Holland's option could end up costing as much as $23 million with incentives. Funny how the Rockies didn't mention those pricey incentives when telling us what a genius Bridich is for signing Holland for $6 million - which ended up costing $14 million. The Rockies should be praying for Holland to leave - they cannot afford a closer for $23 million, especially not one with a 3.61 era and 3 and 6 record. 

The Rocks should be looking to move Bridich's other expensive mistake, Ian Desmond. Ironically the Rockies could probably re-sign Cargo, the guy they expected to replace with Desmond, for far less than Desmond is costing them. Despite whining about being a small market team the Rockies make a lot of stupid payroll mistakes - as shown by the $45 million (or 30%) of their payroll that was "dead money." The Yankees and Dodgers can afford stupid, the Rocks cannot. 

The Rockies #1 need remains what it was last year - a couple of decent starting pitchers.
