Rockies Notes: Uggla, Wigginton, Iannetta

By Luke Adams 2 | June 21, 2010 at 5:22pm CDT

Following Troy Tulowitzki's wrist injury, the Rockies are considering their next move, hoping to stay in contention in a competitive NL West. Troy Renck of the Denver Post has a few tidbits on their potential plans, in a series of tweets:

  • After Tulowitzki got hurt, we heard that the Rockies might pursue infield depth. Renck writes that the club is "monitoring" the infield market, specifically naming Dan Uggla and Ty Wigginton as two players they'll watch. FOX Sports' Tracy Ringolsby also mentioned Wigginton as a possibility for Colorado earlier today.
  • The Red Sox and Rangers could have interest in Chris Iannetta, with the Rangers focusing on him for this season and the Sox looking ahead to next year. Boston's current catcher, Victor Martinez, faces free agency at season's end, while Iannetta's contract runs through 2012.
  • Prior to the trading deadline, the Rockies may also make minor deals involving players like Omar Quintanilla and Jay Payton. The Astros have been interested in Quintanilla before.

    Anyway the Rockies have interest in THE RIOT.
    Ubaldo Jimenez for Theriot should do good

      Rockies have Jimenez signed to an affordable contract with team options through I believe 2014. For at least the next three years I think they’ll hang up first when his name is even mentioned.

        Ya I know man, I’m just messing around, I honestly wouldn’t want to give up all that for him anyway, the kids pitching so many innings and he throws so hard, his arm is bound to burst after the allstar break

    I’m sorry, did this article imply that Jay Payton is still playing baseball?

    And correct me if I’m wrong, but did the article also imply that the Rockies are considering trading him, which would mathematically imply that there would be a team outside of Swahililand that would be showing interest?

      Wow, I just checked and it IS that Jay Payton! He’s hitting well in the minors, no real power but high average and knocking in runs.

    What prospects would Uggla cost? Would a trade centering around Rodgers work?

      I can’t see Uggla back next year with the Fish, they just ain’t going to pay him whatever an arbitrator will award him after he already made almost 8M this season. Flip side, is whoever gets him will only have him for 2 seasons and they will be expensive for a 2nd baseman that has good power and not the best defensive minded that should be playing 3B, but does not want to play that position.

      Fish missed the boat not moving him this last off season, but he will more than likely go before the 7/31 trade deadline if the Fish continue to struggle got a feeling, just not going to get back what they would have before.

      Look for Cantu and maybe even Ricky Nolasco to be moved also. Can’t see Cody Ross going, think they might try to get him signed LT.

    My guess is Uggla will cost the Rockies something like Christian Friederich and Nolan Arenado.

      Personally, I think that is too much. Arguably Colorado’s best prospect plus the only real good corner infield prospect. No thanks. I would do Rodgers and McKenry.

        I am sure you would but Marlins wouldn’t. Esmil Rogers has a good arm but he isn’t exactly that young and that good of a prospect right now. Not to mention he is still very raw. Personally I think Wigginton makes more sense for the Col

          We dont really know what the Marlins are looking at or not. I agree, Cuban24, Rogers isnt that young when we talk about prospect age, hes young compared to the everyday player but like you said he is still very raw and still needs work out in triple-A. I feel more realistic trade for Rogers and McKenry would be Wigginton, he is no Uggla but he would add pop and a better avg at 2nd base, which is where he would play. This is a far better option only because if Wigginton comes to Col we have a better chance of locking him down for a couple yrs for a far cheaper price than what Uggla will get paid. But if the price is right for Uggla i think a 2 yr “rental” would fit us well, then EYJ might be MLB ready, i still feel like we have kind of rushed his development.
