I think they will keep Chapman as the closer. Too dominant there and too many uncertanties if you try to make him a starter. I believe Walt adds a top 3 starter over the offseason. I believe there's a good chance it's Garza if he's healthy.Originally Posted by HokieRed

If you don't care, then why entere a thread entitled "offseason priorities". It should have been obvious what it was about, if its not your cup of tee, finding or starting another thread to spread your thoughts would have been more productive than tearing down people who are looking forward.
Rockies are beyond desperate for starting pitching. Maybe a deal that includes Mike Leake wouldn't get hung up on immediately.
And I have a feeling the lines of communication for the Reds and Rays are open. I wouldn't be surprised at all if a deal is made that we'll hear was first discussed last offseason or during July.

Because I was pissed off during the late innings of the Reds game while this thread had started to become active.
I stopped shortly thereafter, but thanks for dredging this up after it was already a sunk issue.
I am sorry to have failed you!
Teach Mike Leake to play CF & Teach Drew Stubbs to throw a changeup.
And Mike Leake would solve the Rockies acute pitching problems? HAHA! Leake in Coors would be a very, very, very bad problem.

I'm not a man of many words. Read my posts, and you'll see what I mean.
Some people are Optimists (They see the glass 1/2 full).
Others are Pessimists (They see the glass 1/2 empty).
Me, I'm a Realist. 1/2 empty IS 1/2 full.
The Rockies pitching staff is likely going to be a very, very, very bad problem in Coors Field forever no matter who they have taking the bump.
Get a shot is not the same as mark that position filled. We don't know a middle infielder like Billy can play CF; we're hoping he can.
Look at their hapless rotation. Mike Leake wouldn't be a No. 5 there. Also, there's precedent for Reds starter castoffs to go to the NL West and pitch better.
Plus, he might hit about .330 in Coors with six or seven bombs.
You mean Jon Nunnelly wasn't the answer?

If we get Murphy can we get the "white shirt guy" too?

For those that want to settle for a stopgap type in CF, what about making an offer to Nate McClouth?
Completely agree with this and I expect it too happen. I believe we were close on a deal at the deadline and it just didn't happen.

No, no, for the love of baseball no!
...the 2-2 to Woodsen and here it comes...and it is swung on and missed! And Tom Browning has pitched a perfect game! Twenty-seven outs in a row, and he is being mobbed by his teammates, just to the thirdbase side of the mound.
What about revisiting Shin Soo Choo?
What would the Tribe want?
