**This was written before Monday night’s game against the Giants. Some stats below might not be totally accurate. Is it just me or does it seem like the Rockies pitching has been a lot better over the past month or maybe even six weeks? It could just be recent memory since the team has allowed …

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 …

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?

More than a week has passed since Tulo was hit with a pitch from a former teammate, and one aspect of the much discussed incident deserves some attention: why are we just now hearing about the contract dispute and clubhouse strife? When the Rockies traded Ubaldo Jiménez to the Cleveland Indians, most fans groaned and …

When the Rockies first traded Ubaldo, I was among those that were very much against it. I felt like he still had the skill set to be the successful pitcher he was in 2009 and the first half of 2010. This may come as a shocker, but I was wrong – very, very wrong. What …

Spring training beckons every year with new excitement for most every team (sorry Astros). Now that the Rockies are now full swing into spring training it is time to look at just what the future holds for this franchise. This is especially timely given that last year the Rockies traded the only pitcher in franchise …

Round about this time last year, the Rockies inaugurated their brand new Salt River spring training facility — built on Native American land at Talking Stick — with an 8-7 win over the D-backs. What many of us might’ve forgotten about that otherwise meaningless game, however, was what happened on the very first at-bat of …

At times, the blind optimism of Spring Training can be a bit much. Certainly, it’s an exciting time because baseball really is just around the corner. However, we often get carried away with best case scenarios and focusing on things that ultimately won’t matter very much. Every player came into camp in the best shape …

In part one I tried to determine just what makes an excellent pitcher. An excellent pitcher will most likely succeed at Coors Field. A staff of Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee, Justin Verlander, CC Sabathia, and Felix Hernandez would probably “fit” just fine at Coors. In thinking about building a staff at Coors, I think we …

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, …
