Rockies need a lot of help I don't see them contending any time soon anyways.

My question is what other team's system should I target? And what;s the best pitcher can I get for Pujols?

Until they make it feasible to send lots of cash in trades, you aren't getting anyone to bite on Pujols. Nice try though.

It doesn't take a ton of time to rebuild and I believe he has 3 more years of team control. They don't really have much reason to trade him instead of building around him.

Since I am taking on the contract of Shields, could I throw them back a contract I don't want in JA Happ and take back another piece. Something like this:

Shields + OF/or other lesser minor mlb ready guy for Pompey + B prospect + Happ.

Well you can't trade Happ for 2 months

Yea the trade wouldn't happen until the All Star break/Deadline..just lining up possible deals.

Maybe I will compare Ross and Shields when I get to that point
