Reddy Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 Hey I saw this on rotoworld and it looks like he could be a decent pickup to use as a 5th starter if all else fails. What do you guys think? Mike Koplove - R - ARZ The Diamondbacks could consider non-tendering Mike Koplove, who is eligible for arbitration for the first time. Considering that he's due only $1 million or so in 2005, Koplove should have a little trade value if the Diamondbacks don't want him. The 28-year-old has a 3.44 ERA in 196 innings over the last four seasons. Dec. 18 - 1:53 pm et Source: Arizona Republic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elrockinMT Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 I don't think that a lack of potential 5th starters is our problem anyway. Either our rookies or one that we already have might do the job if needed, but it would be nice to get someone with experience, and one who doesn't give up a dozen home runs every start.

Reddy Posted December 18, 2004 Author Share Posted December 18, 2004 Honestly I really think that he could help... look at this bullpen (if we lose marte) Walker/Cotts/Adkins/Diaz Politte Hermanson Vizcaino Koplove Shingo Even without Marte that kicks ass, with him it's amazing.

qwerty Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 Diamondbacks reliever Mike Koplove is the latest player to be thrown into the three-team Randy Johnson deal. He'll go to the Dodgers. At the moment, it looks like the trade could be submitted to the commissioner's office on Monday. Once that happens, 72-hour windows will be opened for the Yankees and Diamondbacks to agree on contract extensions with Johnson and Shawn Green, respectively.
