PrintRockies part ways with Atkins | ColoradoRockies.com: News
The Rockies have officially non-tendered Garrett Atkins, as expected, and he is now a free agent. I'm sure he will draw plenty of interest on the open market, though he'll probably only receive a one-year deal with the club that eventually signs him. Atkins had a nice rookie season in 2005, leading the club with 89 RBI's and finishing fourth in the NL ROY voting. He then had his breakout year in '06, which saw him post a .965 OPS. However, it's been all downhill from there for Garrett, culminating in (by far) the worst season of his career in 2009. Perhaps the most disturbing thing about Atkins' decline is his walk rate, which has absolutely plummeted since walking more times than he struck out in 2006. It may be worth noting, however, that it was a bit better last year than in 2008.
GM: St. Louis Cardinals made offer to free agent Matt Holliday - ESPN
No details on the terms of the offer have been leaked at this point, but you'd have to think that the offer is better than what the Rockies threw on the table to try to keep in in Colorado. However, Joe Strauss of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch apparently has a source who says that is not the case.

Inside the Colorado Rockies " Sky Sox pitching coach resigns | Major League Baseball in Denver
According to Jack Etckin, Chuck Kniffin has stepped down from his post as Sky Sox pitching coach in order to attend to his elderly, ailing father. Etkin says the Rockies will probably replace him internally, as Bryan Harvey (Tulsa), Doug Linton (Modesto), and Dave Schuler (Asheville) are all candidates for the job.

Ryan Speier signed with the Nationals.
The Rockies bullpen has a higher grade of talent right now, but Speier (a lot like Daley) was one of my favorites just for overcoming the odds to even make the majors. I’ll always root for him.

I completely and wholeheartedly agree with this sentiment

+1 (and rec'd)
I always liked Speier, and really, he’s always been a serviceable reliever, as long as he wasn’t overly relied upon in high leverage situations

Wow, Jason Kendall got 2yr/$6M from the Royals
That will probably affect negotiations with Torrealba. The Royals baffle me.
If Rodriguez & Kendall are getting $3 mil/yr
why should Torrealba accept less for what may be a mostly backup role?
Looked at another way, will the Rockies, with the payroll increase detailed in Jabberwocky’s post, really spend $3 million on a No. 2 catcher? I don’t mind if they do, but that’s $2.5 million (above Phillips’ salary for the same position) they they could save & devote to Street or other causes.
If they do sign Torrealba at something close to $3 mil, it’s going to be more & more tempting to try to do something with Hawpe’s $7.5 million. Since they apparently aren’t shopping Hawpe that aggressively, it appears Rockies management has just decided to bite the bullet & commit to an $85 million or so payroll. If so, good for them, and Rockies fans should recognize the significance of that commitment in tough economic times.
No records in the last 10 years should count.
I'm reading it another way,
And again, I should say that I still think Jabbs’ overestimates the 2010 salaries of several of our arb-eligible players so I think $85 million is about $4 million higher than my estimate, but I see the Torrealba situation as deteriorating for him and getting better for the Rockies. There aren’t as many stupid GM’s for him to use as leverage, only Omar Minaya is left it seems, as Sabean has already conceded the cost is too much, and Minaya seems more interested in Molina.
Betancourt is a pretty big one, I've heard around $4 million is what most people see him getting,
Your projection is a million more than that, Barmes I have penciled in at around $3.5M, Street I anticipate will settle at close to what Soriano just signed for ($7.25M), maybe a bit above. The other’s aren’t that different.
Okay, I get that...
my projections for Barmes and Street is not taking into account the probability of them signing a multi-year deal—I’m guessing 3/12 for Barmes and 3/25 for Street should that get done, which would be about in line with what you’ve said.
If the Rockies go year to year with the players, I foresee a higher salary though. I could be low on JDLR or Hammel’s figures too.

but if he's competing for a starting job, as Jim Tracy says,
then why not? I understand where Torrealba is coming from here. I do think he eventually will have to make some concessions, but he’s right to price himself where he does.
they baffle everybody.
So far we’ve seen a lot of stupid in the 2010 offseason, and only a few moves that look really shrewd. The smart moves have been mostly confined to teams dealing with players already under control, like the Iannetta extension, while the idiocy seems to be stemming from a divergent read of the market. Middle and lower market teams we would normally consider well run, like the Rays and Rockies and Twins aren’t in a rush to fill their positions, while other teams seem to be jumping the gun.
While most of the idiocy has been on the F.O. side, I have to say that Bengie Molina’s and Torrealba’s agents might be misreading the tea leaves themselves, though. They’re no longer gaining leverage on the Mets and Rockies with these other teams filling their holes, and if any catchers do get non-tendered tonight, they might be losing it.
I agree with you on the stupidity
Such as:
If you were the GM of the Houston Astros, who play in a park with a short LF porch that favors right-handed power hitters, and you had a hole to fill at 3B, would you:
A. Jump on an early signing of Pedro Feliz for $4.5 million, or
B. Wait a few days until G. Atkins becomes a free agent & see if you can
either sign him for less or use negotiations with him to leverage Feliz
down a bit?
If you’re stupid, I think you do A. Ed Wade, take a bow.
No records in the last 10 years should count.
If the Padres are shopping Kooz....
they may just go after Atkins…..he always hit well at Petco….
and I called him going to the Pads about 2 years ago, being that he is a SoCal guy….

It doesn't seem the Pads are making all of the dumb moves we thought they were...

Good-bye Garrett. Had a great memory of you last year when taking my 7 year old son to a game against the Padres early last season. Sitting behind the 3rd base dugout the Rockies down to their last out and you came through with a base hit up the middle for a walk-off base hit. That was a special game. I forgive you for all of the wiffs down the stretch. Best of luck to you wherever you land.
Thanks for a great season of Baseball!

Sorry that this is completely off topic.
Okay, due Monday for chemistry, I have to make a mole (the furry kind) because we are studying moles (the chemistry kind). They are typically puns (Molebama, Moletallica, etc.). I have to do a presentation tying my mole to chemistry moles and Avogadro’s number. However, I can’t think of anything that’s not way too obscure. Any Ideas?

I’m leaning toward that one. I would say that he has had 6.02 × 10 to 23rd tantrums in the last season and was fined a mole’s worth of dollars. Next, he will use this as evidence that e was the actual discoverer of Avogadro’s number, and Avogadro is a fraud.

EY2 has never professionally played 3B, but people in the organization seem to think he can.
I’d be skeptical of that, however. Even though we have a second string for each position (assuming Hawpe can backup 1B), I still want the final bench spot to hold a 1B/3B backup. Fernando Tatis would be a starting point, but I don’t want Melvin Mora.

I don't want Mora, either
He’s been a malcontent the last year or so, and anecdotal evidence appears to point towards possible past PED use…

Atkins was pretty damn good 06-07
but it was his diet that cost him his swing that really hurt him. Apparently he’s one of the more lazier players in the MLB. I’m sure if A-Rod didn’t exercise so damn much he would be putting up a lot worse numbers, so don’t go off saying that 06-07 were flukes talent-wise.
Impossible not to have positive thoughts.

what's your problem?
is it me? or what I posted almost 2 years ago at the beginning of the the 08 season?
2 years of baseball can change a player a lot. It’s not my fault Atkins took one of the sweetest swings, and pissed it away, due to laziness.
I think Atty is going to turn it around....

Redhawk is such a good poster..
that few people ever catch on to the little nuggets he composes.
OF is a great example. Barker and Smith look ready for a corner OF job. So that means either Holliday an MVP caliber but possibly unsignable plaer needs to be moved, or Hawpe and his new 3 year contract needs to be moved, or both. OR Barker and Smith need to be moved. And that doesn’t even begin to talk about CF where we have Pods and Willie T in the majors and Cory Sullivan in AAA and Dexter Fowler, who looks ready NOW in AA.
Barker didn’t work out, but the rest of that statement is spot on. And seriously Dahlian, learn to use the link button.

Hawk pointed out early last year how inconsistent Tulo’s batting stance was game to game and sometimes AB to AB. I believe he might have even suggested he stand up straight and not be so closed, which is the stance he stuck with a month later and made him an MVP candidate

there does seem to be a
a little bit of “attack Redhawk” around here. Going back to 2008 to do so? Is really out of line. I’m not sure how or why anyone would even think to go that far back to pick out a post on a player.
Yeah, seriously.

Welcome to being
a fan of a successful baseball team I guess. Tons of new faces around, things being put under the microscope more, greater amount of emotion invested, all via the beautiful, impersonal, invisible internet. Bummer but I guess its not too bad a price if it means your team finally is acting like it knows what the hell it’s doing…

Wow!
I am pretty sure that two years ago there wouldn’t be too many Rockies fans arguing Redhawk’s point…in fact, no one called him crazy in that thread…my question is this…did you seriously dig through all of the threads from early 2008, or did you keep that bookmarked just for this day?
That is pretty pathetic on your part. I think some people here forget that disagreeing with the masses doesn’t mean you are an idiot.

I tend to agree with you, but it wouldn’t break our season if we went into it with Johnson as our backup corner.

He played left field last year
with positive results.
Ultimately, he’s lefty, and he’s never played anything else besides second and left, so i don’t think he’s a fit for us.
