Rockies Want Rodrigo

From the Rockies Notes at DenverPost.com:

"The Rockies continue trolling for a starting pitcher and O'Dowd confirmed talks with Baltimore about veteran Rodrigo Lopez. The Orioles haven't been persuaded by the Rockies' initial trade proposal. "

It may be time for Lopez to move on but I hope the O's just don't give him away. His peripherals show he may not have pitched as bad as his ERA and win total suggest. I think he could still be very useful to the team in long relief (when the young pitchers get shelled) or as a spot starter should one of the front line guys get hurt.
