Hammerin' Hank was paddin' the stat sheet by havin' the third most plate appearances of all time. He only led the league 4 times in 23 years.
Cap Anson (real man) led the league 8 times!
The reason I think he'd be a good fit for COL is because he's marketable, will launch HRs, steal bags, has been healthy and the more laid back environment would suit him better.
Roman wasn't healthy when he came back. It was malfeasance that the FO had him come back at all after saying they wouldn't let him swing if he still felt pain. They lied.
The initial moves are just thinning out the herd to add back all the IL guys. No matter what, they need to move 4 guys ASAP.
As for which Rule 5 guys might get added, maybe 2 of Wehunt, Garcia, Brannon, Mullins.
I think TalkSox is done with Duran, I don't think the front office is 100% done with him. He makes a lot of money and still has a fairly high ceiling (one he probably never reaches again). He'd be a hard guy to trade for many reasons.
I agree that there aren't many adds to worry about: Wehunt, Garcia, Brannon, Mullins are in consideration. I think one of the 1B/C gets traded. I think Wehunt is added. They probably pass on adding Mullins.
No chance do they add Romero. I don't see them adding Baez either as his defensive profile isn't THAT advanced.
