Purple Row Radio Interview with KCSF AM 1300

by Jeff Aberle on Aug 3, 2011 11:00 AM MDT in Purple Row and the Outside World

I had the opportunity yesterday afternoon to appear once again on the Pauley and Wheelz show for KCSF AM 1300 the Sports Animal, a Colorado Springs based radio station. In the 10 minute clip linked below the jump, we discuss (among other things) the Ubaldo Jimenez trade, Colorado's lack of other deadline activity, and the potential for an Ian Stewart trade this off-season.

You'll no doubt notice that the opinions I use in this interview regarding the trade don't necessarily jive with the opinions I espoused in today's Rockpile. There are a few reasons for this:

1. Radio is a very different medium than the blogosphere. I'm trying to be clear to a broad range of fans, so I didn't bring concepts like surplus value or WAR projection into any of my points.

2.I treat these interviews as if I'm representing Purple Row as a whole, so I tried in this interview to give input that better reflected what I saw as the opinion of Purple Row rather than purely my own take. As a whole, I think that the community is of the opinion that this move was good to replenish Colorado's pitching depth, so I went with that opinion on air.

3. I really do like Pomeranz and White as prospects -- I just think they're very risky to project as having significant MLB success.

I think it's a split opinion among the writers on the Row,

Or perhaps a slim majority with a very substantive minority opinion, but it’s still a solid interview. You rep us well.

Great interview, Jeff.

Almost makes up for your Sunday losing streak.

This year sucks.

Excellent interview, Jeff

though in the future, I think you should just voice your own opinions instead of trying to represent the board as you see it. There’s a reason you’re a writer on here, and that’s because your opinions are almost always well thought out and complete (no matter how much I may disagree with them).

Stick to your guns!

I agree with you

Some here come out with a “I don’t know what to think of this” posting and you can see their opinion change as people they “like” start stating theirs.
Its better if the interviews, and such, are just the interviewees position, and not a conglomeration (sp?) of what the board thinks. There reason people read here, is the writers and the ideas they elicit from others.
