Have the Rockies changed their pitching development strategy?

Denver Post sports writer Patrick Saunders posts his Rockies Mailbag every other week on Tuesdays.

Pose a Rockies- or MLB-related question for the Rockies Mailbag.

Why would the Rockies trade the best shortstop in the game for the most over-paid shortstop in the game? I was hearing the Rockies wanted to dump Troy Tulowtizki's salary to spend on pitching and that Jose Reyes makes more money in the next two years than Tulo was going to make. It makes no sense that Reyes was involved unless they had traded him before the deadline.
