Fuentes a possibility?

ESPN's Jayson Stark mentions that we've shown interest in Brian Fuentes from Colorado.  It's hard to imagine he wouldn't be the best arm in the pen, which could shift Gregg to the setup role and give us a lot more flexibility.

Stark says it would cost "one good piece."  Well we've got some good pieces.  Not a lot of great pieces, but plenty of good pieces.  I'd be willing to part with anybody from the Triple-A club, although who knows if they would want anybody.  I'd also give up some of our better positional guys if we were getting back a young guy or two.

This is pure speculation, but Colorado would also like to deal Garrett Atkins before the deadline.  I've long been a fan of Atkins and would love to see him at third base, with Cantu moving over to first.  But hey, that's just spitballing.

Poll
Should we go after Brian Fuentes?
  • Yes, he should be our closer
  • Yes, he should be our setup man
  • No, Gregg is good enough as our closer
