Rosenthal and Fuentes Q&A
Ken Rosenthal sat down for a Q&A session with Rockies' closer Brian Fuentes in light of all the recent trade speculation. Some highlights:
On being mentioned in trade rumors:
...Now that I'm going into my sixth year and free agency, it seems like it's coming up more. You hear a lot of speculation, a lot of rumors. It's hard to tell what's true. I know there's a lot of posturing going on among the GMs.
On possibly receiving a warm reception if he does indeed get traded (ala C.C. Sabathia):
(chuckling) I don't know. We'll see what happens. They gave CC a standing ovation when he came out and played catch. It was pretty amazing.
On his approach to free agency:
I knew going into free agency that I wanted to have a really good year. I also knew I'd be setting up. My main objective was to close. I feel I can close in Colorado or anywhere else. But it's not my choice.
On talking about trade rumors with his teammates:
It's almost like a running joke. We all know there's nothing we can do about it. There's speculation they might want to move Matt, (Yorvit) Torrealba, Willy Taveras, myself. We joke about it. It's a relaxed atmosphere in the clubhouse.

Could Alan Horne and Chris Garcia get fuentes?

I feel like Horne, whose going to be 26 for next season, probably wouldn't be able to do it for the Rockies. I just think some other team will offer Colorado a better, younger pitcher than Horne, so the Yankees would likely need to offer another, superior prospect than Garcia.

Who do you guys think is better, Alan Horne, or Jeff Niemann. I think their about the same so it would depend who offered a better 2nd prospect.
