Even if you could ask him, he'd probably say something highly unhelpful like "well I think Smith is a good ballplayer, and I'd love to have him, but that would be up to the Rockies if they were going to make the kid available" or even less helpful "obviously, I can't comment on player moves that haven't actually happened yet, but yes, we'd love to have a guy like Smith around"...which wouldn't really make you feel any better. :)
