2013 prediction sure to be wrong

Kershaw, 2013 Cy Young Winner, leads the Dodgers to the NLCS

Every year I love to put out my own predictions piece (here is last year’s) and I am mostly always wrong. For those who like to point out how dumb I am; bookmark this so you can use it later this season. Division winners National League West: Los Angeles Dodgers: I don’t think it will …

The Rockies sign Jon Garland

garlandjonpen

Yesterday the Rockies singed Jon Garland to a Major League contract and the assumption is that he will take Drew Pomeranz’s spot in the rotation. Apparently the Rockies aren’t too keen on Pomeranz’s spring and feel he would be better served to continue to work on his mechanics in the minor leagues. He has spent …

I have a bunch of random thoughts flowing through my head and not sure each one deserves its own post. So here are a few things related to baseball and the Rockies….I am not sure how I can express how badly I cannot wait for April to arrive. Spring officially starts tomorrow and my family …

I’m sold: start Arenado on Opening Day

Arenado

Nolan Arenado has come out swinging in Spring Training, literally, he hasn’t taken a walk yet but he does have three bombs. For a kid who had a down year and some questioned his mental preparedness he has come out swinging to start Spring Training in an effort to get a strong look and make …

Rockies player goals for 2013

by Travis Lay

Can Fowler hit 20 triples and 20 homers in 2013?

Bored at work. I woke up way too early this morning (3:45) and it hit me like a ton of bricks about 8am. I was literally falling asleep at my desk. I decided to walk over to Wal-Mart and buy a Naked Juice in hopes that the walk and the cold would wake me up. …

Pitchers and catchers reported yesterday (and commercials were filmed). The rest of the team is required to report by next Saturday (February 16th). First Spring Training game is at home (but the Rockies are the away team) against the Diamondbacks on February 23rd. First official “home” Spring Training game at beautiful Talking Stick is the …

Avoid those inside pitches this year, Tulo

Two year’s ago Troy Tulowitzki was the named the second best shortstop in baseball by MLB Network, and at the time I cried foul, but since then MLBN has wised up and named Tulo the best shortstop in baseball each of the last two seasons. Yesterday MLBN had their “Top 10 Right Now” series on …

Todd Helton…c’mon man!

helton

What was Clint “Deer Meat” Barmes hiding from the rest of us? Is there a drinking problem within the Helton household? Apparently driving 4×4′s under the influence of alcohol – allegedly – isn’t the only thing Todd Helton drives when inebriated. Unfortunately. Helton has been the face of the Colorado Rockies since the late 1990′s. …

Pacheco's value ties directly to where he has eligibility

I don’t know about you, but I am starting to get that “kid on Christmas Eve” feeling. It is getting sooo close to pitchers and catchers reporting that the anticipation is building. Along with the awesomeness of baseball returning this also means fantasy baseball is right around the corner. So which Rockies players are ownable …
