Rockies Taking Questionable Approach With Dexter Fowler

Chicago Cubs v Colorado Rockies

Admittedly, I can be a bit hard on Dexter Fowler.  When it comes to the young outfielder, I’m like one of those terrible fathers that only values their children’s achievements.  For a very long time, I’ve been expecting a lot of Dex, as has pretty much everyone that follows this team.  Rarely will you find …

Completely Fake Headline: Rockies Trade Dexter Fowler

Tommy Milone

A couple of weeks ago, I posted on Blake Street about a hypothetical trade with Nationals Baseball. Well, couple of days later we agreed to a deal, and, in true MLB GM fashion, I’m just now getting around to telling everyone. Turns out, these secretive little general manager games are fun. Anyway, I traded Dexter Fowler …

The Rockies are famous for slowly advancing their prospects through the minors.  However, when a player truly excels, they will move them up quickly.  Troy Tulowitzki only played 126 games in the minors.  Obviously, the Rox got that one right.  Despite being early in the season, there are several candidates in the Rockies’ system that …

Former NC State quarterback and current Asheville second baseman, Russell Wilson, is at a crossroads.  His first month of the season didn’t go particularly well and his college football coach recently informed him that he is no longer welcome at NC State.  Apparently, the thought of retiring from football didn’t sound appealing to Wilson because …

Kyle Parker — Rockies’ Prospect Spotlight

Kyle Parker is one of the finest athletes ever drafted by the Rockies. Last year at Clemson University, Parker became the first person to hit 20 homeruns and throw 20 touchdown passes in the same academic school year. According to his head football coach at Clemson, Parker has the ability to play both football and …
