It is finally baseball season! How do I know? I saw the Beer Alien today. If you have ever attended a Rockies game at Coors Field and sat in the left field stands you most certainly have seen the Beer Alien before. He has his own business cards he hands out with his cell phone …

Over the next week or so I will preview 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 first base. Previous: Catcher Players lost: The two players who …

Too many “baseball” people think Moneyball and Athletics GM Billy Beane were all about on-base percentage and once everyone figured out what OBP was Beane and the A’s no longer had a leg up on the rest of baseball.

2011 has been a year of more ups and downs for the Rockies than driving up Berthoud Pass. In April, they seemed unbeatable, starting 11-2 and finishing the first month at 17-8. Colorado was a mile higher than any other club in baseball. In May though, the wheels fell off and nearly nothing went right …

The worst day of the year for sports is upon us, the Wednesday after the All-Star game is brutal. Unless you are a baseball player than you probably love today because it is a guaranteed off day. Me? I hate it. While Logan has been running down the first half grades (RP, SP, IF, OF) …

The unofficial halfway point of the baseball season is upon us. Or is this the official halfway point? Whichever it is the Rockies have played 92 of the 162 games they will play in 2011. It is the All-Star break and other than Troy Tulowitzki the Rockies have three days of rest and relaxation. After …
