Rockies Make A Huge Move!

Rockies have announced a deal today that is going to excite and dissapoint Rockies fans all over. General Manager Eric Myers announced during his Monday conference call that he had made a huge deal with the Washington Nationals saying "I just inked a deal that will move Todd Helton, David Aardsma, along with a few specs for Miguel Cabrera. This was a very tough decision to move Todd knowing that he has been the face of this team for years. Fans need to embrace this as a very positive move that brings in one of the top young players in the league."

If this is a sign of things to come the offseason could be very interesting here in Denver. We all knew that Myers was a aggressive GM that wanted to mold this team to his idea of what it will take to get into the playoffs in 2010, but to have your first move as GM be the one that moves fan favorite and cornerstone of the franchise for years is a very risky one.
