history for the Marlins? Are two World Champions worth the total fire sales and ridiculously low budgets…And here’s an amazing stat to help you ponder:

Rockies 1993-2008 1164-1313 0.470
Marlins (1993-2008) 1169-1302 0.473

Five win difference in 15 years!

Second half run?

by moomacher on Jul 31, 2008 5:21 PM MDT reply actions 0 recs

I wouldn't trade it for anything

World Series titles aside, the history of the Marlins as a franchise, is shameful. Threats to move year after year, the worst budgets and payrolls, no real fan base to speak of. Sure they rented a few players for their 1997 run as nothing but a calculated gamble to get a boondoggle domed stadium.

No, they may have a better record in terms of progress once in the playoffs, but don’t forget, both clubs have made the postseason the same number of times. If we’d have somehow won it last fall, we wouldn’t really even have this conversation.

Watching the purple row from high atop the big brown monolith on California Ave

by Mondogarage on Jul 31, 2008 5:24 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs

That's the key, though

“if we’d have somehow won it last fall”. We didn’t, and Florida did (twice). We didn’t even manage to win a game. They have two rings. The Cubs don’t have any for a century, the Dodgers have exactly one playoff game win since the Marlins were created. Sure it would suck to be jerked around so much, but the glory of those titles would make it all fall away. And its not like our history is littered with close calls and awesome Septembers…

by Teekalong on Jul 31, 2008 5:27 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs

Yup, we have no rings, but...

The Marlins have no history, no continuity, no sense of attachment. 11 years removed from their 1st World Series, and most people (Purple Row readers notwithstanding, of course), probably can’t name one player from that 1997 Marlins club.

I mean, would you rather have the franchise history of the Marlins, or of either the Cubs or Dodgers.

The Marlins have fans?

Rhetorical, sure, but given their average attendance through the years, certainly not many, never mind how much more populous the Miami-Dade County area is than here.

What difference does it make?

Are we less fans of the Rockies than Dodger fans? Yankees? Hell, I suspect the Rockies would easily fall within the bottom 5 of overall fanbases in the league. I don’t feel like less of a fan for that. Do you?

by Teekalong on Jul 31, 2008 5:59 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs

Maybe I'm not making my point clearly enough

There are very few fans of the Marlins…very few. So while those very few may remember a couple players from the 1997 team, it almost doesn’t matter. That franchise’s history has driven so many people away from fandom that having won two rings hasn’t mattered.

That is an interesting question

but I don’t think it took me more than 5 seconds to decide for the Fish. The WS last year was unreal, and we got crushed. I can’t imagine how it would feel to win one of those things, let alone winning two. And the fire sales certainly are lame, but not too far different from just never really signing anyone expensive for 5 years and not being competitive.

by Teekalong on Jul 31, 2008 5:25 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs

I'm personally of two minds

obviously the rockies are in a better place from a long term franchise perspective. Consider attendance so far this year. We are averaging double the attendance they are. But the Marlins seem much better at getting rid of veterans and reloading than we do. Less sentimental.

Are you kidding?

I would trade my right arm for a local team that won two championships in its first 11 years of existence, as the Marlins have done. They’ve also had far better homegrown talent come up over the years, from Josh Beckett to Miguel Cabrera. What a great franchise the Rockies would be here in Denver, in our venue, with our fans, if we had been 2-time champions. We would still be selling out half the games.

That I wouldn’t trade last Sept. and Rocktober for love nor money. Yeah, we got our butts kicked in the Series. So?

We lived history last fall. Not with a bunch of rentals, but with our home-growns largely. It was the most exciting period in sports that I’ve ever lived through. The Fish can have their rings. We’ll get ours someday. But I’ll never ever forget the fall of 2007.

who we need

is Jason Hirsh

Aut Vincam Aut Periam

by PioneerSkies on Jul 31, 2008 6:39 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs

I don't get it

why do we need Hirsh so much? We need good pitchers that we can count on. Hirsh may be that, I’m not holding my breath.

by Teekalong on Jul 31, 2008 6:43 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs

We need Hirshey

to be in the rotation. Healthy and effective, we can count on him. If the Rockies want a shot at winning the west our rotation needs to be:
1) Cook
2) Jimenez
3) Francis
4) Hirsh
5) Morales/Reynolds

Until this takes shape, we’ll still be floundering a half-dozen games out of first (at best). Like you say, we need pitchers that we can count on. JDLR is too inconsistent to be counted on, even when he’s been pitching well. Same goes for Rusch. We’ve had some decent, at times impressive, starts out of these two, but that couldn’t last. Nights like tonight were bound to happen. DLR and Rusch are good stopgap options. This team is going nowhere if they’re mainstays in the rotation (and the stopgap becomes Valerio De Los Santos). That is why we need Hirsh. Last year, Jason Hirsh was pitching better and better every start until he got hurt. Consequently, the injury stunted his development, which is why he’s been in the minors so long this season. Once he gets back to form, he’ll be solid and dependable.

Aut Vincam Aut Periam

by PioneerSkies on Jul 31, 2008 6:55 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs

I guess so

I’m just not sold that Hirsh will ever be that reliable. He was pitching better in the last few games before his injury, but he was still at best a #5 guy and to me, his stuff was hardly too exciting. Add to that, it has taken him FOREVER to get healthy and has not been able to be good enough to pitch for a team with no pitching…who knows. I just suspect he’ll be battling for the #5 job next year (assuming we add a decent guy to go with Cook/Jiminez/Francine) and I wouldn’t bet on him.

Lets try to be optimistic

I mean, assuming we lose this game….this road trip is still 4-3…

Remember though

one game, in itself, cannot doom a whole season. We still have 52 games left, and we are only 7 games back (8 assuming AZ wins). We have a talented team, they are having an off night at the plate. Now then, DFA Wells immediately. He will provide nothing for the team. Bring up Hirsh, and Morales.
