Your 2010 Rockies


Now that we have signed an integral part of the 2012 rotation, I was hoping to look shorter term with a look at our 2010 roster. I hope to have some fun with this. IMO, the Rox will probably lose Marquis to free agency with my guess of him going home to NYC with the Mets. I do think there is a decent chance that the Rox may be able to resign DeLaRosa to a 2-3 year deal at $6-$7 mil per. Francis and Chacin would battle for the vacated rotation spot. In the bullpen, most have said the Rox will not exercise the option on Bettancourt (huge mistake). I would assume Beimel is probably toast but we do have Bucholz and Corpas coming back from injury. I think Atkins gets non tendered giving our Russell Branyan clone Ian Stewart the full time 3B gig. Torreabla probably gone to free agency so either Phillips or Belorin becomes the backup catcher. Spilly likely traded as well because he will make too much for a 5th outfielder - maybe Murton takes that role. Finally, they are not going to pay Q a whole lot so if he wants a bump he is probably gone as well - not shedding any tears there.

Anybody else have some thoughts - my concern right now is that we go into 2010 without both Marquis and DLR and the starting pitching takes a huge step backwards.
