http://tinyurl.com/2b9lucu DENVER -- The Rockies' search for a versatile right-handed hitter led to them acquiring Jose Lopez from the Mariners for Minor League pitcher Chaz Roe on Thursday night. Lopez figured to be one of the team's targets on the free-agent market if the Mariners non-tendered him. Instead, Lopez joins the Rockies as a third-year arbitration-eligible player. Lopez made $3 million last season. Lopez, who turned 27 on Nov. 24, made 142 appearances at third base last season and batted .239 with 10 home runs and 58 RBIs. Lopez was an All-Star Game participant as a second baseman in 2006. He also has played sparingly at first base and was a shortstop when he broke in with the Mariners in 2004. The Rockies were looking for a versatile right-handed hitter. He could figure prominently in the second-base mix, where the Rockies have a trio of young players -- Eric Young Jr., Jonathan Herrera and Chris Nelson, none of whom have played a full Major League season. Lopez also can spell regular third baseman Ian Stewart. Lopez is a career .266 hitter with 80 home runs and 431 RBIs in 873 games, all with the Mariners. His 25-homer season in 2009 with the Mariners was intriguing to the Rockies, said assistant general manager Bill Geivett. "He's a guy we've looked at for a long time," Geivett said. "We liked his versatility, and he's a right-handed bat. He also has some power potential. That's a pretty big ballpark in Seattle, and he's played in a division with Oakland and Anaheim, and those parks are not easy to hit the ball out of. We think he can do well at Coors Field." Roe, the Rockies' supplemental first-round pick in 2005, went 9-13 with a 5.98 ERA in 27 starts for Triple-A Colorado Springs in 2010. "We certainly didn't want to part with Chaz Roe, but we definitely need to add to some right-handed hitting to our mix," Geivett said. 小联盟 Chaz Roe (P) <--> 水手 Jose Lopez (3B) 进了一位右打~~ Lopez在2006年打进明星赛, 最好的成绩2009年 25HR 96RBI 球队可能把他摆在二垒跟三垒 -- 生活娱乐馆 生活, 娱乐, 心情 GlobalView 国际 Σ世界地球村 → 美国/异国旅游 LG_NAmerica 北美 Σ北美综合群组 Colorado 试阅 ◎Colorado新开版，版友快来呀~ --
