In the NL West you’re a fool to give up unless you’re the Dbacks.

Well, you’re a fool if you trade just to trade because when you do that you’re asking to be burned. The Rockies have a very tough situation because the players they have committed to are underachieving. You don’t necessarily want to sell low because next year they might have a bounce back year. The key to it all is exactly what O’Dowd said, “long term and short term”. This team is not really in contention for 2010 anymore, but they can’t dump good players for prospects because 2011 is a realistic chance to be in contention again since their core is pretty good.
IMO the smartest option IF they sell is trade for prospects KNOWING that at the end of the season you’ll package those same guys for a BIG name. You don’t want to overpay for a 1 and 1/2 rental when this year is a waste anyway.
