Initial prospect rankings do not paint a pretty Rockies picture

Categories:

Dan O'Dowd, Minor Leagues, Rockies

by Travis Lay

It is that time of year: the snow is falling in Denver (occasionally, at best), temperatures are freezing in the morning, all the talk is about some game this weekend that will last five hours with about 11 minutes of actual action, a game in which more interest is around the commercials than the teams, …

Good-bye Justin Upton!

Categories:

Around Baseball

by Travis Lay

Coors Field patrons won't have to see this much going forward.

Today Justin Upton was traded to the Atlanta Braves (along with Chris Johnson) for a handful of minor league players. Good riddance. Upton is one of the top players in baseball age 25 or younger. Since he first played for the Arizona Diamondbacks at the age of 19 it is almost hard to believe Upton …

Can the Rockies be better in 2013 without making any roster changes?

Categories:

Carlos Gonzalez, Dexter Fowler, Drew Pomeranz, Jeff Francis, Jhoulys Chacin, Jorge De La Rosa, Juan Nicasio, Michael Cuddyer, Players, Rockies, Todd Helton, Troy Tulowitzki, Tyler Colvin, Wilin Rosario

If this guy is back and healthy for 160 games in '13 the Rockies will be better.

Whoa! What is this?! A post on Blake Street Bulletin. Say it ain’t so! And one from Travis?? Does he even still blog about baseball? The fever is starting to catch. I want baseball. Last season was so abysmal I just needed some time off from writing about the Rockies. Apparently about four months of …

OK, I’ll bite. It has been a while since anyone wrote anything new for BSB. What can we say? We are passionate fans who were worn out by an exhaustively disappointing year for the Rockies. As Logan has said many times: “how many times can we write ‘The Rockies Suck’ and come off fresh?” I …

Rockies seasonal grades: pitchers

Categories:

Players, Rockies

by Travis Lay

While my grades for the Rockies batters were pretty good all around and very few “F’s” the pitchers will be another story. I don’t grade on wins and losses so the 75 pitch count limit won’t impact my grades much, but a poor WHIP and bad K:BB ratio will… The Rookies Drew Pomeranz – C-: …

Rockies seasonal grades: batters

Categories:

Rockies

by Travis Lay

Everyone else is doing it, why shouldn’t I? The Rookies (notice the length of this list) Wilin Rosario – A-: I know everyone loves to point out the negative (his defense) but I think his immense power potential that was shown in what amounts to 2/3’s of the season is enough to give him an …

Can Dan O’Dowd please follow? Who would you like to see as the Rockies next manager? I would love to see Joe Maddon as the next manager but could you imagine the strategic conflicts between him and O’Dowd and/or Bill Geivett? I’m not sure who the Rockies need as a manager but I would love …

With the new playoff format and the one game Wild Card game how would you fill out the Rockies lineup card? This is a fantasy land and the Rox made the playoffs AND are at home. You somehow got access to fill out the Rockies lineup…what does it look like? Assuming rest is OK and …

Around Baseball, Rockies, Wilin Rosario

by Travis Lay

There have been a few pieces recently on Wilin Rosario and his chances of winning the National League Rookie of the Year award. First we have this piece from Jon Heyman on CBS.com which includes this gem of a quote from Dan O’Dowd: “He caught one of the worst pitching staffs in the history of …

Did Marco Scutaro cheat the Rockies?

Categories:

Marco Scutaro

by Travis Lay

Over the past few days I continue to hear the Rockies radio guys talk about how Marco Scutaro has “really turned it on” since being traded to the San Francisco Giants. Yesterday Jerry Schemmel was raving about his 32 RBI since joining the team (or since August 1st, I can’t recall exactly) and how that …
