UPDATE: The Colorado Rockies & Angels Trade Talks Cool - Rockies Pursue Justin Morneau

[Docwaukee]

I like Eddie Butler, Chacin, Chatwood.

 

I cannot comment any further guys without telling you who it is. This isn't a game or that I'm being a tease, just passing on to you what I heard tonight.

 

It's a significant player from our side going to Colorado if the deal is consummated between both sides.

 

I would drop a scud if it's Hamilton. 

[HaloCory22]

So you can say significant player from our team but can't confirm for their end on that? You're breaking my balls, Chuck.

Who do the Rockies have in middle relief depth

 

We all know thats what Dipoto is looking at

[Docwaukee]

Why would anyone want Chatwood back? 

 

1.428 WHIP

9.5 H/9

3.3 BB/9

5.3 K/9

1.61K/BB

 

That is just flat out ugly

I agree.  that's about as much smoke and mirrors as I can imagine for a pitcher. 

[Docwaukee]

Hamilton and cash for Butler and a reliever. 

[Troll Daddy]

Trumbo and Chatwood

[OregonLAA]

Will Bettis' numbers translate to the bigs?

[Docwaukee]

BTW, could you imagine how retarded Dipoto would look if he traded Chatwood for Ianetta and then Trumbo for Chatwood?

[HaloCory22]

Betancourt perhaps?

[Docwaukee]

Will Bettis' numbers translate to the bigs?

they say he's got two plus pitches (fastball and breaker) and his changeup is potentially MLB average.  Potential to be a #3.  Downside is a late inning reliever.

Matt Belisle. Averaged 75 appearances each of the last four years. Good numbers in 2010 and 2011, not so great the last two seasons. Also, he's 33 years old.

 

Control pitcher, low # of walks. SO/BB of 4.13 last year, 3.24 career.

Thanks, now I can't sleep tonight. I need some closure

[YouthofToday]

It really isn't Colorado's MO to trade pitching prospects or cost-controlled starters.

If I had to bet here, without any evidence, it would something like Jorge de la Rosa and a MI prospect for Trumbo.

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

Betancourt perhaps?

He's a free agent. 

[Chuck]

Hey guys, I hate to drop this kind of news and then bail, but I have to wake up at 4 am in the morning. I'll check my messages in the morning and circle back to this thread with an update if I have one.

 

Goodnight.

[Thomas]

Shouldn't we be thinking what crap trade the Angels could pull off so we could be more accurate? Also less heartbreak later.

[Brent Maguire]

The Butler and Bettis idea is actually great.

That helps us and them in a lot of ways.

your phone is going to be blowing up for the next three hours.  you better put it under the bed. 

[jshep]

He's a free agent. 

 

And had TJ surgery that will wipe out most, if not all, of his 2014.

If JD is getting unproven guys I like it.  If we are getting known quantities, I have my doubts. 

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

True. I should've added that. He's a free agent that no one will want. 

[Scott34]

I'd crap the couch if we got Butler.  He's such a guy.

[Docwaukee]

BTW Chuck - you could have just created a massive AW shit storm.  We are going to speculate best possible scenarios all night and then when the actual trade happens, there will be a monster uproar. 

 

Did AW get a new advertiser?

[HaloCory22]

Just took a look at his numbers. Swoon.

[Mark68]

Trumbo for Butler/Story.
