Rockies Looking at Millwood

lamron — Tue, 06 May 2008 12:30:47 -0000

Just FYI - Some nice options there in Colorado and they will be eager to get a good pitcher for the right price later in the year. May be something worth watching in the future.

"The Rockies also have kicked the tires on Oakland's Rich Harden and Joe Blanton and Texas' Kevin Millwood. Harden is hurt, limiting interest; Blanton is currently not available. And while the Rangers will listen on Millwood, they want the right players in return, not salary relief.'

Rangers items of note so far:

Chris (Waco, TX): Is there an ace in theRangers system and if so when will we see him?

SportsNation Keith Law: (2:20 PM ET ) I really like Michael Main, one of their first-round picks this year, but he's probably 3-4 years out. Eric Hurley's not an ace but he's very good and he's a year or so away.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jon Daniels (Arlington, TX): How would you rate the job I have done so far? One really bad trade but otherwise not too bad. From the bottom to the top half of farm systems.

SportsNation Keith Law: (2:34 PM ET ) I think you've done a very good job, much better than some of your local writers want to admit. You've got a legit case to say your system is #2 overall behind the Devil Rays'.

ESPN Keith Law Chat Update

Only Ranger Question so far:
-----------------------------------------
Tom (League City, TX): Who is the most likely suitor for Teixiera? What kind of return can we expect?

Keith Law: (2:46 PM ET ) I'm not sure he gets traded this year. He's got over a year left, and unless the Rangers decide to dismantle the team, it might make more sense to hang on to him - entertain offers, of course, but don't deal him unless you're bowled over - into 2008.

2 Ranger related items:

Jason (Wichita): How about the top 3 picks from the Rangers Beavan, Main, and Borbon?

Keith Law: (2:58 PM ET ) I rated their day-one draft as the best. Main really seems to be underrated - great stuff, great athlete, good track record, appears to have slipped because his last outing wasn't good. Borbon was a good value play there; a lot of teams saw him as a first-rounder, and as a college bat he should put up good #s in A-ball. A CF who performs in high-A or AA has trade value.

---------------------------------

Jonathan (Mansfield, Tx): Did the Rangers pass on Porcello b/c of signability issues/Boras? Or did they just like Beavan and Main better?

Keith Law: (3:23 PM ET ) I'm assuming it was signability, but they didn't exactly go cheap.
