JMLinkinPark Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 Keep Stokes! 482043[/snapback] Though its possible, I dont think the Rockies need Stokes with Todd Helton covering 1B for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ24 Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 What we need is a catcher with a productive bat. That eliminates Mayne. 482047[/snapback] Lo duca ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want a rental. I don't want a guy that will hinder us from resigning our current players next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJ24 Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 thats why guillen fits better. im not sure on his contract i know its really cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flasportsfan88 Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 Well heres my thing on walker his groins finally healthy what he hasnt really been since 2002 even though he plays most of last year. By the way he batted .338 in 2002 and is batting .330 in his 31 games this season. Higher ceiling than guillen i think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlins2003 Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 One thing that may play a part in trading with Colorado is the $2 million they owe us this year and $2.5 million they owe us next season as part of the Hampton/Pierre/Wilson/CJ/throw-ins megatrade. On one hand you can say we need that money to help defray the payments to Atlanta for Hampton and you'd be 100% right but depending on what kind of creative accounting might be employed IF ( a big IF) a deal goes down don't be surprised if that $$$ plays a part in the trade. --------- One other thought regarding Colorado. Some of you might remember that after the Fish won the World Series the Rockies' owner had some very unpleasant comments to make about our franchise and I keep thinking ultimately that may play a part in negotiations.
