Spring Training Game #11: Todd Wellemeyer vs. Jorge De La Rosa

So today the Rockies play the Giants, a team I've been pretty much ignoring this Spring despite the fact that they finished just a couple of games behind us last year. Clearly I do so at my peril, as this is a team that has made several significant moves this winter. To recap:
- They recruited a new first baseman, Aubrey Huff, who was so liked by his former team that they felt Garrett Atkins would be an upgrade.
- They won a bidding war between themselves and Omar Minaya for the services of Bengie Molina.
- They signed 35 year old Mark DeRosa, the utility man beloved above all other utility men, as a starting corner outfielder. DeRosa was happy he wasn't the Giants "plan B". The team DeRosa came from, decided for some reason that Matt Holliday was a better fit as "Plan A" at that particular position.
- They re-signed Freddy Sanchez, who probably tore a ligament in the process, that will show up after he gets off the DL for whatever he's on the DL for in the meantime.
- They re-signed Juan Uribe, not so beloved utility man, as a utility man/interim starting second baseman.
- They signed Wellemeyer, another player who couldn't cut it with the Cardinals.
In looking at the moves the Dodgers and Giants have made this winter, I'll paraphrase Verbal Kent in saying that the greatest trick the Rockies ever played was in convincing the rest of the division that they don't exist. It's my assertion that Colorado is bumping the level of contention in the NL West over the next couple of seasons to a few games past 90 wins, but it seems that the Dodgers still feel that 88 to 90 wins is an acceptable plateau to aim for, and the Giants look to be aiming for five or so wins less than that.
Here is today's Rockies lineup, courtesy the Denver Post's All Things Rockies blog, Jason Giambi will be making his Cactus League debut:
CF Carlos Gonzalez
2B Clint Barmes
RF Seth Smith
SS Troy Tulowitzki
1B Jason Giambi
C Miguel Olivo
LF Melvin Mora
3B Ian Stewart
LHP Jorge De La Rosa

Go Rockies!
TULO = 2010 MVP!
Troy Tulowitzki: "When people think of the Rockies, I want them to think of a winning organization."
LETS GO WINGS!
That's a real Major League lineup
Except for Helton’s & Fowler’s absence, it’s close to what we’ll see during the season.
A convincing pounding of the Jints is entirely in order.
I don’t like Aubrey Huff.
New decade, new result: time for a Rockies' division championship.
Definitely. That lineup looks very potent.
And the best part is that’s the lineup we have with four of our five bench players starting.
Yeah. The first one so far that has all players that are projected to be on the roster, I believe.

But what will happen to Hector Gomez?

I think I will go buy some tacos from Santiagos for lunch
because we are going to shell the Gints
Iron Maiden? Excellent!
mmmm...Santiagos.....
I love thier green chili, the hotter the better.
What if the hokey pokey is what it is all about after all????
McC seems to be taken the MadBum velocity story
relatively well. I’d imagine we’d all freak out if CF suddenly developed an 86 MPH fastball.
Maybe today we'll get lucky and hear Friedrich pitch
I’m sure Tracy considered that we didn’t have audio and that’s why he didn’t send him out yesterday. Nice guy!
It was a good decision no matter the reason.
Every Rockies pitcher except Andrew Johnston and the two temps Moss and Birkins were cursed. Cook, Morales, Deduno get shelled, Gobble gets hurt. I don’t want to think about Friederich in that pattern.

he's not there this year so probably March 2011

He was added to their 40 man roster.
Matzek was not, and was not invited to camp.

Not exactly the Yanks or Phils, is it?
But then again, we didn’t fare too well against the Royals the other day,
so I’ll avoid jumping to conclusions based on the lineup alone.
Nonethless, this group should be pounded.

For those who don’t know, Mr. Rosen is a talk-show host on the Rockies flagship station, KOA. EVERY opening day he goes off on a rant about mustard being the only acceptable condiment for dogs, and viciously attacks anyone who tries to make a ketchup argument.

I think I am still in the minority as far as not being to impressed by Ian Stewart
All the tools are there, but he just has not brought them all together. He has to do it this year.
What if the hokey pokey is what it is all about after all????
with a history of errors in the minors.
Don’t really have time to go into it right now because I can’t go look at stats. I just think he is a little over rated right now. 2008 he lead the Rockies and Sky Sox in errors. I know he can get to more balls. But like Cal Ripken said, don’t make half of a great play.
What if the hokey pokey is what it is all about after all????
Range is definitely better than Atkins had.
But not better in the errors department.
I think that trading Atkins was good though – change of scenery will hopefully be good for him.
we didn't trade him

I agree with you on Atkins, it was time
I really hope I am wrong and Stewart has an all star season, or at least a very good one. I just fear I am not. This is his year to take establish himself as a long answer at 3rd. I hope he does it.

Depend on which half
If the half he does not make ends us sending the ball into the seats behind first base, then I would rather it role out to the left fielder and keep the runner at first.

ok disregard the stats
that stats don’t matter but we can look at form. just not from yesterday’s pitching.
What makes yesterday's performances more worthy of ignoring than today's?
Because they were by favored Rockies rather than Rincon/Corpas? I think people are going overboard on the dislike of those two, we really can’t tell much of anything on anybody with Cactus League results.
becuase everybody got hit hard yesterday
and it seemed generally fluky. Today, so far, only Corpas has been knocked around. JDLR did ok, not great, but ok. I sure hope Corpas figures it out. He’s been medicore-terrible so far compared to the rest of the staff.
He had a very good outing Sunday by most accounts I've read,
Most reports from the people that have seen him pitch the most have been encouraging. I really think people are projecting too much of their disappointment from last season onto everything he does.
It's not yet time to commit to dumping him into the Springs, especially in favor of somebody like Deduno.
The only player right now that I would consider replacing is Daley. That could change, but it’s the way it is for now.

gave up 2 runs, though the second was because of a Stewart error

It's looking like this game's not going to be done in time for me to get the game wrap up
before I have to leave to celebrate a friend’s birthday, so expect that to be posted later tonight.
sigh, the plight of fungible middle relievers is to never be appreciated...
Really, all we want from Flores or Rincon is mere adequacy, to be able to keep other more important arms from getting overworked.
I don't know if my dislike is really justified.
There’s just something about them that I just don’t like.
I can understand that...
I think there are probably a handful of players that will wind up in Colorado Springs that fall into that camp for me, but luckily none I foresee being part of the team this season. I do think I’m less optimistic about Matt Daley than most (except maybe WolfMarauder) and see him as more or less equivalent to Rincon/Speier and the rest of our middle relief group.
Probably part of it...
Is that the middle relievers are remembered for their failures moreso than their successes.
All things considered, so far Flores has done pretty ell this Spring.

Sadly no
I don’t get FSNRM (unless it’s on the extra innings package) and MLB network only seem to be showing ST games from Florida in RI

Nope always lived in New England
I just don’t like the big market teams with obnoxious fans.

You aren't in spirit though.
That’s what counts :)
Though the Phillies got a good club over there (I’m just an NL fan), and I like the Rays. But the Rays were more of an underdog.
that's frequently how it works out...
I wouldn’t worry that Andres Torres and Nate Schierholz will be hitting like this during the regular season. Buster Posey, well, that might be a different story.
But Molina is their cleanup hitter :-)

This game
went downhill fast :(
Ninety feet between home plate and first base may be the closest man has ever come to perfection. ~Red Smith
Right about when Corpas came in

On the roll call
I just checked the box, this is not good.

There are some positives though.
The DLR did pretty well. Some hitting going on, just not at the right times.
OK
All we need is nine runs this inning
