Rockies Make Offer To Veteran Starting Pitcher

By Tim Dierkes | January 16, 2012 at 2:27pm CDT

The Rockies have made an offer to a veteran starting pitcher, GM Dan O'Dowd told Troy E. Renck of the Denver Post.  O'Dowd didn't provide any further detail, other than saying it wasn't Kevin Millwood.

The Rockies' rotation picture seems about ten-deep after today's acquisition of Guillermo Moscoso and Josh Outman for Seth Smith, and it appears O'Dowd seeks a veteran presence beyond that of Jorge De La Rosa.  Renck speculates on Rodrigo Lopez and Jeff Francis as possibilities.

    It can only be Roy Oswalt. Very good fit for them.

    At this point, Oswalt could fit into just about anyone’s rotation (barring the Giants, Braves, Rays, and maybe the Phillies and Yankees).

      That’s very true. But he is the best fit for all of the teams, and the Rockies have had interest in them. Who else is out there even worth a contract besides Edwin Jackson? Not very many good FA pitchers right now.

    I like predictions! I’m going with Jeff Francis although I hope its Oswalt and I REALLY hope its Pedro Martinez (cause that would be awesome)

      Obviously it isn’t.  Colon signed a deal with the A’s.

    I think the Rockies should trade Tulo for 16 mediocre pitchers since apparently thats all they are interested in.

      It’s not like big FA pitchers are even interested in calling Coors their home, and if so O’Dowd would have to overpay heavily. So why not trade pieces that are expendable/replaceable with starting pitchers to create competition and get the best out of the young and talented guys.

        Competition between 6 AAAA guys still nets you a AAAA guy. You can have an open competition between 600 AAAA guys and its still AAAA guy that will win. I’d rather have 1 proven good starter than a heaping pile of mediocre.

          And O’Dowd is going to have overpay for one proven pitcher, which we know he isn’t willing to do.

    I like that they immediately said it wasn’t Millwood. Seriously, Millwood is at least 4 years from relevancy.

    What’s with these suspense-filled stories?  Rockies made an offer to a veteran pitcher.  Bartolo Colon has signed with a team.  Mariners trade for a young impact bat…

    …find out who, later on today.  At some point.

    Most of the names mentioned make me want to throw up, but Garland might be an OK fit… IF he’s healthy again.  Other than that, only an Oswalt or Jackson signing would rock the boat, and there is no way it’s Jax.

    Signing someone good like Oswalt would depart from their policy of paying big money for producting you can get for pennies (Cuddyer).
