Saturday Rockpile: Top pitchers report to Tucson "in great shape," more

PrintAs has been said many times before, the old Spring Training cliches are running rampant at right about this point of the year. However, extensive reading has given me the feeling that it's more than just a cliche for the Rockies' pitchers. Many of them are very strong mentally, and guys like Aaron Cook and Jeff Francis have supported their strong minds by reporting to Tucson with strong bodies, as well. Provided everybody can stay healthy, well..........you know.
Colorado's Jimenez looks good in first bullpen - MLB News - FOX Sports on MSN
The upcoming season brings tremendously high expectations around baseball, and particularly in the Rockies clubhouse, for Ubaldo Jimenez. So, upon seeing that Bob Apodaca reported that Jimenez had a great first bullpen session of the spring, it reaffirms those expectations - for me, at least. U-Ball has been working out of the stretch, trying to improve his command and attempting to get to the plate quicker. If Jimenez is able to correct his issues with runners on base, he will be a serious force to be reckoned with.

Thinner Cook not taking 2010 lightly | ColoradoRockies.com: News
Aaron Cook is determined to repeat the success he had in 2008 - the year in which he showed up to Spring Training in the best physical shape of his career. That is, until this season. Cookie is about 20 pounds lighter, and things that will help him avoid nagging back and leg injuries that hindered him last season and at the end of 2008. If Cook is able to get off to a hot start like he did two seasons ago, that will go a long way toward helping the Rockies assure themselves of avoiding what has become the norm: playing like crap for the first two months of the season.
Hardball in the Rockies: Notes: De La Rosa wants to stay
Thomas Harding posted a few blurbs on various Rockies pitchers his MLB blog yesterday afternoon. He notes that Jorge De La Rosa wants to stay in Denver, which is good for Rockies fans provided he mimics his performance from last season (or at least comes close). Pre-2008 Jorge needs not apply. He also says that Greg Reynolds looks to be healthy and working on correcting his delivery, among other things.
Rockies training means two jobs for dad De La Rosa - The Denver Post
Speaking of JDLR, Troy E. Renck's latest piece in The Post discusses De La Rosa's trying off-season, as his twin boys were born seven weeks premature and are still in an Hermosillo, Mexico hospital. Though he obviously had more important things on his mind, DLR still found the time to get his workouts in and according to Jim Tracy, reported to Tucson in terrific shape.
Jeff Francis looks good in side session | All Things Rockies
Repeating what we've been hearing for weeks, Renck says that Francis resembled his pre-2008 self during a side session yesterday. Also, Renck had blurbs about Huston Street (who looks to be healthier and more advanced than he was at this point last spring),Miguel Olivo (who is apparently an impressive physical specimen), and Justin Speier (who is quite the jokester).
Tracy raises the bar, expects team to be good - The Denver Post
Similar to what ATF linked to yesterday, but with this being Renck's take on the situation. It seems that Jim Tracy is really stressing to the club that they can't afford a repeat of the 2008 season. "What we did was good, but we can do even better," Tracy said. "When we leave here in six weeks, I want guys to know who they are, what they are, and what's expected of them."
Some ABCs of the Rockies’ camp as workouts begin today | All Things Rockies
For all of those guys who were/are looking for advice on the to-do's of Spring Training as a visitor, Renck has you covered.

The "great shape" cliche definitely beats the "shoulder's just a bit tight, it's normal" one
Cliche that it is, I’d much rather be reading this one than the alternative for pitchers.
Very true...
ask 2008 Jeff Francis, 2009 Brandon Webb, and as you mentioned earlier in the week, 2010 Jair Jurrjens how their tight shoulders are feeling.
Just an average guy with exceptional hair. Nothing more, nothing less.

Must've been hard
for JDLR to leave with his boys in the hospital.
The oxen are slow, but the earth is patient.
I have twins
Boy and girl. The hardest part was watching my little girl needing the oxygen tent right after she was born. They say that a lot of babies need a little oxygen, but it’s still hard to watch. Hope JDLR’s are doing OK.
Also have a friend who just gave birth to twin boys: 9lbs 5oz and 9lbs 4oz!!!!

Wow, that's a lot of baby-age...19 pounds

Mine are good kids
They’re very close, as you expect twins to be. But they can fight like any sibling. They’re 4 now, which is a great age. Having one of each (plus a 9 year old girl) has definitely been an interesting study of gender. Some of it is just innate – you can’t teach a boy to like trucks and a girl to like dolls – they naturally gravitate that way. The cool part is that my son will be playing tee-ball this spring. Can’t wait

Trying to get 12 tix for the 5/26 game against the DBacks – My sister and her husband are coming into town, and we wanted to take them to the “important” landmarks in Denver. Tix went on sale 15 mins ago, and the lines are already busy – Amazingly awesome (and frustrating :-/ )

That's a tough question, really
I’ve always really admired Francis as a pitcher, but if both perform relatively equally, and yet only one has dominating stuff without the history of shoulder problems….if I had to choose only one, I’d choose the guy with the stuff.
Again, that’s really only if all things are equal. In a perfect world, I’d love to keep both.

And if he does have that season, it makes us all the more likely to be a lot closer to the WS.

By the Mets
I think the league has presumed that they have learned the lesson on trying to sign high risk high reward lefties to market level deals that their best years warranted, and if DLR gets Type A by repeating post Hurdle numbers, it’s going to scare away a lot of clubs, leaving us wide open to give DLR a deal that involves a lot less risk on our side. Personally, if Friedrich’s ready to go in 2011, and Francis pitches well enough to warrant the Rockies to pick up that option, I would have absolutely no issue letting DLR go if he wants 3/30, but I highly doubt he’s going to get that.

Another thing to look at is what we have in the pipeline
Sure, giving him up for two comp picks and the tossing Friedrich into the rotation is probably a better value, long term, and perhaps the immediate performance dropoff wouldn’t be that much.
Ah, it’s just fun to speculate when the players are underneath the Arizona sun.

Very interesting Dodgers developments
From Bill Shaikin at the LA Times:
-Jamie McCourt is asking for just shy of $1million in monthly support until the divorce details are finalized.
- In 2008, the Dodgers reported a profit of $23 million and were just about broke even last year. The Dodgers intend to launch cable channels in English and Spanish in 2014, after the expiration of their contract with FSN, with annual profit projections of at least $150 million.
The Dodgers creating their own network could aid them substantially in recovering from any financial fallout from the McCourts.
