Of course, Colorado Rockies fans know the trade I was thinking about, being the deal that sent Troy Tulowitzki and LaTroy Hawkins to the Toronto Blue Jays in exchange for pitching prospects Jeff Hoffman, Jesus Tinoco and Miguel Castro, as well as a shortstop who doesn’t deserve to have his name mentioned in this article.
It was a deal that surprised many Rockies fans as well as fans around Major League Baseball. Tulo was suddenly gone and Colorado was looking for who would take his place in the lineup and in the field.
