Ya Gotta Believe!!!
Not for the Rockies, of course.
Was the nominating process enjoyable at least?
Livan is likely to be better than Josh Towers, Mark Redman, Valerio de los Santos, Victor Zambrano, or whoever of that list are still in the Rockies organization. Jose Capellan was traded to the Royals. Franklin Morales is still a hot prospect but has been terrible all year. Greg Reynolds already showed that he isn't ready for the majors. John Koronka, Jason Hirsh and Sean Smith might have reasons to complain, but they haven't been very good in AAA either.
They also have no starting pitchers doing well in double-A.
In summary, Colorado is the perfect place for Livan Hernandez and I hope he starts every fourth game for the rest of 2008.
I wonder if the teams actually go through the motions on this. Does the Twins' GM call up the Rockies' GM and say "Hey, I see you claimed Livan, what were you thinking about giving us for him?" when both GM's know that it's going to end up with the Twins letting him go for nothing?
I’d call. The least Bill Smith can do is send some flowers.
George Tirebiter: But it's really great ####, Mrs. Pressky...
If I'm O'Dowd I call up the Twins and tell them they should sent over a mid level prospect as a thank you.
Every now and then I can quote something off of BBTF to my wife. This is one of them.
The Rox have gone from the World Series to claiming Livan on waivers in less than a year. Ouch.
6.50 ERA, 81 2/3 IP, 11 HRs given up, 33 Ks/25 walks
THIS CANNOT BACKFIRE ON THE ROCKIES AT ALL
