Troy Tulowitzki to the DL

PrintAccording to Tracy Ringolsby, Troy Tulowitzki has indeed broken his wrist and will be sent to the DL.
SS Chris Nelson is being called up from AAA Colorado Springs to take his roster spot.
So far this season, Tulo has posted a .306/.375/.502 line with 9HR, 34RBI. Tulo's .386 wOBA was 3rd best on the team, and his 2.3 WAR ranked 2nd.
Word is that Clint Barmes will slide to SS. I'd like to see Nelson take some reps there as well.
Ringolsby reports Tulowitzki will be out 6-8 weeks.
Troy Renck follows up to tell us that Tulowitzki's hamate bone has been broken, and that the DL stint may only be 4-6 weeks.
He also brings one big line from GM Dan O'Dowd:
O'Dowd admitted he will be looking at possible trades while Tulowitzki is out, to add infield depth.

I'm GOING to tonight's game.
Just gonna cheer for a victory and hope Chris Nelson has an awesome debut.
I find it really difficult to be depressed at Coors Field.
I'm pretty sure our season's over
I mean, sure we can make up 4 games. But we ain’t gonna make up 4 games without Tulo.
Enjoy the scenery at Coors (I plan to), but postseason plans will be an exercise in futility now.

LOL Postseason
.500 would be a near miracle now.

Dude
If there’s one inalienable truth about the Rockies it….“as goes Tulo, so go the Rockies”.
I’d love to be proven wrong this time, but there’s a damn near 100% correlation between Tulo playing well and the Rockies doing well.
I’m still going to attend a bunch of games this year. My fandom never wavers. I’ll still watch nearly every game on TV.
But I am also a realist. I’ll be interested in who we can reasonably pick up in a trade, and it doesn’t have to be an infield bat, it just has to be a real bat, because we’re sorely missing those now….and one of the only ones we had just went on the shelf.
If we can get through this weekend better than 1-2, then I’ll begin to hope. I just don’t think even treading water for four weeks will work, because LA, SD, and SF can’t all be .500 teams for the next 4-6 weeks.

But that was before he started switching.
I think at this point in his career, it’s either keep the switch-hitting, or drop it permanently. I just don’t see any way they drop it for now and then try to bring it back. That just doesn’t make sense to me.
drop it. Let the guy hit RH.

by The Lodo Magic Man on Jun 18, 2010 4:39 PM MDT up reply actions
Clearly the team still isn't at the point where they are ready to give up.
They still think he can maximize results/potential by being a switch hitter. Maybe they’ll get to the point where they change their mind, but think they’ve decided to give it a bit of time.
I frankly don’t have a problem with it at this point. We may not have a leadoff hitter at the moment, but outfield overall is not our problem right now.
well
it opens the door for chris nelson to take back his shortstop of the future title. dammit hopefully we tread water long enough to stick in the race while he’s gone
Popcorn chicken...with club sauce...
Chris Nelson comes up
Replaces Barmes at 2nd – starts playing really well – does this mean Barmes would lose his job when Tulo comes back?

Nelson's MLE, by the way

And actually
the quick MLE link on Minor League Splits just spits out a “neutral” park effect for the MLB team. The actual MLE line, translated from Colorado Springs to Colorado, is .266/.328/.414.

EY2 is like a nice gadget thats cool to have and show off to your buddies, but when your by yourself you really don’t use it that often and it just takes up space.

It's not a panic move....
when Tulo comes back, if barmes isn’t hitting, you’ve got yourself a new and improved starting second baseman. If Barmes does come around, you’ve got a 2B to use as a chip before the trade deadline.
Win-win….
Anyway, I'm in "win now" mode
I’ve spent 17 years as a Rockies fan thinking “we have to keep our young players to win in the future mode”.
Screw that. With this pitching staff, I want to win NOW. Time to be bold — I’m not at all prepared to piss away another season.
I'd trade Rogers for Johnson.
Seriously.

Not only might not Rogers be enough (which I know you are admitting)
the D-backs also might ask for a lot more from the Rockies than they would other teams. Though I suppose maybe it doesn’t matter if it’s only a rental for this season, since they’re assuming they’re out of it, anyway.
Absolutely.
My position the entire time is that I don’t know, and therefore will not speculate, what would be considered enough for Johnson, but would be willing to trade Rogers for him.

I mean wrist injuries in general, not specifically Tulo's
by Greg Stanwood on Jun 18, 2010 4:21 PM MDT up reply actions
Its a lot different for pro athletes
Tulo will be put on a bone stimulator next week that rapidly accellerates the healing process. With proper monitoring and evaluations Tulo will be ready to resume baseball activities much quicker than the everyday Joe.
Plus, I am sure there is a lot Tulo can do conditioning wise to keep in shape and keep his legs strong – remember he was a bit tender on that not too long ago – this gives him a chance to be able to defend full tilt once back.
Finally, I am sure he will be given a wrist guard when he comes back. If it is fitted well and causes him no discomfort, this can help him feel ready to contribute in all parts of the game very quickly after he is cleared to begin playing.
This all means his rehab time likely won’t be a long time and more dependant on how quickly he regains his swing and timing at the minor league levels.

is apparently going to be brought up as a backup at short. I don’t want him to come up and “rot” I want to see the 2004 #1 Draft Pick play gosh darn it.

Also at the link regarding JDLR:

I think this is exactly what it is.
I don’t think they’re saying, “Herrera is the starter for as long as Tulo as gone” but they’re also not saying, “Nelson is immediately the starter.” I suspect Nelson will get a start or two relatively soon, and depending on how it goes, he could take over.
Depending on how Herrera does today, and if Chris Nelson gets into the game in any situation, I'd like to see Nelson get at least one start this series.
Heck, even if you’re unbcomfortable with him at 2B right now, get him in at SS and put Barmy back on 2B

My guarantee of a Rockies NL West title in 2010 still stands...
in fact, we’ve still got an excellent pitching staff (better when JDLR and Street return) and an underacheiving offensive unit that I believe will play up to their talent level in the next few weeks.
Does this hurt? Yes. But is it a horrific blow? Not hardly.
