July 21, 200422 yr Interest in Wright, Oliver If they can work out details with the Kansas City Royals, the Rockies would like to bring back pitcher Jamey Wright and insert him into their No. 5 starting slot. Another former Rockies pitcher, Darren Oliver, is a possibility if the Rockies can swing a trade with the Florida Marlins. The common denominator of Wright and Oliver: experience in making half their starts at Coors Field. Wright, the Rockies' No. 1 draft pick in 1992, went 25-33 with a 5.57 ERA for Colorado from 1996-99. He is 8-6 with a 4.21 ERA in 18 starts this season for the Triple-A Omaha Royals. Oliver won 13 games for the Rockies last season, but he has been demoted to middle relief for the Marlins and hasn't pitched in three weeks. The Rockies need a fifth starter because Joe Kennedy and Denny Stark are on the disabled list, and they want to give minor-league sensation Jeff Francis a few altitude-training starts at Sky Sox Stadium in Colorado Springs. www.denverpost.com
July 21, 200422 yr Rockies= organization going around in circles trying to figure out Coors Field. They should use a 6 man rotaion instead of their experimental 4 man rotation.
July 21, 200422 yr Hey Calvin why in the hell would you waste a perfectly good bag of Peanuts , Just give them the shells.
July 21, 200422 yr and to think...they got to the playoffs before us..... that organization has no clue.
July 21, 200422 yr Hey Calvin why in the hell would you waste a perfectly good bag of Peanuts , Just give them the shells. 468198[/snapback] We may have to give them an incentive to take the deal. Oliver's not going to do it, but maybe they like peanuts (I would also be willing to donate a kuzoo to sweeten the pot, but let's try the peanuts first).
July 21, 200422 yr If the Marlins cannot find a home for DO don't be surprised to see him cut if we need the roster spot. The guy hasn't pitched in three weeks, he done as far as this team is concerned.
July 21, 200422 yr No sean bobo, buy his plane ticket already. And send Admin Walker over here while you are at it.
July 21, 200422 yr Didn't he give up like 8 Home runs in Denver earlier this season? WTF do they want him back for?? :blink:
July 21, 200422 yr Didn't he give up like 8 Home runs in Denver earlier this season? WTF do they want him back for?? :blink: 468256[/snapback] because they are going around in circles and will never do anything. they are the washington senators and st. louis browns of this generation. most people probably don't even know denver has a baseball team.
July 21, 200422 yr Anyone remember when the Rockies were actually good? :shifty 468307[/snapback] They weren't even good when they made the playoffs.
July 21, 200422 yr Anyone remember when the Rockies were actually good? :shifty 468307[/snapback] only in '95 and that's about it. they have like 1 or 2 winning seasons. THEY BOMB. they were a big draw the first 6 or 7 years. now the fans are finally waking up.
July 21, 200422 yr Maybe they have a beer man that they will trade us for DO, or maybe somebody like George Coztanza(sp) that needs to be traded.
July 21, 200422 yr Rockies get: Darren Oliver, Abraham Nunez, Justin Wayne, someone else??? Marlins get: Shawn Chacon
July 21, 200422 yr Author Rockies get: Darren Oliver, Abraham Nunez, Justin Wayne, someone else??? Marlins get: Shawn Chacon 468376[/snapback] :lol :lol :lol :lol
July 21, 200422 yr yes please....let us take Chacon and his seven blown saves......I wouldnt even deal Borland or Castro or him.
