First Impressions
Editor’s note. This was sent into our Supreme Master last week, but our Supreme Master was off vacationing in Maui! Why isn’t he watching every pitch of every Rockies Spring Training game?

3 Up – 3 Down: Pacheco, Pomeranz and Moyer
The Rockies made some personnel moves this week including optioning Jordan Pacheco to AAA to make room for the inauspicious debut of Drew Pomeranz.

Jordan Pacheco optioned to AAA
On Saturday night after the Todd Helton home run the Colorado Rockies recalled Drew Pomeranz to start today’s game and to make room for Pomeranz they sent Jordan Pacheco down to AAA.
