No obvious need for the Mets? Cmon, have you been watching Met games lately? Alou is slow to first, slow to reach balls hit to him and had to take himself out of the game against Atlanta cause he had a cramp on top of a sore ankle? When did he hurt his ankle? Getting out of the shower while he was on the DL. It certainly hasnt been on the field. Every team has a place for a player like Holliday. You create that space by getting rid of some of the players that playing up to epxectations or the contracts they signed: Delgado, Alou, Chavez, Anderson, Pelfrey, Perez.

jjdowney I could careless about the Donkeys (aka Broncos). I grew up a Baltimore/Indianapolis Colts fan. I will agree with you on the ptiching part of the Rockies. Cook and Francis are the only good pitchers they have. Outside of Fuentes and Herges, the bullpen is crap. I will atmit that. I wil always stand by my teams. The best thing the Rockies could do is have a new owner. Monforts brothers dont give care about this team. Its a money maker for them.

Trade Matt Holliday? I think the Rockies will regret it...especially if he goes to San Francisco or Oakland.

Alright chizman69 I'll believe you about the Haren/Harden thing (altough you did write Haren twice in your post)<br />A lot of DBacks fans may be fairweather fans, but thats ok because the weather is going to be very fair for a long time down here. I've been a DBacks fan since 98 (before if you count my little league diamondback team in 97, hehe). As for fans, at least we dont have to get all caught up in football like you do, we have the whole fall open for baseball, haha. Colorado almost always needs football to start because the rox are already in the basement in august.<br />Last year was a fluke, unless they can win 25 straight games at the end of every season, nothing will happen in colorado anytime soon. Rox need to focus on pitching. Anyone can have power @ Coors, but pitching is the only way they are going to have a chance.<br /><br />(btw, I'm sure it was another misspell, but you said Harden would be a good addiction. hehe)

Reds should look into this. Trade Dunn, Bailey and Fogg for Holliday. Sign Holliday to a long term contract with the money that we don?t pay Jr and Dunn for next year. Holliday is a lifetime .319 hitter. Dunn gives Colorado a big HR guy in that park and a #1 pitching prospect in Bailey. Plus, they have already asked about Fogg! Win Win! Holliday is a good contact, high RBI hitter we need to drive in the runs that Dunn and Jr can?t. Holliday in left and Bruce in Right by the All-Star Break!

Sure, pitchers know better this year how to pitch to him, but im sure at least some of his time spent on the DL is gonna translate to him with batting coaches how to defend how he's pitched to, not just to recover I will share it with my hotties I knew on the HOT Black and white community called ***### @@@ B L A C K W H I T E k i s s . C 0 M where you can meet lots of <br /><br />beautiful girls, both black and white

jjdowney I misspelled his name I meant Harden, but, but you DBacks fans know it all. You can even sell out a NLCS game. DBacks have bandwagon fans. I've been a Rockies fan since voting for Coors Field in 1990. Harden would be a good addictions to the Rockies.

Here's a very simple answer to what is wrong with the Rockies. It's the same thing as what hat has been ailing them for some time. Clint Hurdle and Bob Apodaca are horrible. They have always been bad and always will. The Rockies went to the seriesin spite of hurdle and Apodaca. If you watched closley last year, Hurd

Yo, eastcoastsucks, what do you mean by "tarded juden?" I hope it doesn't mean what it sounds like; if it does, it makes you a tarded bigot...

Boston, Boston, Boston.

If the Cardinals or Indians acquire Holiday either team will easily dominate their division. Especially the Cards. If you bat Pujols third and Holiday fourth, then Pujols will receive a lot less walks and the offense would pour on runs.

BTW, why is everyone so suprised that the rox are losing? This team has never been a winning club for more than small one season flare ups. the only reason they even made the playoffs last year is an amazing streak at the end. I do admit that was incredible, but it was luck. They were not even in contention for the whole year. The best teams are consistently winning through the entire season. Now, without Tulo, (who is a bit overrated because Colorado needs someone to lean on since helton is almost done) the rox have no shot of even staying in the race this year. They have had the one decent half of a season throughout this last decade and everyone expects them to be 'real contenders' now. Its in Holliday's best interest to get outta there.

Quote chizman69 "Rosenthal is a BLEEP if he thinks the Rockies will trade Holliday. Outside, of Helton, Holliday is fan favorite , here in Denver. I dont think its offense, per say. I think its pitching. Haren from Oakland would be a good trade for the Rockies. I think oakland woul take Morales and Brad Hawpe for Haren. That way Ian Stewart could play Right field and share it with Ryan Spilborghs."<br /><br />Are you kidding?!! Have you been under a rock in a cave for all of 2008? Haren was traded to the DBacks already this year. Please don't even try to sound like you know what you are talking about by suggesting trades if you dont even know if the guy is on the team anymore. <br /><br />Wow, you should delete this account and sign up for a new one so no one knows how dumb you are when you post in the future.

Stories like this can really make me nervous. You don't think the rocks would trade Holliday??? Ownership and some of the management has never really understood talent in players ie. Mike Hampton, Denny Neagle. They brought in that kind of garbage, I could see them letting go of good players. Not to mention they haven't really found a decent financial plan or anyone to devise one

why are people so nervous, duh dont u get it dats da purpose of a season to get back on track and win atleast on a consistent basis

Maybe they should trade Ken Rosiepalms' hero A-Roid to get some quality pitching for the Wankees?

There's no way this is happening, the Rox started slow last year too, and you don't just trade your franchise player. (Sorry Todd) Even though they probably won't contend this year, the Rox will be buyers for starting pitching and will be ready for next year. This guy obviously doesn't know Colorado baseball. I agree with those of you that think Taveras needs a new home, Spilborghs dominates and plays the game the right way and Willy could help bring back an arm in trade, since he won't be back next year anyways. Package him with Atkins and Fuentes for a starter, call up Ian Stewart so he can cut his teeth and next year you're right back where you were offensively with deeper starting pitching and a chance to win again.

Im not talking Diaz, he would be a good bat off the bench against a lefty. The Braves have outfield depth in the minors. You figure they will lock up Frenchy, though I think he's garbage, so right field is covered. There is Blanco, Schafer for centerfield, and then the guy we just drafted Heyward for leftfield. Thats not including B.Jones we had called up last year. So the Braves give B.Jones, Blanco, although I love the kid, Pena the catcher and a pitcher or two and we got a deal!!

SF Giants need a bat.... bad. They should take him if he becomes avaivable

Rosenthal is a moron if he thinks the Rockies will trade Holliday. Outside, of Helton, Holliday is fan favorite , here in Denver. I dont think its offense, per say. I think its pitching. Haren from Oakland would be a good trade for the Rockies. I think oakland woul take Morales and Brad Hawpe for Haren. That way Ian Stewart could play Right field and share it with Ryan Spilborghs.
