Colorado and Texas trade

[Eric]

The :COL: have agreed to trade
Chris Ianetta  $3.55M (2012)
Seth Smith $.429M (2012)
Felipe Paulino $.790K (2012)

to the :TEX: for
Engle Beltre $.440M (2012)
Robbie Erlin P-n/a
Tanner Scheppers P-n/a
Jake Skole P-n/a
Leoyns Martin $3M (2015)


The :COL: confirm the trade. I do this trade to help build for the future. I don't see Smith being part of the Rockies organization in the future and am looking for some very good prospects. Losing a preforming Iannetta hurts, but sending him to a team that is looking to win now helps out cause.

I am very high on the Texas specs hoping they can show why they are tops. Good doing business Dave and good luck this year.

I like getting some Vets to help out here as i lose some pretty good specs but trying to win now it helps with the Veteran players.
Thanks Eric for the trade

Paulino is a sneaky value here and Ianetta is the big cheese to give a lot of extra points at catcher.  Beltre, Scheppers, Erlin, and Skole are all decent prospects in return.

This is a fair trade that will certainly depend on how well Ianette does in Texas. :iatp:
