The Rockies made a big splash in 2007, and despite their rocky (get it? Good god I'm hilarious) showing in the World Series several Rockies' performances piqued the interest of needy teams. Kaz Matsui has been squired away by the Astros and two other players, pitcher Brian Fuentes and shortstop Clint Barmes are now conjuring up trade dreams in the hearts of a couple other teams.

Both the O's and the Angels have been looking at Rock shortstop Clint "Just Call Me 'Deer Meat Lover!'" Barmes, who is a lifetime .216 hitter with a cringe-worthy OBP of .237. What's more, his fielding percentage at shortstop is .965. Granted, not one of those five was a full season -- the most games he played in a season was 131 in 2006 -- but I'm having trouble seeing how he is garnering interest from not one but two teams. Insight, O's and Angel fans?

See who else is turning heads after the jump!
