June 24, 200421 yr Many of you may kill me for this, but I would love to have someone like Shawn Estes on this team right now He is 8-3 this year despite playing in Colorado and would be a perfect 5th starter this year for us If we get a stud, then we put Scho in the BP That way we get Stud, Buerhle, Elo, Garland, Estes as the 5 starters for the remainder of the year And we send Cotts down and let Scho be the other left hander next to Marte for the BP Marte, Shingo and Scho would make this a 3 deep BP
June 24, 200421 yr how much do u think we could get estes for? is it possible that a deal with him could even be worked out?

June 24, 200421 yr Author Estes is only paid $600K this year....really cheap Give the Rockies some draft pick or some A prospect
June 24, 200421 yr Author :headshake :puke :puke :puke So you prefer rauch, diaz, wright, cotts to estes? If we do get more good pitching we can always send him down....his salary is really low, why not take a chance while we continue to bleed thanks to no 5th starter Not like we have to give up anything to get him
June 24, 200421 yr Estes is only paid $600K this year....really cheap Give the Rockies some draft pick or some A prospect HOW MANY TIMES HAS IT BEEN SAID EXPLAINED AND RESAID THAT YOU CAN'T TRADE DRAFT PICKS IN BASEBALL :banghead
June 24, 200421 yr if he is 8 - 3 with the rockies, then i dont see why people wouldnt REALLY f***IN WANT HIM ON THIS TEAM RIGHT NOW
June 24, 200421 yr So you prefer rauch, diaz, wright, cotts to estes?

AIM HIGHER, I'M SICK OF SETTLLING FOR CRAP
June 24, 200421 yr Author HOW MANY TIMES HAS IT BEEN SAID EXPLAINED AND RESAID THAT YOU CAN'T TRADE DRAFT PICKS IN BASEBALL :banghead Then give them some scrub prospect....big deal...the Rockies will be ready to unload anyone and everyone soon
June 24, 200421 yr ESTES SUCKS. AIM HIGHER, I'M SICK OF SETTLLING FOR CRAP how does someone that is 8 - 3 crap?
June 24, 200421 yr and honestly, id rather have shoe outta the pen then cotts... id rather cotts be pitching in AAA building up to be a starter, because honestly, he isnt even doin that great from the pen ever since we tried starting him
June 24, 200421 yr Author ESTES SUCKS. AIM HIGHER, I'M SICK OF SETTLLING FOR CRAP Yes aim higher....of course, but until Seattle is ready to deal Garcia, what is wrong in getting a 5th starter to stop losing these games See what happens tomorrow when Rauch gets rocked again....if Kenny had gotten Estes in the off season, I bet we would be at least 3games above Minny right now
June 24, 200421 yr how does someone that is 8 - 3 crap? Records mean s*** His ERA AND WHIP SUCKS. I'LL PASS
June 24, 200421 yr Make your pick: Pitcher A 8-3 5.30 ERA 1.57 WHIP Pitcher B 4-6 3.24 ERA 1.23 WHIP Pitcher C 7-4 4.80 ERA 1.56 WHIP
June 24, 200421 yr Make your pick: Pitcher A 8-3 5.30 ERA 1.57 WHIP Pitcher B 4-6 3.24 ERA 1.23 WHIP Pitcher C 7-4 4.80 ERA 1.56 WHIP My choice would be not a or c.
June 24, 200421 yr My point, you can't judge by a pitchers record Exactly if they keep you in the game that is all that matters.
June 24, 200421 yr Exactly if they keep you in the game that is all that matters. Another small Example 1992 Jack Morris 21-6 4.04 ERA 5.5 Run Support Jim Abbott 7-15 2.72 ERA 2.2 Run Support Who was the Better Pitcher?
June 24, 200421 yr Another small Example 1992 Jack Morris 21-6 4.04 ERA 5.5 Run Support Jim Abbott 7-15 2.72 ERA 2.2 Run Support Who was the Better Pitcher? Morris was good but not nearly as good as abbott.
June 24, 200421 yr So you prefer rauch, diaz, wright, cotts to estes? YES Estes is awful. He can stay in Colorado for all I care. Million dollar arm. 1 dollar brain.
