This is bizarre. I just checked my twitter feed and I see this from Passen:

 

Just confirmed @TroyRenck report that LHP Drew Pomeranz, RHP Alex White and 1B Matt McBride will be Colorado's package for Ubaldo Jimenez.

 

and right above that is this from Nightengale:

 

#mlb #Rockies Jimenez going down to bullpen to warm up...Apparently, not scratched yet.

 

Very interesting, I added a question mark to the thread title.

 

The Rox wouldn't approve a physical for the Yankees recently, I wonder if they are pulling the same with Cleveland.

NO TRADE! Ubaldo is pitching.

With a man up in the pen. Hold on now.

 

I've never seen this before. It's undeniable that something is happening with a man warming, I can't believe the Rockies are playing it like this, if you're hammering out a deal wouldn't you scratch him just as a precaution?

He's not pitching well, 2 walks thus far in the first. I imagine he's distracted.

 

And now a 2 rund double by Ludwick.

that^ they were saying on the cards/cubs broadcast how jimenez's parents and sister live right by the ballpark too, in refernece to how he'd handle getting traded. cant be too happy

Other than the small dip in velocity (he's still hittin' 94 consistently), there's nothing not to like about Ubaldo. He immediately becomes the second best pitcher in the central.

I looked it up; going from 96.1 to 93.4 on his average fastball isn't exactly a "small dip".

 

And another walk, I agree with the Rockies announcers: this is painful to watch.

I think his parents actually were living with him for a while...

Maybe the Rockies are trying to make a point? Pomeranz AND White or else? lol.

Interesting tweet from Heyman:

 

SI_JonHeyman Jon Heyman

appears rox now getting 4th player in deal

 

Another 2 run double. That's 4 runs allowed by Ubaldo now.

heymen just said the indians are getting a 4th player,hes gone. the rockies are so dumb for starting him

Dumb? I imagine the reason they started him was to get that 4th player from Cleveland...

Why are the Rockies dumb? The Indians are dumb for not getting this done sooner.

well maybe thats not the right word but meaning if you know 95% ur trading him and u tell him and then u still want him to pitch like that?
