I suppose if they plan on sliding Stewart to second they would be very unlikely to re-sign Matsui. Christensen <A HREF="http://www.startribune.com/blogs/christensen/?p=412" REL="nofollow">observed on his blog yesterday</A> that "the Rockies don’t seem to think Stewart is ready to step in immediately," but I don't see how that could possibly be the case. He hit very well in Triple-A last year and got his feet wet in the majors.Nick N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00848574337121154690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11215059.post-14523876080277019462007-11-07T12:14:00.000-06:002007-11-07T12:14:00.000-06:00They seem to think that Ian Stewart can play secon...They seem to think that Ian Stewart can play second but if they resign Matsui where does that leave him?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10354589353320234448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11215059.post-21886052776698718412007-11-07T05:25:00.000-06:002007-11-07T05:25:00.000-06:00Your boy Christensen blows up the Atkins deal in h...Your boy Christensen blows up the Atkins deal in his blog today.Diannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17102093471979033560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11215059.post-67428222423671163032007-11-06T12:17:00.000-06:002007-11-06T12:17:00.000-06:00Ubes, I have to imagine the Rockies would rather t...Ubes, I have to imagine the Rockies would rather trade Atkins. That organization is still working on a budget, and Stewart will be cheap for a lot longer. If given the choice, though, I'd certainly rather obtain Stewart.<BR/><BR/>John, I'm fully convinced the Twins will make some sort of trade to bring in a third baseman. Let's just hope it's one that makes sense.Nick N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00848574337121154690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11215059.post-58987550453658032332007-11-06T07:41:00.000-06:002007-11-06T07:41:00.000-06:00What a strange, strange market there is for third ...What a strange, strange market there is for third basemen this year. On the one hand, the free agent market is almost completely bare. On the other hand, there are possible trade candidates wherever you look. Coming into the offseason I couldn't have been more pessimistic about filling that hole. But now I'll be dissapointed if Lee doesn't swing a deal.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13907268840665045299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11215059.post-36129991923426197052007-11-06T03:33:00.000-06:002007-11-06T03:33:00.000-06:00I also kind of wonder if the Rockies would rather ...I also kind of wonder if the Rockies would rather trade Stewart than Atkins.
