When the Colorado Rockies traded their superstar righty back in 2011 to the Cleveland Indians, they got back four players. None of them have worked out.
The Colorado Rockies shipped Ubaldo Jimenez off to the Cleveland Indians at the trade deadline in 2011 for minor leaguer Joe Gardner, pitcher Alex White, utility man Matt McBride, and a player to be named later.
Two weeks later, that PTBNL became Drew Pomeranz, and the Colorado Rockies had moved a very good starting pitcher and got in return two of an organization’s best pitching prospects (Pomeranz and White), a minor leaguer (Gardner) and a slugger who could have become something special.
