MLBTraderumors says the Rockies are prepared to trade Street to another team. Maybe we are going to trade for Atkins & Street. Wonder what we’ll have to give up for that? Cuddy and a starter? Hopefully Slowey and not Blackburn.

I think Blake is the best short-term option at third.I think Cutty can work into a four man outfield rotation and relieve Justin at first and get some bats at DH.Cutty been hurt for 2 years,let’s see if he can recapture the year he had in 06.Does anyone think that Hudson is worth giving up a #1 draft choice for,sliding Cassila over to short?Souhan thinks Tolbert is a good bet at short,Thoughts!

Thrylos,

Other numbers to conisder

Glaus 32
Mora 37
Blake 35.5
Ages these guys will be in spring training, even Glaus at 32 I think is getting old, his days as a 30HR guy are probably gone…but if we want to go down the road of signing guys on their last legs, fine, it’s worked out so well in the past, I promise not to say I told you so.

Beltre you can’t have for more than 09 because of Boras.

Hall has hit 20 HRs exactly once and over .270 exactly once (with OPS+ of 89 and 79 the last two years).

Kouzmanoff and Wigginton wouldn’t be bad, but if you want to talk about hitter friendly parks, lets start with Wiggington in Houston.

Well, it is clear Coors scoring is way down and is a much more fair ballpark. it will never be a pitchers park, but they have made significant strides. Ultimately what this means to me is Atkins Home/Away splits are less to do with the park then it is just him. Some hitters just hit better at home. Even those that don’t hit in Coors.

Thanks for pulling that data for me, not sure where you got it.
