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

[SoWhat]

You can cross Chatwood and De La Rosa off the list. DLR is set to be a FA after the 2014 season, and Dipoto isn't going to give up Trumbo to re-acquire Chatwood. I think it has to be minor league arms like Bettis or Butler

Dude, that change up

Damn.  They said it could be MLB average.  Uh..it looks better than that.

Watch it be Kendrick for Nicasio

Watch it be Kendrick for Nicasio

I don't want to. 

[ettin]

Trumbo for Butler alone would make me happy. If we actually got additional players/prospects on top of that I'd be ecstatic! Or alternatively they could be targeting Kendrick for 2nd.

[nikkachez]

I'm gonna guess Trumbo and possibly Iannetta for Butler and a couple unknown players

[Jammer36]

Well now I cant sleep...

Kendrick leaving, opens the door for Cano.

 

Offseason champs third year in a row!

[full circle]

That guy looks a little too good to be something dipoto could or would acquire.

If you haven't checked out the FanGraphs article I linked to in a previous post it has several Butler pitch videos.

they've got rutledge but really no one for 1b.

 

this is fun!!

Great link ettin, thanks for posting. All three of Butlers pitches are downright nasty. He would be a serious get for sure.

[HaloCory22]

Part of me just doesn't believe the Rockies would deal any of their young arms. They're in the same boat we are. They need pitching.

[mancini79]

Sosh for Dinger the Dinosaur.

Pass. At least Scioscia wears pants.

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

Freese for Arenado.

now I'm gonna be pissed if we don't get him. 

[fan_since79]

Belisle's a workhorse among relievers, and has averaged 75 appearances the last four years. He's 33 too, which is the perfect age for an Angels acquisition.

[Scott34]

The Rockies really wanted to draft Cron in 2011...

[ten ocho recon scout]

I can't think of anyone we would want from them (or to be fair what they would want from us). They're offense is pretty set, and we don't have/aren't trading pitching.

if this is true, I'm betting its not as big news as we're all speculating. Whats their bullpen look like?

They need a 1B desperately...

that probably makes more sense than anything else. What do they have that would match up with us trade wise for him (fair value for both teams)?

Well they do have other interesting pitchers such as Bettis, Gray, et al. Scott and Ocho also bring up an excellent point about Cron and considering the fact that Chuck sincerely believes Trumbo is staying, perhaps this is a Kendrick/Cron based trade?

 

Or maybe it is Trumbo and Cron is staying..... or maybe none of that!

[OregonLAA]

Chuck said PLAYER from the Angels. And he didn't bring up Bettis when said what Rockies he liked.
