2009 Colorado Rockies Projection

No show squeezes five minutes of compelling baseball talk and information into an hour quite like MLB Network?s 30 Clubs in 30 Days. Commentators:? In Studio ? Greg Amsinger, Mitch Williams, Dan Plesac, John Hart.? On Location ? Trenni Kusnierek Opening Statements Greg Amsinger:? The beautiful city of Tucson, Arizona.? The spring home for a club that [...]

The Angels blasted the Colorado Rockies on Monday with a 12-3 victory, the club collected 20 hits including their first spring home runs.Catcher Jeff Mathis launched two in his first two plate apperances and the Angels got another from Brandon Wood. Wood had an extremely impressive day going 3-4 with a single, double, home run and three RBI. 2006's 23rd overall pick is the topic of discussion in

The Blue Workhorse 2009 2008 was certainly a disappointing season for the Rockies, following up a National League title with a dismal 74-win season. The off-season saw the departure of coveted stars Matt Holliday and Brian Fuentes, as well as speedy outfielder Willy The 2009 ...

Game 1 of the World Series was a rout by Boston, 13-1. Josh Beckett's filthy stuff kept the Rockies lineup in check. But it also was clear that the 8-day layoff the Colorado Rockies endured did, in fact, affect them....

In a rematch of Saturday's World Baseball Classic upset between the surprising Netherlands and the heavily favored (yet apparently over-paid) Dominican Republic, Ubaldo Jimenez was nothing short of lights out.

A few weeks ago, I made a very critical post about the 2008-2009 Duke team. Having come off of a very poor stretch, the once promising Blue Devils seemed to be succumbing to conference play, with disastrous consequences. I concluded that Duke's pounding of non-conference foes was clouding our view of their standing, statistically speaking. Pomeroy's rankings simply cannot...

After Coco Crisp had a bit of a bounce-back season last year, I figured he'd be big time trade bait this offseason. What I didn't expect was for him to be traded to the Kansas City Royals, but that is exactly what is being reported. Here's a quick breakdown of the trade: Boston: Receives right-handed reliever Ramon Ramirez (2008: 2.64 ERA, 70K and 31 BB in 71.2 IP) Kansas City...

With the weight of his entire country (half of which belongs to David Ortiz) on his shoulders, and his team staring elimination directly in the face, Ubaldo Jimenez delivered the greatest single pitching performance ever seen in the storied history of World Baseball Classics. His ten strikeouts in four shutout innings shattered the record (eight) set [...]

This afternoon's tilt between the Colorado Rockies and Toronto Blue Jays at Sky Dome wasn't the greatest baseball experience of my life ? but it almost was. Dustin McGowan almost threw a no-hitter, Frank Thomas almost hit his 500th home run, and I almost kicked someone's ass.

And apparently that goal is to mention Matt Holliday in every single Rockies article they publish. Woody Paige on Thursday. Like or hate the deal, like or hate the Rockies, like or hate the ownership, the general manager, the manager or me, life its own self is not the same without Matt Holliday on this team. He was [...]

So Boston came back from a 3-1 deficit to move on to play the Colorado Rockies in the World Series, huh? Apparently this has had a profound effect on many in the blogosphere.

Cory Sullivan has adopted a take no prisoners approach to spring training this Even though he signed a major league contract in January to play with the Mets, he is taking no chances. He's not walking around with a sense of entitlement believing that he doesn't have to try ...

Emotions were high Tuesday afternoon at Hi-Corbitt Field in Tucson. The big day had arrived. It was a day many Rockies fans — myself included — had anticipated and circled on their calendar many weeks ago. On this day, the Colorado Rockies hosted the Oakland Athletics for the first time all spring.  And, as you know, welcomed back [...]
