Why just have Chapman in the 9th when you can have him in the 7th/8th and CoCo in the 9th?
Not losing faith in Coco anytime soon.
Coredero is playing well. I can't see trading him now as part of a salary dump...it's not like you could use his money to sign anyone else right now.
Now, if you could get something usefull in return, or maybe work a 3 way deal where you pick up salary from another team that fills a need, I'd consider it. But I just can't see moving Cordero for prospects right now. Not from a contending team.
Sto Pro Veritate
I'm kind of expecting this to happen. Cordero is pitching well. They could have a puff piece written about how Coco lost a bunch of weight, got in shape for his contract year and is having a great season so far. Some team in need, that can afford him, would probably bite.
But I make Ondrusek or Masset the closer, not Chapman. And hope Arredondo gets back in the next month or so.
Then we could possibly turn the savings into filling some other holes.
The real Coco.....
Coco's Save %
2010-83.3%
2011-83.3%
At least he is consistent....

Trade CoCo. Maybe we can get a bag of circus peanuts in return.
The guys has pitched GREAT all year, lay off him. Gezz I guess he is never allowed a bad outing.
I'd trade him to the White Sox just to unload payroll.
Then I'd make Ondrusek the closer.
Then I'd turn around and make a trade with the Mets for Reyes and possibly Beltran (to hit behind Votto).
