On paper, the January trade between the Colorado Rockies and Atlanta Braves looked like a decently smart move for new general manager Jeff Bridich: the Rockies sent two catchers (Chris O'Dowd and Jose Briceno) to Atlanta in exchange for two pitchers (Gus Schlosser and David Hale).
Considering the fact that the Rockies appear fairly set at catcher for the short-term (and hopefully long-term) future, shipping off two minor league catchers -- including the son of your former general manager -- in exchange for an asset you can never have too much of (pitching, duh) seemed like an intuitive move.
