Ex-Rockies pitchers

Ubaldo hasn't pitched any better since leaving Colorado

As I am watching the Cubs @ Diamondbacks game on MLBN I see on the scroll that Franklin Morales made another start for the Red Sox today and his stat line looked pretty sharp. I also saw Brian Fuentes pitching to Melky Cabrera on my CBS Fantasy stats page and I got to wondering how …

Can we have Jason Hammel back?

Guthrie empty

Stick with me here. In a big hairy monster sort of voice “the big AL East is full of big bats. Rawr! Going from the AL East to the NL West (the land of spacious ballparks and light hitting teams) should be beneficial to Jeremy Guthrie. RAWR!” OK, you can ignore me again. That was …

New Rockies versus old Rockies

I wonder if O'Dowd wants Stewart back?

How are the Rockies fairing so far in 2012 vs some of the players they didn’t re-sign or traded away this past offseason?

Looking into Jeremy Guthrie’s first 4 starts

Colorado Rockies v Milwaukee Brewers

The trade for Jeremy Guthrie this offseason was greeted with a crooked eyebrow from Orioles and Rockies supporters alike. When Jason Hammel got off to a great start in Baltimore and Guthrie stumbled out of the gate many Rockies fans quickly soured on the move. While Guthrie has pitched poorly he certainly will end the …

Rockies Spring Training preview: starting pitchers

Could this be the Rockies Opening Day starter?

Over the last week I have previewed the 2012 season for the Rockies position by position. There have been some fan favorites jettisoned from the team and some new faces (albeit longer in the tooth) who have jumped on board. Today we talk starters, pitchers that is. Previous: Catcher, first base, second base, third base, …

Rockies stockpile pitching to trade for more pitching

Rockies new starting pitcher, Jeremy Guthrie

The old baseball axiom says that a team cannot have too much starting pitching. Can a team have too much crappy starting pitching? Recently Logan went over who might start for the Rockies and I would venture to say that aside from Jhoulys Chacin there isn’t one starter currently on the Rockies roster that I …

Prudent Dan

jdlrosa

Obviously, last year was extremely disappointing for every Rockies’ fan.  The truth is that the team we all expected to contend at the beginning of the season had a lot more weaknesses than strengths.  There were massive holes at third and second base, and the outfield was pretty weak against left-handed pitching.  But, even with …

Here are the pitchers, who could start, as listed on the 40-man roster page on the Colorado Rockies website as of December 6th: Jhoulys Chacin, Tyler Chatwood, Jorge De La Rosa, Christian Friedrich, Jason Hammel, …

Jason Hammel out, Alex White in There were some rumors earlier this week that Jim Tracy would not be opposed to a six man rotation. With Alex White throwing his last rehab start in AA it was likely that he would make his next appearance with the Rockies. It wasn’t clear if he would initially …
