Colorado Rockies at Atlanta Braves, May 21, 2009 5:10 PM MDT
For more about Kris Medlen, who makes his MLB debut against the Rockies this evening, check out this article from Baseball Intellect.
The lineup I think speaks for itself, the only saving grace is that the hitters being used do seem to be at least close to their most efficient order. We will see if Hurdle's faith in Atkins and Barmes and Spilly as starters will pay off and start saving his employment.
Go Rockies!

I have a bad feeling about Medlen

Those some crazy numbers
Maybe Hurdle won’t have a job tomorrow.

I’m a long-time fan of that show, and the “pork in the treetops” line is probably my favorite zinger in a play full of them. Nice work!

Denny Stark had some crazy AAA numbers once, James McDonald was an ace in Vegas
I’m a lot more interested in what he has and how he uses it than the numbers he’s put up. In this case, he’s not quite as good as those figures make him appear, but of course, the Rockies have been making this kind of pitcher look like a Cy Young candidate anyway.

Your last point is a lot of what I'm getting at
I realize minor league numbers don’t always translate, but he was also rated as 98 and 99 by the Cube.

hope he gets better so we can trade him

I don't know that Fowler is a better leadoff candidate than Spilly.
Fowler’s been struggling lately. I want the kid to succeed and all, but you have to wonder if maybe he could have used some time in AAA.
But it is nice to see Ianetta in a more appropriate spot.

The way Hawpe and Helton are hitting you want them back-to-back and Atkins doesn’t deserve 5 or 6. Dreamy’s coming around lately and has earned the spot.

It's a good 20 minute plus train-ride.
I just find it more conveniently valued because it seems downtown and around LoDo you can either stay at a cut rate dive or have to pay out the eyeballs for a room. I’d rather stay down there and then make day/night trips into the city.

I like Hurdle about as much as a zit on my rump the day before heading to the nude beach, but he’s got a point about Tulo being a spaz in the wrong situations. I think Baylor needs to get that under control b4 he can be considered for manager. Jim Tracy, tho…

If Hurdle would just shut up and let Tulo figure it out on his own, this would not be a problem. The more you tell Tulo, the more he starts to think, and the more he thinks, the harder he grips the bat, the harder he grips the bat, the more he sucks.

Rockies are starting to figure him out,
Hawpe and Iannetta were both sitting FB, it seems. If he can’t throw strikes with the breaking stuff, the Rockies should start punching through soon.

I know a couple of the “new fangled pitching stats” say that Cook’s not an ace, but I don’t know of too many that say he sucks. Although BP’s PECOTA projection hated him, but nobody around here that I know of really thought that was legit anyway.
