Nice. So the Angels can fit Blackmon under the Luxury Tax with nearly any trade. Get ‘er done!

Wondering where the sticking point is in a potential Angels/Rockies deal is. Rockies demanding Heaney?

And/or Skaggs
No Soup For Yu!
Definitely “and” and not “or”.

I wouldn’t give up Heaney straight up for Blackmon. Blackmon is actually terrible away from Coors.
I’d offer Skaggs and Shoemaker.
Compton
I wouldn’t give up Skaggs either.

OK, here we go for the 85th time …
Rockies hitters should never be evaluated based on their road numbers. Nearly all Colorado position players over the years have had large home-road splits, and the ones that have since moved on have done fine in their new parks, less well at home but better on road. This is because the transition from hitting in Denver to hitting on the road makes their road numbers worse than they should be, just as much if not more than Coors makes their home numbers better.

I’m not gonna give up Heaney for a maybe.
Cuddyer went from battling title to pinch hitter
Tulo OPS’d ..697
Drew Stubbs went from .233 to .289 back down to below average
Chris Nelson OPS’d .810 in 2012, then couldn’t get a job after he left COL
Tyler Colvin, Jordan Pacheco
Hundley OPS’d .610 2012-2014 then OPS’d .810 his first year in Colorado
Even Seth Smith’s numbers took a slight dip.
Over the last 5 years. the only player I see that replicated his Coors numbers after leaving COL is Fowler.

Cuddyer was hurt. Tulo was an extreme short sample. The rest of them stunk anyway and just had a fluke season with the Rockies (as can happen anywhere). You’re just cherry picking. I notice Matt Holliday isn’t on your list anywhere. Or Chris Iannetta, who beat his career average every year in LAA except last year. And Seth Smith beat his carer average (and had his 2nd best year ever) since leaving the Rockies. Hundley’s best year was as a Padre.

to ignore the obvious great advantage for an offensive player in denver is just as naive as the terrible disadvantage it gives pitchers. . tulo was hitting very well this year until he was traded to toronto.
