NL team captain David Wright named his three sluggers for the Home Run Derby and surprisingly 2/3 of them were Rockies. Carlos Gonzalez and Michael Cuddyer have been asked to participate in the Home Run Derby, along with Bryce Harper. They will go up against the AL team, which so far consist of team captain Robinson Cano as well as Chris Davis and Price Fielder. Cano said he is reserving the ... [MORE]
Remember when CarGo had Arizona's number? Back when it seemed he took the trade they made of him personally with each and every swing? Can't remember that far back? Ok, how about when we had the potential to not go 1-11 with runners in scoring position? Or have to rely on Cuddyer to manufacture runs? Not that it's a bad thing, Cuddyer putting the pedal to the metal like he did ... [MORE]
Narrowly avoiding the sweep, the Colorado Rockies took the long and hard way towards the win in the final game against the Braves Wednesday afternoon. When the dust settled it took 12 innings, nine blown opportunities with runners in scoring position and 12 Rockies left on base before the catching combination of Rosario and Torrealba combined to walk-off on the Braves. Tyler Chatwood, who was called up for the first his ... [MORE]
In the second game of the Rockies vs Mets doubleheader, the Rockies entered the field having only 4 errors as a team, which was tied for the fourth best record in the majors. When they left the game they were sitting at seven. If the game ended with a loss, that would have been the main focus for fans and media alike. And yet it was the errors committed by the ... [MORE]
“WELCOME TO DENVER!” I can still hear ringing voice of Renelda Muse over the DIA speakers in the shuttles to the main terminal. So this article is my official “Welcome to Denver” for the Rockies four new lineup regulars: Michael Cuddyer, Marco Scutaro, Ramon Hernandez and Casey Blake. First a tip of the baseball cap to DanO, because although the Cuddyer money was substantially above market, I still for various reasons really ... [MORE]
For anyone who hasn’t attended the Fan Fest at Coors Field, it was a really great experience for baseball fans. The Rockies had pretty much the entire stadium open for viewing. Depending on where you wanted to start, you could head down to the lower levels and walk past the coach’s conference room and into the Rox clubhouse. Very spacious, lots of TV’s (Helton explained they put video of opposing ... [MORE]

Well, it looks like Olney and Renck are both either mistaken in their assessment of the Ross situation, or they were given incorrect information. Wednesday Saunders of the DP reported that the Ross rumors are wrong and the reason is exactly what i speculated earlier: too much depth in our outfield already. After reducing his expectations, from 3 to 2 years, the Rockies seem to be in talks with ... [MORE]
Michael Cuddyer and Casey Blake are the two latest additions to the Colorado Rockies, but they are far from being signed under the same contractual terms. Cuddyer signed a 3 year, $31.5 million contract while Blake was a paltry 1 year, $2 million. Blake's contract is also not guaranteed. Personally I like that Cuddyer was signed, even if I don't agree with the amount paid. Last year was extremely anti-climatic - hoping ... [MORE]
