2011 MLB Free Agency: Colorado Rockies Talking… |
Read More: Brad Lidge (P – PHI), Philadelphia Phillies, Colorado Rockies Earlier in the offseason, there was speculation that the Colorado Rockies might pursue veteran relief pitcher Brad Lidge, especially after the Rockies traded Huston Street. And according to an update from Troy Renck, the team has begun talking with Lidge’s reps: The fact that Lidge grew up in Colorado and owns a home in the state may give the Rockies an edge in negotiations. Lidge pitched in just 19.3 innings for the Philadephia Phillies in 2011, striking out 23 and walking 13. In his 10-year major league career, Lidge has a 3.44 ERA, 223 saves and 789 strikeouts in 594 innings pitched. For more coverage of all things Denver sports, stay tuned to SB Nation Denver.

(AP) — The Chicago Cubs have acquired third baseman Ian Stewart and right-handed reliever Casey Weathers from the Colorado Rockies for outfielder Tyler Colvin and infielder D.J. LeMahieu. Stewart, who hit 25 homers in 2009 and 18 more in 2010 for the Rockies, slumped last season when he split time Colorado and Triple-A. In 48 games with the Rockies he batted .156. Weathers was 2-2 with a 5.32 ERA at Double-A Tulsa last season in 44 appearances. He missed the 2009 season after elbow ligament replacement surgery. Colvin hit 20 homers as a rookie in 2010 but struggled last season and was sent to Triple-A. LeMahieu made his major league debut with the Cubs last year and batted .250 in 37 games.

DALLAS (AP) — The Colorado Rockies have sent closer Huston Street and cash to the San Diego Padres. The Rockies get a player to be named and cash in the trade announced Wednesday at baseball’s winter meetings. The 28-year-old Street had 29 saves in 33 chances for Colorado in 2011. He was 1-4 with a 3.86 ERA in 62 games. The right-hander has 178 saves in seven seasons with Colorado and the Oakland Athletics. Street is the second closer to get traded this week. The Chicago White Sox sent Sergio Santos to Toronto on Tuesday. (Copyright ©2011 by The Associated Press. All Rights Reserved.) What do you guys think about this.

Colorado Rockies Interested In Martin Prado,… |
Read More: Dan Uggla (2B – ATL), Martin Prado (3B – ATL), Colorado Rockies, Atlanta Braves The Colorado Rockies don’t have an established second baseman or third baseman at the moment, so it shouldn’t be particularly surprising that the club is showing interest in the Atlanta Braves’ Martin Prado, according to Troy Renck of the Denver Post. Prado, 28, was the Braves’ primary second baseman in 2010, but he’s seen time at third base and in left field since the club added Dan Uggla to fill that position in 2011. Prado slipped to a disappointing .260/.302/.385 line this year with Atlanta, but he was an above-average hitter and one of the league’s best second baseman the year before. Presumably, the Rockies are interested in a potentially resurgent Prado that could provide a major upgrade at second base. The current Brave isn’t under contract yet for next season, but he’s arbitration-eligible, so his team can tender him a one-year contract for roughly $4.5 million based on his previous salaries and performance. He’s not the only second baseman that the Rockies have shown interest recently, so don’t expect the team to go into next year without adding some additional options at the position.
