Rockies Have Considered Trading For A Starter

By Ben Nicholson-Smith | September 21, 2010 at 1:25pm CDT

The Rockies have considered trading for a starting pitcher to help them reach the playoffs, according to ESPN.com's Buster Olney (Twitter link). No acquisition would be eligible to play in the postseason, so any starter the Rockies add will be cheering on the sidelines with Octavio Dotel if the team reaches the playoffs.

The third place Rockies trail the Giants by 1.5 games in the jam-packed NL West, so every win matters immensely. Since Jason Hammel is dealing with a dead arm, the Rockies could use some pitching to complement the offensive fireworks of Carlos Gonzalez and Troy Tulowitzki. Aaron Harang and Dave Bush are not fits for Colorado, according to Olney, who suggests Jake Westbrook could be a fit.

      As long as they were on your 40 man roster by September 1st, then yes.

    Jarrod Washburn could be a possibility, if he’s kept himself in game shape. They only need the pitcher for a couple weeks anyways..

      He’d need a couple of weeks to be major league ready, so no.

        Hence, if he’s kept himself in game shape.

          Even if he had, would you really trust him on the mound?

    Considering how well Gonzalez has been, how much is Billy Beane regretting the Holliday trade.

      If the A’s played their home games in Colorado I would assume there would be great regret. Being they play at the Collesium, we can assume he wouldn’t be doing what he is currently doing. They got a proven top 5 player in the game for a closer (who was about to command a lot of money in Arbitration), A pitcher that will never pitch in the bigs (Greg Smith) and a PROSPECT. I would bet any GM would make the deal if they felt their division was winnable like the West was that year.

          It was a reference to the show East Bound and Down. The main character is Kenny Powers. He is a has been pitcher, and that was his tag line. The comment was made for a laugh. What does prison have to do with anything anyways?
