His previous years were no great shakes, and he too couldn't hit a lick away from Coors. Then comes 2012 and he hits everywhere and everyone. Who knows. What makes him attractive is he's very versatile, a switch hitter who hits both lefties and righties, (lefties a bit better) and a true leadoff hitter with speed to burn.<br /><br />You are right about Colorado not needing much of anything. But their bull pen is pretty shallow. So I'd offer them one of Familia or Mejia, straight up. If they won't bite, I'd add one of Tapia, Gorski, Germen, Fraser, Walters, Kolarek, or a position player like Aderlin, Lagares, or Tovar. If they still refuse, I'd move on.<br /><br />I think it is too early to consider giving up Verrett, Pill, Camarena, or Leathersich. Any one of them could develop into an elite pitcher, if not as a starter, then in the pen. (Leathersich is already in the pen, but he could be a closer of the future.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-41141859655922629762012-12-26T13:07:05.438-05:002012-12-26T13:07:05.438-05:00The problem right nos is the only pitcher that is ...The problem right nos is the only pitcher that is MLB ready and not coming off an injury is Niese.<br /><br />I've got to keep Harvey, Wheeler, and Niese..<br /><br />I don't know how I could help Colorado in 2013 for Young. I can help them in the future if they are willing to take a chance on two prospect pitchers (pick two: Mejia, Familia, Gorski, Verrett, Pill, Camarena, Tapia, Germen, Fraser, Leathersich, Walters, Kolarek), but that's all I could deal.<br /><br />I'm keeping Montero, Fulmer, Mateo, and Synder... 2 of these guys will pan out...

In response to your reply to be in the Cubs post, yes, we are looking for outfielders who can be of help in 2013, but I am trying to focus on those who can also provide a long term solution and fit into sandy's Grand Plan.<br /><br />Re: Colorado, I disagree with Fowler. He can't hit a lick at sea level. Check out his splits away from the rarified atmosphere of Coor's field. His career slash line is .248/.331/.367/.698. Even last year, which was a career year for him, he wasn't good. I want Eric Young Jr.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
