Tampa 3B Longoria is a stud. Everytime I see him I think back to when he was drafted and the Colorado Rockies had a shot at him, but they passed and took some pitcher # 1, and he never panned out. When questioned about it a few years later, Rockie's GM Dan O'Dowd admitted his mistake and explained that he passed on Longoria so that he would not hurt the feelings of Ian Stewart, who was then a highly regarded prospect. Don't know how he (O'Dowd) kept his job. Tampa, of course, took Longoria on the very next pick.
His numbers in Colorado would be huge.
