Ubaldo HAS taken the mound in Denver.

The possible back-up starter, Rogers, is warming up in the Rockies bullpen.

The Rockies announcers say something must be imminent.

Crazy stuff going on!

Denver announcers feel a deal might have been agreed on at the last minute so Jimenez is merely in there until the other guy is ready to take over.

Ubaldo has recently said his lost of velocity this season is caused by his curtailing drastically his off season throwing.

Ubaldo had some injury issues this year: hip flexor, groin, thumb cuticle. But can that explain drop in avg FB velo from 96.1 mph to 93.4?

4 for 1, including the big stud.

Wow.

I think those tweeters are making stuff up!

Ubaldo has been told in the dugout between innings that he has been TRADED.

That's right off the telecast. Ubaldo is shaking hands all around the dugout.

This is the kind of dealnthat will get a gm fired

C'mon, Ken, you've followed the Indians long enough to know a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. I guess you are one of the people who didn't want to trade for Pedro Martinez because they insisted on Jaret Wright. That cost us a ring or three. Give me the bird in the hand. Glad to see the Indians finally do something ballsy.

Actually, HB, it's b/c ken only posts negative things about the Indians! If we hadn't made the trade, he'd go on an on about how it was a "look-good" offer. Right, kenm?

One guy against the deal is David Huff.

Unless he's the 4th guy.
