Jeff Francis to Throw Simulated Game Tomorrow

Just as it seemed news couldn't get worse regarding injuries and starting pitchers, Rockies fans have been dealt a glimmer of hope. Jeff Francis will throw a simulated game tomorrow. If all goes well, he will get the go-ahead to start a minor league rehab assignment, possibly as soon as Tuesday in Tulsa.
