Rockies Rumors: Fuentes, Embree, Taveras

I do not think I would ever give up my first round pick for a reliever, even a closer. You lose the pick and have to shell out a lot of money. That is a steep price for someone who gives you maybe 40 important innings a year.

The White Sox need Taveras without dye, give up Mccouluch.

I like Ryan Spilborghs as a fantasy sleeper, if you can call a Colorado outfielder a sleeper, but how good is his defense in center? And what about Carlos Gonzalez? Does the Holliday trade allow them to move Atkins/Stewart to left field? They really should move Taveras for whatever...

Assuming that the Mets lose Perez, they're likely going to get an (protected) draft pick back anyways, plus an (protected) supplemental pick, so it shouldn't hurt as much as one would think.

Plus, who says that the Mets won't sign multiple Type A Free Agents anyways?

And as the kid said, you can't ignore team needs because you might lose a draft pick.

I do think it's kinda telling that Fuentes is coming in for a visit and K-Rod is not scheduled to (At least not yet) though.

Um, Cory Sullivan is a minor league free agent.
