Saturday Rockpile: Why the Rockies need to go after Greinke, Tracy and co. to try pitching machine on the road

Apparently there IS an Off-Topic today.

Zack Greinke's future with the Royals, Yankees-Rangers and more - ESPN (Insider required)
According to Buster Olney, the Royals will be listening to "any and all offers" for Zack Greinke. I cannot put into words how well he would fit in with the Rockies; over the past three seasons in KC, Grienke has maintained a K/BB ratio of just under 4, allowed under 1 HR/9, will be just 27 at the start of '11, and is coming off the best GO/AO ratio of his career (1.25). Colorado would also suit Greinke well, as he has apparently become disenchanted with not playing for a contender (which the Rockies will be in 2011). In addition to all that, Greinke would be reunited with his 2009 signal caller Miguel Olivo, should he and the Rockies decide to agree to terms on a deal for next year.

Greinke will make $27MM over the next two seasons, which is a bargain of sorts if he performs anywhere close to his 2009 level. That price could make the mid-market Rockies shy away, but this is the kind of deal you have to make; if O'Dowd and company can do it without mortgaging too much of their future (i.e. don't trade Tyler Matzek or Wilin Rosario - everyone else is fair game), they need to pull the trigger.

Renck: Rockies need more than pixie dust - The Denver Post
It's interesting that Jim Tracy revealed to Troy Renck that the Rockies may start lugging around a pitching machine on the road to better simulate live pitching during BP. I know I mentioned this in a game thread or Rockpile a few weeks ago, so I know I'm certainly behind the idea. It definitely can't hurt, right?

Also, Renck mentions Dan O'Dowd doesn't have unrealistic expectations for the newly-hired Carney Lansford, and Yankees star Derek Jeter had some nice things to say about the man who idolizes him (Troy Tulowitzki):

"He had another great season, huh? I like his game."

YES YES YES! I want Greinke!

If not Matzek or Rosario, a deal would definitely have to include Friedrich, another top pitching prospect, and some major league ready talent (maybe someone like Nelson). I not quite sure how this deal would work, but I want to see the Rox try.

If they can do this and resign JDLR (I know, I'm really dreaming now),

They would have a filthy rotation: Ubaldo, Greinke, Chacin, JDLR, Hammel/Rogers/Cook/who cares!

Yeah, good call there.

I was pretty much only thinking of prospects, but obviously if they ask for either of the two guys I mentioned, or Chacin/Tulo/CarGo/Ubaldo, they can GTFO.

If the deal had to include Chacin

that would be a deal breaker as we are trying to win now and Chacin would be a big part of that. I think anyone but Matzek should be fair game including Rosario if it means we get to keep Freidrich.

I'd rather keep Rosario than Friedrich at this point,

Same here but I think Rosario will carry more value in trade and

I think a good lefty coming up the pipe could help a little more at this point since we have decent catchers right now and a few others like McKendry, Pacheco and eventually Swanner. The only other lefty coming up is Matzek who still needs to overcome control issues, though I would be estactic with a Greg Reynolds emergence to at least a servicable major league pitcher.

by Ender-25 on Oct 16, 2010 11:07 AM MDT up reply actions  

The asking price will be Friedrich/Chacin plus, which is why we won't get him.

Agreed

The deal would start with Chacin and go from there…

Since our window for winning a World Series is only 3 years or so, then why not include Chacin in a trade for Greinke? Zach could win 20 games for us in a single season once or twice in the next few seasons. I don’t think Chacin will accomplish that feat yet, if ever. That would give us two 20 game winners at the top of the rotation.

by roxhead on Oct 16, 2010 11:39 AM MDT up reply actions  

$$$$$$$$$

how MUCH better will Greinke be than Chacin for like 30 times the cost?

Not that I think that should be the limiting factor, I’m just throwing out thoughts.

Prospect news

Jason Grey at ESPN has a promising update on Rex Brothers in the Arizona Fall League.

a lot of 94s and 95s on the gun, with batters not necessarily getting a good look at it. That velocity was a little better than what I saw earlier in the year, and he can get ground balls with his heater…Brothers also showed a potential wipeout slider in the 86-87 range when he stays on top of it. The pitch has late, hard tilt and is a definite strikeout offering that a late-inning guy will need in the big leagues… He is on to track for those looking to stash away potential future closer candidates.

Intriguing, but not going to happen.

He’s a bit expensive and we’d have to pay too much. I’d rather the Rox used that money (and saved the prospects) to resign JDLR and get a good RH bat (I’m drooling for Butler, but I could live with Jackson).

Yeah, my username says it all.

I would love for the Rockies to get Butler

but where is he going to play? That would put Helton in a PH type role which might cause some problems. He has already accepted that he will have to be platooned, dont think Butler would want to be a part-time player and Helton won’t want to just be a PH….. and Helton isn’t going anywhere.

by Ender-25 on Oct 16, 2010 11:12 AM MDT up reply actions  

He has a full no trade rights and

without his extension and redistribution of his contract we would barely have enough to resign DLR more or less go after anyone else, I think that should afford him some consideration if he can prove useful as he was the second half of the 2010 season.

the guy has hit .260 before if he bounces anywhere near back he is a fine option

I like a Nady or Thames option or ask the Royals to throw Betemit in on a deal someone who can have turns in left on days where they are not spelling Todd. Obviously a healthy Todd would be the best case scenario, but I don’t think we can afford to keep a one dimensional bench bat like Giambi around as long as Todd is struggling

why make us dream about stuff that would never happen? Its so depressing....

We need to sign JDLR first, obviously. Then go for a big right-handed bat (not just another journeyman but an actual impact bat), whether its through trade or free agency. Another thing I would do, but its wishful thinking is to get a top starting pitching like a Greinke you suggested, or a Cliff Lee. Of course we need help in the BP as well. We have that window of opportunity to go out and win it all, I just wish for once that O’Dowd takes this opportunity to go out and risk some prospects and extra money to take advantage of this.

You can't always have the three-run homer card in the deck handy, like they had last night

You have to be creative sometimes to get a run across the board. The purpose of Hamilton running was to force the throw from Posada, so Andrus would come in and score. Would they have said that if Hughes had balked in the first run?

The same situation applies to local stations and satellite systems.

Been busy-ing myself a lot with uni work lately

But I’ve still been trying to catch as much baseball as I can.

Only reason I managed to drop by for this game is because the local sports network isn’t showing this game when they’ve shown every other game so far. Otherwise, I would’ve been watching this game on the telly (and thus wouldn’t be in front of the computer)

I've honestly always thought Cousins' strike zone was a little too small

But, that pitch Timmy cursed on was borderline at best. I can see why that was called a ball. No reason for him to blow up on that one.

Apparently it was a planned thing for Fox to use NFL music

because this is a big event. MLBONFOX twitter told me so. They also want to know what people think. All you tweeters, tell them it sucks.

It’s crap. I know exactly what they are doing. It’s a psychological game. EVERYONE knows that is the NFL on Fox music. It’s subliminal advertising. Hopefully people will complain. I might just join Twitter to lodge my complaint.

I'm about 3 minutes in, and I'm already LOVING it

I love how it took them about that long to figure out he was insulting them. That’s Philly for you.

Okay...

THAT. WAS. AWESOME.

I’m surprised he didn’t say anything about how dirty Philly is, though. :)

The moment I heard it, I thought of you and Casbah. I though you would like it.

My favorite part was the Rocky rant

He's so right, too...

I mean, really? A statue of Rocky?

This. I loved his point about no statue of Joe Frazier. That was dead on

Oh, it sure was

Really, my experience has told me that most of the I-95 corridor is far more racist than people believe.

He was mad because he was touring with a bunch of comics

and I guess the Philly crowd was drunk and heckled the previous comics to the point that they couldn’t/wouldn’t finish their sets. He went on for 15 minutes. Not kidding.

Ok HOw bout tomorrows match-up?

Oswalt still has the stain of Astros on him for me, We’ll see which Sanchez comes out. I would not be comfortable betting Giants Tmrw tho. I think their offense is going to go offif Sanchez is less then excellent

Yes, I actually do like cricket. I'm Indian.
Rockies are actually zombies. And they're coming to hunt you down just when you think they're buried.

The normal way I choose teams to cheer for is

1) Current home team
2) Home teams from other places that I’ve lived
3) Teams that friends & family cheer for
4) Teams from places that I like
5) Teams from places that I don’t have any strong feelings about
6) Teams from places that I dislike
7) Meteor
8) Teams against which I have an irrational grudge
9) Yankees

This year is awful. San Francisco would fall in case #2, except for the humidor nonsense, which puts them in case #7. The Yankees would be case #3, except that they’re the Yankees. Philadelphia would fall into case #5 (except for things like vomit and tasers and binoculars and t-shirts celebrating them), and Texas would be case #6.

But there’s some entertaining baseball, even if I’m going to abstain from cheering for anyone.

Hey Russ are you here?

You might want to check the SBNation Denver page. The first section under must read links is wonky
