As far as I'm concerned, Matt Carpenter is a 2b.
Adams and Wong for Tulowitzki? !@#$ing done. The Rox don't have a 2b to speak of and Helton's on the way out. I'd probably include an arm as well if they needed it.
Pick up Tulo and suddenly you have the 3-hole hitter that we need and possibly the premier defensive SS in MLB. Absolute worst case scenario is that he moves to 3b in 3 years to replace Freese when he departs.

Why in the hell would the Rockies take that deal unless they are in full salary dump mode? That is outright theft.
Plus, much like Reyes, he can't stay on the field.
