Rockies Rumors: Fuentes, Fogg
UPDATE, 12-4-07 at 11:28am: More from Renck. He confirms the Red Sox' interest in Fuentes and adds the Astros to the mix. While the Rox like Burke, the teams don't really match up because that's not enough.
UPDATE, 12-4-07 at 12:01am: The Denver Post's Troy E. Renck has more.
- Brian Anderson - remember him? - is on the radar as a lefty swingman. The 35 year-old hasn't pitched in the bigs since '05.
- Renck ponders whether the Rox might revisit talks for Matt Morris, a sentiment echoed by Jenifer Langosch.
- Nothing seems to be imminent on the Fuentes-Lowrie rumor.
UPDATE, 12-3-07 at 9:21pm: A suitor for Fuentes has emerged. ESPN's Amy Nelson says the Red Sox are interested and the Rockies could seek Jed Lowrie. Lowrie would be a nice fit at second base.
FROM 12-3-07 at 8:28pm:
MLB.com's Thomas Harding checks in with some Rockies nuggets.
- The Rockies have no pressing need to trade Brian Fuentes, so they'll sit pretty with two closers unless an impressive and helpful offer comes along. Dan O'Dowd believes four or five clubs might have the goods and need to get Fuentes. We'll see.
- The Rox let Josh Fogg's agent know they'd like to explore bringing him back. No figures were exchanged.
- The team still hopes to bring LaTroy Hawkins back, but they'd have to go to two years to pull that off. They already chose not to exercise an effective $3.5MM option on him. It seems the Rockies may have underestimated the interest in Hawkins.

Fuentes is a quality pitcher. A team needing a closer, like the Brewers or the Astros, would do well in trading for him. If I were the Rockies though, I would drive a hard bargain.

The Braves have been stating that they plan to aquire a lefty releiver through trade. Here's the perfect oppertunity!

Amy Nelson...so hot...

I think Fuentes could be a good option for the Braves, if a player like Lillibridge would suffice as a 2B or CF option (they obviously have Tulowitzski entrenched at SS).
That is a pretty step price, however, for the Braves to shore up the left side of their bullpen – at least in my opinion – since Escobar is by no means a sure thing, and moreover Chipper has injury risks attached to him.
