Despite all the Jorge De La Rosa buzz, hearing #Rockies won't deal him without getting a young impact starter back, which is very unlikely

haha, yeah ok Colorado. Put down the pipe

Don't tell them to put down the pipe, they might come up with an offer that DD finds tempting.

Like some international slot money? Or "A New Car!"

Dan is probably looking for a reason to dump some slot money. He knows he can't keep up with high spending teams like the Rays.

Don't want.

Should have traded for McCarthy (or still should have the Yankees collapse).

McCarthy would not have had a slot at Norfolk.

Good. I want him in Baltimore.

I do not see McCarthy or De La Rosa being appreciably better than what we have now. At least with McCarthy you can make a case. Who is De La Rosa better than in our rotation?

Of the two though I far prefer McCarthy to De La Rosa hands down.

Which is why i think it makes no sense. Yeah we maybe interested in him as a bullpen guy but will want to pay him for that while the Rockies will want to get starter value for him.

He has been lights out vs lefties the last 4 years though so if you can get him colorado to take reliever value he would atleast make some sense.

If you can get him at reliever value sure....Its a walk year for him so maybe Colorado would take whatever for him if we eat some of the salary due the rest of the year ....basically something better than nothing kinda deal. Under that scenario he makes some sense as a reliever and insurance policy.

I don't necessarily think so either. But it appears the O's want a back-end starter. If that is the case, McCarthy was easily my number 1 choice of all the options.
