Nolan Arenado

[ThisIsMyCrew]

Curious as to what everyone thinks it’d take to get Nolan. Signed thru next year but at a hefty price, $17 million this year. He’s a legit middle of order bat that has been vocal as of late about playing for a winner. Is there any chance he could be a play? Not overly impressed by Shaw even with his homers. I would say he’s a better all around player than machado and is signed for another year.

Cost would be extremely prohibitive. Arenado is a better player, but even though they are roughly the same age, Shaw is cost controlled for the next several years. I wouldn't touch 3B.

Rockies would never trade him

[YelichPosse]

Not happening but it would be amazing. But, the Rockies chance of moving him hover around 1%. He is their Todd Helton 2.0.

Doesn’t he have crazy home/road splits?

This year yes, more than "usual". Mostly he has been better at Coors than on the road, but no slouch on the road. This is the one year that looks "bad" split wise.

He plays for the Rockies, so yes.

Who is the guy that has reverse splits, or had reverse splits there? I can't recall who it was... maybe was a couple years ago...?

Every year a handful of guys do but I'm not aware of a guy that has had them for an extended period of time. That said, I'm sure someone did a few years ago.

Was it Larry Waker?

If he's not going to resign you can bet he's going to be traded. Under team control thru 2019.

I just looked and the steroid era is so fun to look at with Coors Field numbers.

 

Walker's home batting line in 1999:

 

.461/.531/.879/1.410 with 26 HR in 66 home games (only started 58).

 

No, he's not the one.

Yea, it was not he.... haha WOW.

Parra has reverse splits this year. LeMahieu kinda has reverse splits but it's basically because he's hit some homers on the road. Still a way higher BA/OBP/etc. at home this year and his career is majorly home-juiced. Ian Desmond does as well. It's a bit of a strange year all around for the Rockies.
