Rockies Acquire Jose Lopez
December 3rd, 2010 | 
Author: The Rockies acquired Jose Lopez from the Mariners for right-hander Chaz Roe, according to Shannon Drayer of ESPN 710 in Seattle (on Twitter). The Mariners have confirmed the move.
“Chaz is a former first-round pick with a nice arm, a 24-year-old sinker ball pitcher,” GM Jack Zduriencik said in a press release. “We look forward to seeing him in a Mariners uniform.”
It appeared that the Mariners were going to non-tender Lopez, so they did well to get something for the 27-year-old infielder. He batted .239/.270/.339 in 622 plate appearances last year and saw his homer total drop from 25 to 10. Lopez has always had trouble reaching base, as his career .297 OBP shows. He has experience at second and short, two positions the Rockies could use depth at.
Roe, 24, posted a 5.98 ERA with 6.6 K/9 and 3.0 BB/9 in 158 innings at Triple-A last year. It was his first season at Triple-A and the highest ERA of his pro career.

Jose Lopez traded to Colorado Rockies
UPDATE 8:00 p.m.:Josh Wilson has signed a major league deal with the team as well.
The Mariners just announced that Jose Lopez has been traded to the Colorado Rockies for right handed pitcher Chaz Roe.
“Chaz is a former first-round pick with a nice arm,” GM Jack Zduriencik said in a release.
Roe, 24, was a 32nd overall sandwich pick selected in the 2005 entry draft. He made 27 starts in Class AAA last season, going 9-13 with a 5.98 ERA.
Guess those reports about Lopez being non-tendered were premature.
This rates as somewhat higher than losing him for nothing.
