Rockies Interested In Arroyo

This question goes out to Rockies fans. Obviously Arroyo is not enough, but what else would the Reds have to throw in to get Matt Holliday back? He would answer one of the possible corner outfield voids in a big way in Cincinnati.

But you forget, not saying he would wind up in Cincy, but he would be playing in GABP, which is well know for being an offensive paradise.

Why would the Reds want someone with a 4.76 ERA at AA at a .287 AVG against and only having 64 K's in 124.2 innings

Well who exactly do you think that Bronson Arroyo is going to land you? He's got a fat contract and doesn't produce enough to deserve it. He's not going to land you a bunch of quality prospects, and Hynick actually is a pretty good prospect. I mean its not like you're gonna sneak away with Fowler, Nelson or Weathers or something, so I'd be pretty content with Hynick to get out of Bronson's contract.

Can I just throw this out there:

9-7, 5.60 ERA, 1.55 WHIP, 298 BAA, 104/42 K/BB in 119 innings.

Those numbers, his numbers, aren't worth $11M/yr. That's why all you get is Hynick.

"Holliday (minors) - .276/.353/.428
Murton (minors) - .310/.386/.455"

You really can't compare minor league numbers because Murton has been playing in them through this year. When you're still getting at bats in AAA when you're 25,26,27 and too good for the league, well then yeah you're gonna have good minor league numbers.
