OVERFLOW THREAD
So the good news is we are not facing Roy Oswalt, as Philly fans had hoped. The bad news is....well, you know. Jeff, we could use a reprise of your start in Miami.
Rockies fans remember Happ dominating the Rockies last year, and for good reason. But (hopefully) this is not the same guy. Even though he hasn't allowed an earned run this season, he hasn't pitched at the MLB level in over three months, and his walk rate was terrible in those two.
In three AA rehab starts, Happ had an 8.03 ERA, 1.78 WHIP and 6.03 FIP. His five AAA starts weren't much better, coming in at 4.84, 1.83, and 5.03.

As we heard earlier this weekend, bullpen help is still a priority for the Rox, and Kevin Gregg appears to be their top target.

My take on this
When considering possible trades, the asking price has to be considered. It is possible the FO has softened on dealing for any type of impact bat or starter due to the asking price. I’m not sure making bullpen help a priority is necessarily saying the FO views the pen as the most important place to upgrade, just the most sensible place to upgrade.

I don't think it is a flaw necessarily
You might not expect much from the pitcher at the plate, but it still affects the game. WPA is separated out into pitching only in the leaderboards and in individual games. I just add them together in game wraps

Dex.
I’ve been thinking about this and I’ve decided I don’t want him on the team anymore. He’s young, has value and should be traded.
I’m really not even interested in him working it out. Between Herrera, CarGo and EY2 there’s plenty of speed on the team. I’d rather see proven players like Smith (RF) and Spilly (LF) and Cargo (CF) play everyday.
This is (supposed to be) a contending ballclub. I’m exhausted watching the Rockies trying to “develop” players and pound square pegs into round holes in the majors.

by Andrew T. Fisher on Jul 25, 2010 1:07 PM MDT up reply actions
That's probably true.
But frankly, there are more options in the OF now than there were last year and they are above average options at that. I’ll take a Smith, Cargo, Spilly with EY2 back up all year long next year.
Fowler is just too in consistent and his switch-hitting makes him twice the project that CarGo was.
He’s still a good player and I’m sure he could be a big piece in a trade. The Rockies will actually have to give talent up contrary to the “Hawpe for Harren” fantasies that I hear/read from noob baseball fans. So why not Fowler?

It would be selling a bit low for one
And actually, we had the same options in the OF last year as this year. Hawpe and Fowler were entrenched as full time starters. Then there’s Smith and Spilborghs

When did he come back from the DL????
Weeks ago. Again, his average had dropped 60 points since then (he was hitting .318 at the time). Combined with his ever-worsening defense, I wouldn’t be surprised if was just eventually released. Not like teams are going to trade for someone they know are going to hit the open market.

He won't be released
His contract expires after this season. And teams trade for players in the last 2-3 months of their contracts all the time. Hawpe has even been included in rumors as early as this morning

Real rumors?
Or pretend fan/fantasy GM rumors? Either way, the time to trade him was during the off-season. His value has declined probably by a third. Other than some second-rate reliever, I’d be stunned if the player returned was even major league ready.

Came from Troy Renck
His value has definitely decreased a great deal. But for a team wanting to compete for a division title, trading him would have meant Fowler was the most experienced long term starter in the outfield. There’s not much of a safety net there

Agreed.
The patience the Rockies show their veteran players is maddening. RE: Chacin in the minors, he with the THIRD MOST WINS!!!!, while Cook continues to be a 3 and 1/3 innings pitcher every time he goes out. That’s not patience or loyalty. Its madness.

Well, I misspoke.
But Cook, clearly has issues with the 4th and 5th inning. He’s not just dealing with traffic, he’s getting shelled. Again, glad he got the win. But he was pitching at home in a stadium where he’s consistently had success for most of his career. Again, the exception, not the rule.

The difference there
is that if Cook does it, the organization seems to see it as “See, we knew Cookie would be back!” while if one of the kids does it the reaction is more “But they’re not ready to do it every time out”.

Should we make an extra thread to discuss Rockies All-Access?
by Andrew Martin on Jul 25, 2010 2:15 PM MDT up reply actions
Back in 2008, there was a Rockies All-Access show called "Road to the Show".
That was neat looking back at Casper, Asheville, Modesto, Tulsa and Colorado Springs, and life in the minors. In that show, it had Wilin Rosario just starting at Casper, now he’s at Tulsa. Mike McKenry was also focused at Single-A Modesto, now he’s with the Sky Sox. And also it looked at when Eric Young, Jr. and Dexter Fowler were at Tulsa, looking for that major league opportunity.
Yeah, Rockies All-Access
was better back then.
Seriously, that sounds like a great show. I’d love to see the Rockies make a minor league roundup show a regular part of the FSN gameday lineup, like All-Access and Double Play.
Bazinga!
by Junction Rox on Jul 25, 2010 2:27 PM MDT up reply actions
I think it would be neat to have a minor league report recapping the night before during the pregame.
And with the technology today with Gameday, FSNRM and KOA can easily update everyone in the postgame with scores of the Sky Sox, Drillers, Nuts, Tourists, Dust Devils, and Ghosts. In my travels in the midwest, I’ve noticed in radio broadcasts, where the Royals announce the scores of all their minor-league teams during the postgame report. Heck, even in Philadelphia, in the out-of-town scoreboard down the right field line, the Phillies supply out-of-town scores on their minor league teams playing that night in progress.
I'd go even farther
and make it a full 30 minute daily show, or expand the pre-game. I know it would probably be expensive and not much in it for FSN. But for the Rockies it would be a good way to get people interested in the future Rockies, and it could be really good marketing for the Sky Sox when they’re going well.

The local markets would get to see the game to conclusion, if it goes that late.
As for the MLB package on DirecTV, I’m not sure, but they should. I would think so if a game that goes 20+ innings and runs into the ESPN window, that game would stay available until the game’s conclusion.
Hopefully not all the same age as Mora's

Mora's was exactly "accidental". They were undergoing fertility treatments
So the chances of multiple births goes up exponentially..

Who do you think will be in the 2011 Hall of Fame class?
Some of the first year inductees include Jeff Bagwell, Rafael Palmeiro, John Olerud, Larry Walker, Juan Gonzalez, Tino Martinez, and John Franco.
Bagwell could be a first ballot HoFer
I’m not sure any of the rest get in on the first ballot

You think Bags has the numbers?

It contends that Bagwell was above HoF level for most of his career and the best of the bunch listed above.

didn't mean to imply that he wasn't HOF but rather will he make it the first year? He'll definitely get in.

Oh well
It’s really tough to be a first ballot. You kind of have to be Albert Pujols to do that, even if it’s obvious the guy should get in. He COULD be a 1st ballot, though I doubt it

The short, swift end to his career will hurt him
As will his difficulty getting into the ASG. But if you look at the full body of work, he ought to be in there. I’m not positive he’d be a 1st ballot, probably wouldn’t be, but I wouldn’t be upset if he were.

He was in the Mitchell report, but it's pure speculation with him.
Injuries killed his career though—which is something I would moreso associate with a clean player

Palmeiro would have the numbers, if hadn't pointed at Congress, then flunk a drug test six months later.
Bagwell probably has the best chance of the first-year inductees. Bert Blyleven and Roberto Alomar will likely be going in, falling just short this year.

It'll be interesting to see as we are starting to see the PED era guys show up.

I'm really starting to hate the Padres....
their ridiculously easy schedule, that terrible line-up that mostly hits in the low .200s, and somehow they keep winning games and I’m starting to feel like they will never drop off like they should.
