Rockies Inquire On Justin Upton, Gavin Floyd
By Luke Adams [November 17, 2010 at 7:21pm CST]
The Rockies have contacted the Diamondbacks and White Sox to inquire on Justin Upton and Gavin Floyd, respectively, according to Troy Renck of the Denver Post. Both teams are said to be listening to offers for their respective players.

We've rounded up the rest of today's Upton rumors here, with the latest from Jayson Stark indicating that Arizona seems "genuinely open" to moving their young outfielder. According to a team official that spoke to Renck, the D'Backs would be open to dealing Upton within the division, if the return was significant enough.

Meanwhile, we heard today that the White Sox would be willing to discuss trading Floyd, and Renck says the Sox have asked the Rockies about . Colorado doesn't currently have a third baseman who could replace Stewart, but as Renck reported earlier, the club has interest in a handful of players who could handle the hot corner.

Despite their interest in potential trade candidates, the Rockies may still use free agency to fill their holes, as owner Dick Monfort admits: "We are really (reluctant) about giving up young players (in trades)." According to Renck, the Rockies also have interest in Scott Kazmir and "continue to monitor" the Victor Martinez situation

Looks like Mike Mulligan.

He's played third & second base for the Rockies and sported jersey #9 for the black & purple. I'm not so sure I'd make the deal, especially when you consider the White Sox called up a guy who seemed to impress Ozzie in September. That guy is Brent Morel, who may very well be the favorite for the Sox third base job in Spring Training.

Hits for some power, but seems to have a lot of problems with contact. I certainly wouldn't trade Floyd for him. Morel, by all accounts is going to be a very good glove man who could hit some doubles.

Here's something else to chew on. Jake Peavy's not going to be ready for the first month of the 2011 season. Remember that unusual injury Peavy suffered to the back of his shoulder vs. the Angels last summer? The scoop is Jake won't start throwing until at least January, and likely won't be pitching much when the White Sox report to Spring Training in Glendale, AZ shortly thereafter.

Kujoe got it wrong....it's not G. Gloyd....it's R. Gloyd, as in Ross Gloyd.
