Lopez will never learn how to draw a walk or post a reasonable OBP, but getting out of last place and Safeco and into a pennant race at Coors Field might energize him and at least bring back some power.
Then the Mariners could shift Figgins back to 3B where he belongs and give Ackley a shot at 2B for September (though he could probably use some more AAA time).

Yes please. You can have him for free.

Overpayment by the Rockies.
Stephen R
Do it! Take him please!
AdenverGuy
SO we can have Nelson, Herrera, Barmes, Tulo, Stewart (retroactive DL?), EYJR, Mora!
Why do we need ANOTHER infielder?!?!?
Ben!
you will take him and give us back jimenez.. the force tells you to give in to the darkside…

I would be very pleased if the Rockies would take Lopez. Don’t really need anything in return. Taking him off the M’s hands will be good enough.
Ben!
BTW, Ackley isn’t ready.

With Chris Nelson waiting at AAA, this move would be absolutely stupid by the Rockies. At this point in their careers Nelson >>> Lopez.

seems like a typical senseless move by the rox.

Name another recent “senseless” move?

I have heavily criticized Lopez before.. but I think this might be an okay move by the Rox.Why not stockpile infielders who have power? The huge outfield in Denver is going to raise his AVG.. if he can find a way to get back to his ~.320 OBP seasons where he’s hitting 20+ HR with a little glove, he can help that team.Especially since Mora is older than dirt, Stewart is nicked up right now, and Helton is done.

Take Peralta, please!

Colorado, please just take him for free! Not having him hit clean up would be like a Christmas miracle…. in August.

Jay, Lopie for Tulo!!!

Lopez couldn’t be worse than Barmes.
BobbyJohn
Barmes is WAY better in the field. That’s not even close. Considering they’re basically a push with a bat then I’d rather hang on to Barmes at this point.
Henry Castellanos
What do the Rockies find so interesting in him? Surely it’s that they think that his power #’s might go up playing at Coors… Other than that I don’t really take interest in a guy with an OBP of .274.

Oh man… If there’s any truth to the Rockies having interest in a player who is hitting like an NL pitcher, as a Mariners fan…this makes me ecstatic!
I’d actually give them a prospect to take Lopez off our hands!
