But would the Rockies lie? Let’s find out. Juan Rincon was placed on the 15-day DL on Saturday night to make room for Joe Beimel.  The Rockies, for God knows what reason, seem to really like Rincon.  So much so, each time they need to send out a reliever, even though Rincon has been the obvious choice, he’s out of options, so he remained on the roster.

Rockies Ownership Shows Commitment To Winning With Moves

Via Bleacher Report  |  August 01, 2009
Go back one year ago. The Rockies were living in a fantasy world thinking that they were still in the National League West race.
