Saturday Rockpile: David Wright Rumors Heat Up as Nolan Arenado Continues to Destroy the Arizona Fall League

You guys are probably sick of us continually writing about the Rockies third base situation, whether it's Ian Stewart, Ty Wigginton, or otherwise. However, it's also the Rockies' biggest offseason need and the one they've been the most open about wanting to fill, so we go where the story is. In today's case, the David Wright rumors are beginning to heat up, as the Mets have claimed to be open-minded when it comes to potential deals for their All-Star third sacker. If the Rockies do indeed have as much interest in Wright as has been reported, they'll need to take a careful look at what type of player he is heading into 2012 and beyond. In addition to that, whether or not they'll be able to extend his contract will have a lot to do with what they end up offering to the Mets in return. The Rockies have a lot of solid young pieces that could be moved for Wright without too much organizational consequence, and selling high on players such as Tim Wheeler and Edwar Cabrera would fit the bill nicely. Will the Mets bite? At any rate, things could get quitefun over the next few weeks.

Major League Baseball | Winter Leagues | Arizona Fall League | MLB.com: Events
The Arizona Fall League continues to roll along, with Rockies players still receiving good chunks of playing time. Nolan Arenado still leads the pack, as he is hitting .377/.393/.547 with a couple of homers and 19 RBI in 55+ plate appearances. Prospect guru and scout extraordinaire Keith Law discussed Arenado during his weekly chat:

Z3twv_medium

It seems that a proper comp for Arenado's immediate ceiling is 2006-2008 Garrett Atkins, and I would be completely unopposed to that. Atkins was below-average but also very much competent at third base. Arenado appears to be on the same track. He could also be much more than that.

Updates on other Rockies farmhands playing in the AFL:

Tim Wheeler - .255/.317/.455, 2 HR, 17 RBI
Ben Paulsen - .238/.304/.286, 0 HR, 3 RBI
Parker Frazier - 3.60 ERA, 8 K, 4 BB in 10 IP
Joe Gardner - 3.86 ERA, 11 K, 4 BB in 7 IP; 2.67 GO/AO ratio
Casey Weathers - 9.00 ERA, 4 K, 7 BB in 4 IP

Rockies' Spilborghs, Stewart in holding pattern - The Denver Post
Troy Renck discusses the situations for Ryan Spilborghs and the much-ballyhooed Ian Stewart. Both are non-tender candidates, and both are looking to play in winter ball leagues. However, they're recovering from injuries and don't want to take risks as they look to get contracts for the upcoming season. My personal belief is that, with Charlie Blackmon breaking into the big leagues and the Rockies going after Michael Cuddyer or Josh Willingham, Spilborghs will be non-tendered. However, if they don't land a Cuddyer or Willingham by the December 12th tender deadline, that could change. The club will likely hold on to Stewart either way, but 2012 will be Stewart's final chance to show that he is not Brandon Wood.

Rockies make Jerry Weinstein new catching coach - The Denver Post
Minor coaching staff change here, as Modesto manager Jerry Weinstein will begin serving as the Rockies' catching coach in 2012. Maybe he can make some waves with Wilin Rosario - although Tracy Ringolsby does not believe that Rosario will be with the big league club to start the season.

I like a comp between Arenado and Michael Young. High contact, solid power, not so great in the field but enough to get by.

Not good enough. There are a dozen teams that would love to have Wright on their team.

We aren’t paying for Wright as much as outpaying other teams for Wright.

No. Nononono. Not even close.

I doubt the Rockies trade White/Pomeranz, to be honest.

Wright isn’t going to come cheap. It’ll take one of Rosario/Bettis/Parker to just kickstart the deal.

What the hell is up with all the conflicting reports about Arenados fielding?

I don’t ever remember hearing so many conflicting reports about a prospects fielding…. First we hear that he is “Lumbering” and “duck footed”, but then the reports come in that he is actually not all that bad, and then that he might actually be average or slightly above it with some polish. Then a few days after hitting an inside the park home run we get this report about how he might be able to “Fake it”

What the ef?

My thoughts

based on all of the reports (because I haven’t seen him, and even if I did, I wouldn’t know what to look for), is that he seems like a guy who will play average defense but won’t necessarily make it look pretty.

by Resolution on Oct 22, 2011 12:15 PM MDT up reply actions  

The thing about Arenado’s defense is that you don’t have to know what to look for. He just looks awkward out there.

The ball gets hit to third and you are silently screaming “ohgodwhatishedoi—- oh, that actually turned out okay.”

He generally makes the right play, but it never looks easy.

I would also guess (and that's all this is) that his defense is still a work in progress and undergoing alterations

So he’ll have good days and bad days; depending on which day, or even week you see him he’ll look very different until he can zone in on what works best.

I was pretty disgusted after the Rockies season, but the rapid demise of the I-95 teams have helped with that.

Different eyes see different things.

I don’t think he deserved Cal League defensive player of the year, but he’ll be okay.

The lumbering describes his gait, and it’s actually quite accurate. He runs…weird.

by glaucophane on Oct 22, 2011 2:24 PM MDT up reply actions  

Defensively, I think he's more like Ron Cey than Atkins.

That will be a comp that a lot of people don’t remember, and I mostly know Cey from archival footage, but the gait is very much like the Penguin. And like Cey, Arenado’s actually somewhat athletic and a decent defender despite it. Atkins wasn’t ever much of an athlete after college and was really always a bit too hefty for the position, he looked like a first baseman playing third, Arenado fits the part a bit better. He’s not of the current Ryan Zimmerman or Evan Longoria prototype, but more of a throwback to the Cey/Mike Schmidt defensive style for the position in the late 70’s/80’s.

OU is a good 2nd half team. They are not out of it yet.

Plus, 3 of their starters aren’t even playing tonight. That don’t help them out either

Thank you Cookie for many years of service. Hope all goes well with you in your continued career.
Self taught and falling in love with this game is very easy to do, you can never hate it, and that is something that not one person can take away from anybody. The love of baseball and OUR COLORADO ROCKIES.

He is going to get PAID.

"Surgeons have determined that doing the wave will, yes, will cause tears to the suprapinatus muscle and the infraspinatus muscle from the throwing of an individual's arms rapidly into the air. In addition, any children doing the wave will be sold to the circus. Do NOT do the wave in the ballpark. Doing the wave is safe at pro football games and Miley Cyrus concerts.
