Found January 19, 2009 on Eli's MLB Rumors:
The Rockies and Jorge De La Rosa have agreed to a one year deal worth 2 million dollars, avoiding arbitration. De La Rosa went 10-8 with a 4.92 ERA in 130 innings for the Rockies last season. He has the potential, if he can command his pitches better, to be a solid back-end of the rotation starter.

Change we can all believe in

Goodbye, red uniforms. Though more new alternates scares me. If they're black-on-black vests like the Rockies wear, I'm not going to be pleased. I guess nothing is worse than the McDonald's vests that we were wearing on Fridays.
