The Rockies are not looking to move right-handed pitcher Ubaldo Jimenez.

They will, however, listen to what other teams might want to offer.

And with the Rockies have failed to meet expectations in the first half, and pitching in a severe shortage in the major leagues, plenty of teams at least want to explore the possibilities with the Rockies and Jimenez.

There were requests for 17 scouts tickets for the Rockies game against Milwaukee, in which Jimenez started, well above normal. Among teams with interest are Detroit, Atlanta, Cincinnati, the New York Yankees, Philadelphia, St. Louis, Chicago White Sox and Cleveland.

Jimenez struggled at the start of the season, but finished the first half strong. After going 0-5 with a 5.86 ERA in his first nine starts he was 4-3 with a 2.53 ERA in the eight starts prior to Thursday. He has had problems at Coors Field this year (1-5, 6.24), but is 3-3 with a 2.28 ERA on the road.
