0 chance we could nab Brendan Rodgers?

Yes. Yes you would.

Rox have been my NL team for years because of CarGo. Would love to see Abreu if he's dealt.

0 chance we could nab Brendan Rodgers?

 

I would think he's off the table. Maybe Hoffman? Tapia?

After Abreu's season, yeah.

 

Hoffman, Tapia, McMahon would be pretty great but I highly doubt it.

He would be so great in Colorado.

I would think he's off the table. Maybe Hoffman? Tapia?

 

David Dahl is an interesting name too.

After Abreu's season, yeah.

I agree that we can't get Rodgers, but Abreu had a fine season. Huge bounce back in the 2nd half.

I'd figure we would nab one of those guys at least for Abreu.

Great news that the sox have the *balls* to go out there and dangle their pieces. Promising rebuild.

After Abreu's season, yeah.

 

Hoffman, Tapia, McMahon would be pretty great but I highly doubt it.

 

That seems like a lot of surplus value for a guy hitting his expensive arb trips, and who can't really play 1B.

Sox love Hoffman. Not a fan of McMahon. Could see Sox liking Wall

Interesting to say the least. I like Abreu and presume the market has undervalued him as a whole. Will be interesting to see what we could get. I say that in the perspective that I think the stat junkies underrate the value of his bat (i.e., I find him an underrated player via WAR).

Yes, you would be obligated to change it to whoever he gets traded for.

I'd probably do a Hoffman, Wall, Murphy, and Almonte for Abreu and Gonzalez.

Yeah, Abreu had a fine season and I think he has worth, but not as much as 2014 Abreu or 2015 Abreu. Then you might get Rodgers.

GET BACK YENCY!

Fair enough. I do think WAR and Sabermetrics like it tend to underrate players of Abreu's mold- the .290-.300/25-35/100 type with below average defense.

Would loooove Hoffman.

GET BACK YENCY!

 

I know me and you are big fans of Yency. I was livid at that deal with Kahnle.

Knowing nothing else but looking at their prospect list, anyone know anything of substance on catcher Tom Murphy?

David dahl would be a great addition

No chance Rockies are trading Dahl. Too valuable and legit tools across the board. Murphy stock has risen this year. Plays solid defense and has improved his pitch framing. Strength is his hitting power. One of the better catching prospects. Will be Rockies starting catcher this year.

Sox love Hoffman.

 

They certainly do. Definitely can see them asking for him as a starting point.
