I see
Snakepit hasn’t been having Spring Training game threads. Otherwise I’d threaten to go hijack that.

Well,
I could go put one up, like I did a few times earlier in ST, but I’m not sure it’s worth the effort. We have much fewer users online during this time slot, and since there’s already a GDT here for the same game….

Renck has the Rockies lineup on his blog
http://blogs.denverpost.com/rockies/2009/03/30/rox-pregame-marquis-needs-a-good-start/
Pretty much the expected starting day lineup except Pods in left.

Augie over Lopez at 2B. Better defense.
Whitesell at 1B over Tracy. Interesting. More power.

He's still got some power,

Mentioned in a Jayson Stark ESPN chat
JP (Noo york): Read that the Rockies are looking to move Torrealba. Would he be a good fit with the Mets? Schneider and Castro really have not done a lot for the Mets.
Jayson Stark: (2:38 PM ET ) The Mets are actively looking for a catcher. They were even in on Ronny Paulino before the Phillies traded him. And Torrealba is certainly better than Paulino is — but the Rockies also want more.
Help us, Omar Minaya, you’re our only hope!

What does that mean for Stewart?
If Ortmeier can play first, Atkins wouldn’t have to shift over from third, and Stewart wouldn’t get the start, on days when Heltons sits. Does this mean Stewart is headed for the Springs as well? Otherwise, I see no reason to keep Ortmeier instead of Murton.

I don't know,
I see regression for Drew, status quo for CoJack and Snyder and Reynolds really doesn’t strike me as the type of player to get better until a fundamental change occurs in his approach at the plate. Young and Upton I could see being quite a bit better, though. I’m not sure what to expect from Felipe Lopez, I’m hoping it’s not good.
by Rox Girl on Mar 30, 2009 2:51 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs
Lopez
should be somewhere between total crap (Washington) and total win (St. Louis).
Not sure why you see regression for Drew, though. Unless your thinking is that pitchers will have adapted.

It's mostly because most forecasters say so...
Even Bill James, who tends to be overly optimistic, is calling for a slight downgrade from what he did last year. I’m of course biased and will tend to ignore mitigating factors for your players that might prove in their favor, but in this case, I really don’t know if I’d expect an improvement from him even without my bias.

Depends
on whether or not you think this season will be closer to his 1st half or his 2nd half.

by DbacksSkins on Mar 30, 2009 3:13 PM MDT up reply actions 0 recs
How about close to his aggregate?
I think that it’s easy to look at 1st half/2nd half splits and assume that there are two different players we’re talking about (see us with JDLR) but the reality usually is that full season performances are the best indicators of what to expect going forward.

For Drew, I'm looking at his 2008 number as what to expect most seasons
during his peak, but that doesn’t mean 2009 won’t see a step back from that. Players often dip back to the curve after spike seasons.
