Rockies General Manager Dan O'Dowd characterized a trade for either star outfielder Matt Holliday or closer Brian Fuentes as "highly unlikely" in an interview Sunday with SI.com. In fact, O'Dowd said, "I would say we're more a buyer than a seller" right now. The only way he could see selling at the moment would be if, "The selling left me with just as competitive a club as we have now." In a switch, the Rockies actually have begun scouring the market for starting pitching. They have found it lacking but might ultimately consider a cost-effective pickup such as Paul Byrd or Josh Fogg, the ex-Rockie.
