Troy E. Renck tweeted some details about how this whole Paulino/Barmes trade went down:
The Rockies talked about trying to make a two-year deal work. Couldn't gain traction, then trade came along that made sense for both sides. "I don't have a bad thing to say about my experience," said Barmes. Barmes goes to a park suited for a pull hitter. Should start at SS.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
