Colorado needs a first baseman? You can have James Loney. Heck, in Colorado he may hit 15 hrs.

His home/away splits look terrible. The Rockies made a good move.
kiermaier
well he played in pitchers ballparks on the road since he played in the Nl West and had to face good pitching, However now that he is in the Al East he will play in more hitters ballparks and face easier pitching

sounds good, Only time will tell. The first thing I thought after reading the title of this article was “Why should there be a reaction? Dickerson was semi-good but he isn’t a star”. I still feel that way. I realize he has potential to be above average but he’s not there yet.

Weren’t those same things said about Holliday,Fowler and quite a few others though?
Niekro
No in the case of Holliday he was well above average on the road as well.

Ha, remember when Rollins stole MVP from Holliday? Voters were saying the reason was because the gap in Holliday’s home/road average. They didn’t care that Phillies play in probably the 2nd friendliest place to hit in the NL, and that Holliday hit better on the road than Rollins did on road OR home. As an A’s fan in hindsight, I don’t feel bad for Holliday.

The whole off season has been weird. Massive contracts for pitchers. Relievers getting big deals. Then solid all around guys taking small deals nobody would have guessed. Howie Kendrick 2/20? Then guys like O’Day at 33 is getting 4/31? I agree that it’s a weird trade but I think Rockies actually win here. Good relievers are getting pretty expensive and if you want a reliever with more team control take a look at what Astros gave up for Giles. Maybe market stops overreacting to good relievers but still the Rockies are selling a hitter who will have a really hard time matching numbers elsewhere. Rockies need all the good pitching they can get.

Rockies win? They have no Rotation at all. And giving up 4 years of control of anyone who is Dickerson talented for two years and a minor leaguer with not great numbers. It’s a stupid move. It’s why I think the Rockies do even worse this year.

Dickerson in left, Kiermaier in Center, Souza in right Guyer a bench bat, Jennings 4th OF
Loney,Pearce, Morrison 1B/DH all they really did was replace Jaso and DeJesus/Sizemore

Playing the best defensive center fielder at in the majors at first base seems like an unwise allocation of assets, does it not?
SoCalShu
I think they were more referring to him playing 1B until Cargo goes back on DL…haha
Valkyrie
He might have been referring to the reference to the Rays surplus of possible OF/1B/DH candidates which included Kiermaier, who actually is the best defensive CF in MLB.
Mendoza
going into 2015 I recall several MLB radio hosts praising Corey as a up and coming star… now I hear him being called by Jim Bowden a platoon bat at best?
can you explain the 12 month turn around in many people’s expectations of Dickerson
it’s puzzling?

I wonder if the Rays are trying to use the savings from McGee’s salary to sweeten a Loney deal. Loney + $4 million just might do it.
baronbeard
Nah, spent it on Pearce. I think they are trying to find a way to send him somewhere without having to send money. Maybe include him on a bigger deal.

Only way I’d take Loney is if I get Archer or Odorrizzi(I know I butchered his last name), and even then the prospect haul might be a tad less.
kiermaier
lol chris archer is not getting traded I dont know why people like you keep bringing his name up
sandiegorocker1104
I know that, I’m just illustrating that Loney isn’t getting moved either without being attatched to a high end player unless all the salary is eaten.
