Will Rockies' depth lead to a trade?
SCOTTSDALE, Az. – Few expect much from the Colorado Rockies’ pitching staff this season, and understandably so. The Rockies had a 5.49 team ERA in 2012, the worst in the National League by nearly a run per nine innings.
Offensively, though, the Rockies should be a handful for opposing staffs – and they’re deep enough in hitters to possibly swing a trade for another...
Will The Colorado Rockies Be The Worst Team In Baseball?
Key offseason additions: Wilton Lopez, Reid Brignac Key offseason departures: Jason Giambi The Colorado Rockies were very bad last year. At one point they used a 4-man rotation with a 75 pitch count. Their best player was injured for most of the year and they had a very bad pitching staff. … Continue reading »
Colorado Rockies: 3 Up and 3 Down
What the Colorado Rockies did as a baseball club last year was unsightly. At 64-98, they finished 30 games back of the Giants in the NL West. Only the Houston Astros, who mostly resemble a AA team, kept them from baseball’s worst record.
The Rockies’ pitching staff gave up a startling 890 runs on the season. No other NL team allowed more than 794. Colorado, playing 81 games...

The Rockies Want Josh Fogg, And It Makes Sense
As Ken Rosenthal reported earlier this week, the Rockies are looking to add a starting pitcher. This should surprise nobody — the club was an easy last place in the majors in both ERA and FIP last season, and even adjusting for Coors Field leaves them 28th and 26th (last and second-to-last in the NL) respectively in ERA- and FIP-.
