brian fuentes Stories - Over the Monster
Don't sign Brian Fuentes.
via assets.espn.go.com So in the wake of not signing Teixeira, (btw: interesting take on the Yankees and money on BTF) many overreacted and apparently decided we should spend some or all of the money earmarked for Tex somewhere, and this guy was suggested as a recipient of some of that...
Sunday Rockpile: Fuentes Falling Back to Rockies price range?
Buster Olney has had a couple of blog posts the last two days that include the Rockies as a possibility to re-sign Brian Fuentes. Fuentes' agent said that the left-hander wouldn't want to come back to Denver, and the team has moved, signing Alan Embree and Glendon Rusch for instance, as though...
Sunday Rockpile: Arbitration Deadline #2; More Winter Meeting Previews
So today it will become official that Brian Fuentes will turn down the Rockies offer for arbitration and seek opportunity elsewhere. The Rockies will get two draft picks in compensation when he does.

Everything seems to be pointing that the Jays will look more intensely at moving him during the winter, so there's time,...
Friday Morning Rockpile:
Chris Iannetta's genetically enhanced brain has apparently figured out how to defy the humidor, as his broken bat, two-run HR last night clearly demonstrates. Iannetta's bat and Ubaldo Jimenez's recovery from a shaky beginning led the Rockies to a victory in last night's game. Iannetta's tenth...
Saturday Morning Rockpile:
Russ answered more of Jessica Bader's questions at Take the Seven Train, unfortunately, due to an increased workload this week I wasn't able to participate this time around, so I want to offer an apology to Jessica. Brian Fuentes will say that he'll play in New York. Matt Holliday won't say that...
