Troy Tulowitzki considering asking Rockies for trade, per report

[Chris]

Pass, don't want to mess up the future rotation of: Richards, Skaggs, Heaney, Tropeano, Newcomb

[zenmaster]

This sounds oddly familiar. Pass. Our track record with 30+ year old superstars isn't all that hot.

Newcomb

Tulo

[nando714]

I could see Yanks going for it.

Or the Mets

Or st louis

For

Tulo

I really like Tulo, and I think he would be awesome to have, but you can't give up three starting pitchers, not with two having the upside of Heaney and Newcombe for anyone not named Kershaw or perhaps MadBum. I would do Heaney, Kubitza and Santiago and then move Aybar to third or LF.

[NorCal Halo]

I would think that Ryan Braun is more plausible than Troy Tulowitzki.

Personally I wouldn't make a trade like that for Tulo jerry has worked too hard to rebuild the sp depth. I just think it'd take something along those lines to get tulo

[Angel Oracle]

And if for whatever reason Arte acquires YET another 30+ aged big contract player who's either declining or hurt a lot, it's Tulo who would move to 3B. Aybar stays at SS, and Kubitza learns LF.

But hopefully Arte is no longer starry eyed, and passes on a talented but oft injured 30 year-old still due $110 million.

Agreed due to being much less injury prone, but I still wouldn't trade for Braun either.

He is declining, and also still due $110 million.

No thanks at trading Aybar, or replacing him.  I want that gold glove defense at shortstop until Aybar is too old to hit.  Tulo would be nice for DH, and occasional SS starts to spell Aybar.  DHing him would reduce injury risk.  Or maybe he could play 2B for some starts too.  The good thing is he wont have to play the field every day for us.  

[Stradling]

I thought Tulo was an elite defensive SS, am I wrong? I know he has a ridiculous arm. My ideal scenario would be to put Tulo at 3rd and leave Aybar at SS.

[Hollyw00d]

We would empty the farm for him and he would come here and post a .720 ops

[Docwaukee]

I can't think of a riskier player to acquire.  

 

He's owed a ton of money, would cost a ton of prospects to get, is oft injured, and plays in colorado with discrepant home/road splits.  

 

Plus, we have a SS that wouldn't likely be included because his contract is nearly up so someone would be playing out of position.  

 

not only is it a square peg in a round hole, but it's just a bad idea.  

[Homebrewer]

If someone can talk Tulo into going to the commish, and telling him he was doing coke in a strip club in the off season, we could get him for a low-level PTBNL and a few pennies on the dollar, right?

Don't even have to worry about a suspension or anything..

[Revad]

with that contract you can't expect to have to pay *that* much right?

i mean $110m owed, not many teams will take that on.

gmjr, one of the strippers from hamilton latest coke binge, and cron for tulo and a PTBNL.

rockies have to eat $2m of his contract.

Let's make a stripper to be named on board consensis

[Vegas Halo Fan]

Take that pic of Hamilton with the hookers, paste Tulo's head over Hamilton's and send it to the MLB offices. Problem solved.

[ukyah]

if he goes anywhere, the mets and orioles would be two terrific fits.
