Rockies LHP Jorge De La Rosa Just say no!!!!

[Tx Oriole]

I don't get it.

I don't either. Why a starter?

[Can_of_corn]

Why a starter that isn't a upgrade?

This smacks of making a move just to say you made a move.

[weams]

Yeah. Want a lefty specialist? Get Andrew Miller. Want a SP upgrade? Look at Ian Kennedy.

Andrew Miller is available?

[weams]

How does this make any sense at all?

We already have one ubaldo......we don't need a second one.

I am not for this move. But I'll leave that up to those who are smarter about this than me.

The only way this makes sense is if they move Gonzo and go with a six man rotation.

Then you would have 4 RHP 2 LHP.

Even then I don't like it.

[Jonesy10]

Andrew Miller is available?

There has been speculation the past week or so. Rosenthal tweeted something about it yesterday too IIRC.

[FlipCup]

I agree. We need to go for an Ace, not someone else to add more depth towards the end of the rotation, something we already have...

And apparently we are giving up Hunter Harvey or Jon Schoop for him? lol

From the article:

Baltimore also traded for a veteran arm at last season's trade deadline in Houston's Bud Norris. In that deal, the Orioles gave up outfielder L.J. Hoes, minor league pitcher Josh Hader and a competitive balance pick. The Rockies could expect a similar return for De La Rosa, with a deal perhaps centered around 2013 first-round pick Hunter Harvey or second baseman Jonathan Schoop.

[MDK02]

Why would we ever give up either of those players for De La Rosa.. I really hope this is just a rumor, nothing more.

[Can_of_corn]

The O's are obviously looking at his 2013 numbers in which he pitched to a 3.49. Man if there was some way this could be a AAA depth move, it'd make a ton of sense. As it stands, though, you already can't replace anyone in the rotation for Gausman. How the hell can you replace anyone with this guy?

As a depth move it would only make sense if the O's were taking him as a salary dump and only giving a fringe prospect in return.

Tim Berry probably

[weams]

Clearly, we're struggling to make much sense of it at all. Fingers crossed that ol' Danny boy hasn't been hitting the sauce too hard.

That never happens. Dan is a risk taker. But he is still the smartest man in most rooms.

[Can_of_corn]

Tim Berry probably

Sure, or maybe Wright.

[Can_of_corn]

Is it even possible for him to be put in AAA? He's got a ton of service time, not sure about options. Plus the salary.

Oh it won't happen. We are just speculating.

I think the Rockies value him too much to dump him.
