Playing for Next Year

There are several teams that might as well look ahead to next year, one of them being the Rockies.
If I'm Colorado GM Dan O'Dowd, my rotation next season is Ubaldo Jimenez (if he's not dealt), Jhoulys Chacin and Juan Nicasio, a promising rookie. If they get Jorge de la Rosa back at some point next season from elbow surgery consider that a bonus.
But there is one thing for certain if I was in charge. There is no way that Aaron Cook and Jason Hammel are on the team. Cook, although pitching a nice game last night, has seen better days and is on the downside. He's too injury prone and unreliable. Hammel is simply awful. Bad pitches in bad spots. He's way too inconsistent. He has good stuff but he just doesn't know how to pitch. He's a thrower not a pitcher. He's gotta go. He's the poor man's A.J. Burnett.
As for the rest of the team, I like Mark Ellis at second but he's a stop gap player at the age of 34. Ian Stewart is not the answer at third and Chris Ianetta is a backup catcher at best.
This team, which I picked to win the division, is hopeless. Something is missing. The Rockies are too talented to wander aimlessly through the season and something needs to be done. Trading some dead wood might get their attention and wake them up.
By the way, one of the worst things you can say about a losing ballclub is that they are boring. The Rockies are boring.
