Colorado Rockies’ right fielder Brad Hawpe is on the trading block according to The Sporting News via The New York Post.  Hawpe will make $7.5 million in 2010, and has proven to be somewhat consistent over the last few years with 22-29 home runs per season.  He does have the Colorado effect where his numbers will not necessarily transfer to his new home.  If he can put up 15-18 home runs and 80+ RBI’s, he’ll be worth the $7.5 million.  Like last year’s Matt Holliday, Oakland could make a deal with Colorado and replace their current right fielder Ryan Sweeney and use Hawpe for trade bait come July.
