Think it'll actually happen?

I think the only way it would happen is if the Rockies are still under .500 by the deadline.

I'm pretty confident atm. There were some high ranking rockies scouts at the Trenton game recently and they apparently have not made a secret about their affinity with Jesus.

so you're saying we're gonna give them jesus for a guy with an era in the 4's?

afkslitting

Look at his numbers away from Coors. Plus he's been great for the last 2 months.



Yeah there was Yankee scouts at the last Ubaldo game too.

uballzo

if he can't pitch in coors what makes you think he'll be able to pitch at yankee stadium

Who said he can't pitch at Coors?

He hasn't pitched well there THIS year, but he hasn't exactly been himself all year until recently.

this..

I don't wanna give up jesus though

give them sanchez and betances instead -.-

more baseballs make it over the fence at Denver than at lower elevations such as New York City. Batters should thank Denver's low air pressure, compared with the pressures at lower-elevation ball parks. The lower the air's pressure, the fewer molecules of air in any cubic foot of air. As a baseball travels through the air, it collides with the molecules of nitrogen, oxygen and other gasses that make up the air. This creates friction, or "drag." The less drag, the farther a ball will travel for a particular amount of energy imparted to it by a bat. Denver's lower air pressure doesn't help all athletes. While the percentage of oxygen in the air is the same at high altitudes as at low, the total amount of air is less. This means that each breath pulls in less of the oxygen the body needs. A batter from a low-elevation city might be puffing a little more than he would be at home as he pulls up at second base after hitting a double. Lower air density doesn't help the pilots of the airplanes the ball players fly to and from Denver. It penalizes pilots in three ways: As air density decreases, the lifting force on an airplane's wings or helicopter's rotor decreases, the power produced by the engine decreases, and the thrust of a propeller, rotor or jet engine decreases.
