Thursday Rockpile: Welcome to Pomerica

PrintAaron Cook possibly had his best start of the season last night, a start that as the link explains, could have ramifications on the player's future with Colorado, but it seems this morning that all of the Rockies focus last night, and a large part of the focus of Rockies fans was a bit southeast from there. Namely Tulsa, where as you've read in the Pebble Report by now (if you weren't already aware) Drew Pomeranz dominated the Midland Rockhounds to make a rather impressive opening statement about where he views his own future with the Rockies organization.
With Rockies brass Dan O'Dowd and Bill Geivett in attendance, as well as a media contingent from the Denver Post, Pomeranz didn't shrink under the spotlight and instead pitched perfectly through six innings, and finished solidly in the seventh. To the Tulsa World he added:
"I wanted to be efficient and their batters were aggressive at the plate. I stayed good in the counts and I think that's the best pace I've had all year."
So the kid made good and the Rockies now have a decision to make about how soon they want to promote him. As O'Dowd explained to the Post in the second link in the first paragraph, the Rockies aren't going to rush Pomeranz for public relations, but starts last like night show he might not have much more to gain from staying in the minors.
Meanwhile, there are a couple more Rockies links and one more Drillers link to go through this morning:
- Rockies' Jason Giambi flexes his hitting muscles at age 40 - The Denver Post - The Rockies two headed but all left handed first base duo of Helton and Giambi is proving quite potent in 2011.
- At last, Rockies prevail in a series finale - The Denver Post - Snapping a seven game losing streak in series finales at Coors Field. Jim Armstrong also has notes about Carlos Gonzalez and Florida's home/road records.
- After Freak Accident, Colorado Rockies' Juan Nicasio Feels Lucky to be Alive | Fox News Latino - The Associated Press story on Nicasio again highlights how fortunate he is.
- Former Bishop Montgomery baseball standout Zuanich climbing ladder toward majors - The Daily Breeze - Mike Zuanich's climb through the system has been under the radar, but he's doing what he has to and seems to have the resolve to see the majors at some point.

Haha..I KNOW what North American means
I’m just wondering what that has to do with anything. Like why bother to mention it.
Although Mark Mcguire probably thought he was North American, as well as Bobby Bonds and every other player of the “Steroid Era”

Yes I understand that as well
I guess my point is that HGH has probably been used along the way as well.
I dunno. Again not sure what the point of mentioning him being North American has to do with anything.

Since he is not the first athlete to be tested positive for an HGH test.
And up until now, I still thought HGH was undetectable.
Get well soon Juan.
it's still undetectable in urine
so they have to take blood tests, which the MLBPA hasn’t consented to yet. you also have to catch it 1-2 days after it’s been injected.

"The shocking thing is that it's a north American athlete"
“Previously, it’s been obvious that upstanding, white American boys would never stoop as low as the shifty brown fellows from across the Gulf of Mexico”
I admit this is a fairly extreme reading of it, but it was the first thing my cynical mind thought of.
That's an incredibly extreme and cynical reading of it
The fact that people will jump to that just has me weeping for society.

Whereas your reading was, IMHO, way too generous
The fact that it was even mentioned is an indiciation that someone wants to impart a racial angle, and that racial angle was essentially “lots of hispanics have done it”.
But I agree my reading – which as I said was just a kneejerk reaction and not one I take too seriously – is unnecessarily cynical in this case. But that in itself doesn’t diminish the instituionalised racism that is still endemic in white western thought. But that’s a whole nother ball game :)
This. Exactly.

I would have just assumed USA and Canada, with Mexico featuring in Central America
But that’s just me, you guys may use it differently.
(also, considering the huge sociological differences between the USA/Canada and Mexico I don’t thnik it’s helpful to lump them togeher in any case)
Not really, though.
I mean sure, same continental landmass (maybe?) but practically, there’s little benefit in claiming any kind of sociological oneness.

The Martians have been resting on their antigrav laurels for so long that they’re incapable of making adjustments and working to improve their game.
See, most Earthians grew up feeding beasts of labor/animals cultivated for food products. Martians have that fancy replication technology. Don’t know what it is to work for their sustenance.

There have been rumors of all kinds PED, and other nefarious things that supposedly was done far more in the Latin American countries than anywhere else. So that was how it came across to me. I can’t explain it more than that. It’s not only about the white athlete.

I guess when I say cultural,
I mean more sports cultural. I had never heard of HGH until it became a big deal in cycling. Same with blood doping. Cycling is not nearly as big here as other parts of the world. I don’t hear about steroids in cycling at all. So if HGH is more prevalent in sports that aren’t as big here as they are elsewhere, it makes sense that it hasn’t hit our shores yet necessarily.

ah, he did, but he came out with it
Paul Byrd, whose victory in Game 4 of the AL Championship Series put the Cleveland Indians on the doorstep of the World Series, has acknowledged taking human growth hormone under a doctor’s care.
The 36-year-old right-hander said he took the drug for a medical condition but claimed he never injected it without a doctor’s prescription. In an interview with foxsports.com, in spring training Byrd said the medical condition was a tumor on his pituitary gland.
“I have not taken any hormone apart from a doctor’s care and supervision,” Byrd said. "The Indians, my coaches and MLB have known that I have had a pituitary gland issue for some time and have assisted me in getting blood tests in different states. I am currently working with an endocrinologist and will have another MRI on my head after the season to make sure that the tumor hasn’t grown.

I'm all for getting a veteran arm
Just not one that pitches more in extended spring training and Tulsa than he does in Denver. The Rockies have p—— around for two full seasons because they already owed Cook a lot of money, and he’s really just the greatest guy in the world, and if he can just find the sinker again he’ll be deadly – yada yada yada.
It’s going to take more than one good start in a row to get me to want to go down that road again, even if it’s $2-$3 mil instead of $10 mil. How about trying to actually upgrade the rotation, instead of wishing and hoping?
by Northsider1964 on Aug 18, 2011 10:32 AM MDT up reply actions
I'd be all for this,
if it were at all realistic. To legitimately upgrade the rotation, you gotta spend. And the guys that are desireable ain’t coming to Coors if they have any other options at the same money. So overpay? Unlikely. Trade, develop, or “wish and hope” on Marquis style longshots. I think we played are legit trade card. So its prospects or retreads.
Sorry, I know you don't intend it this way
But when I listen to these arguments for bringing Cook back, all I hear is, “If we’re gonna be stuck in 3rd or 4th place and burn up our bullpen by the Fourth of July, it might as well be with guys we all like.”
If I see more than one quality start in a row from him, maybe I’ll soften up a bit.
by Northsider1964 on Aug 18, 2011 10:58 AM MDT up reply actions
it does seem like he has pitched well and we're all like "does cook have a future here afterall"
and then he follows it up with a terrible performance, rinse and repeat. looking at his game log it appears that way for his last 5 performances
if i was a betting man, i would put money that cook blows up in his next start.
by purplesocks on Aug 18, 2011 11:12 AM MDT up reply actions
Here's a final thought...
Maybe the Marlins will have an equal and opposite reaction to last night’s game, and we can pick up Ricky Nolasco off waivers?
by Northsider1964 on Aug 18, 2011 11:25 AM MDT up reply actions
That's not really my intent
though certainly a fair undercurrent here. I know you and many are sick of the back-slapping in the clubhouse, but I don’t think its likely to end under this regime. But to me, I just am trying to be pragmatic. If there is a real upgrade out there I’m all for it. But if we’re looking for innings-eaters instead of upgrades (which I think is the case here) Cook is legitimately as likely to be good as whoever else is out there. I mean, guys like John Garland cost LA $5m, and we’re never going to get anything close to his value for that price given the home field.
I’m just trying to be realistic. The “get off my team” mentality is all fine and dandy but its not entirely productive. And while the good-buddy clubhouse network we’ve got may not be very productive, its not exactly an improvement to dump Cook for some other retread with similar ability at twice the price.
(All my takes here are subject to the caveat that I really would like an aggressive approach to FA this offseason to salvage some interest in 2012 as a competitive year. But I’ll believe it when I see it).
That's where I figured you were coming from
I’m just to the point at which I would rather see Cook get a good offer to go elsewhere, and take the decision out of the Rockies’ hands.

I think it makes sense to bring Cook back
on a 1 year, 2-3MMish sort of deal with incentives and a team option. The fact is, if we don’t sign him, we’re going to have to sign someone exactly like him. As noted above here, it seems to me that only Chacin, White and Hammell are surefire locks for the rotation. Pomeranz is optimistic but possible, and if all goes well will happen (but counting on a true rook to give a ton of innings isn’t a great plan). That’s four, with two big question marks already. I don’t think Nicasio should even enter the planning, if the man makes it back at all its a blessing, expecting him to carry a heavy load in 2012 is irresponsible. DLR should not be expected to help until summertime, and will also need some leeway on recover. We’ll desperately need innings-eaters. If Cook passes a postseason physical, he and Millwood I think are likely to be retained on short term deals and will battle it out with Rogers and some other Millwoodish-type longshots for the last few spots.
Far, far, far from an imposing rotation to start the year, no matter how you slice it.
That's why I was high on having the Rox persue getting Moseley as well as Headley from the Padres.

after this season, I don't think he'd be cheap
I mean, cheap-ER, but some team was going to pony up a premium.
You just know there’s some horrifically insecure GM out there who’d been wanting to sign Francouer forever, but never did because he was afraid of getting destroyed by analysts. But now that Francouer is having a good season, this particular GM would be frothing at the mouth to land Frenchie now that it’s “OK” to think he’s a good player again.

To be honest, the first time I ever noticed them was Opening Day this year

Yeah; he's by definition an innings eater.
That doesn’t discount his abilities on the road and the Mets have been working with him on keeping the ball down more. Pluse he’s the only lefty brought to the discussion with MLB experience. He’s at that phase he knows he has to reinvent himself after his injuries and at his age. Sounds like a good project for Dac to me.

Perhaps just my perception.
But it sounds like Tulsa is playing with fire behind them. If I don’t think the Rocks can play well enough to go on a epic tear to get there…Can I hope for Tulsa to get Pom and Friedrich tearing it up for a bit to get in the playoffs?
If Pomeranz tears it up too much,
he won’t be in Tulsa.

White will be called up soon because he has already played in the bigs this year..
but Pom hasn’t made it to the Majors yet. So the FO will probably save his options for a Sept callup.
this makes all kinds of sense

No, but he could still be sent down..
and when rosters expand in Sept there is less risk of using a spot without losing the value of that spot. Pom looked great yesterday, but that doesn’t mean he’ll pitch great in the Majors.
considering his easy going in AA so far
it’s worth an audition
Some days, I feel like I’ve accidentally entered the Church of Tulowitzki on Baseball Easter.

Is it really worth two weeks though?
If he’s that valuable then waiting two starts in Tulsa isn’t that much to be patient for.
they'll wait until September
but I definitely think Pomeranz forces the club’s hand and sees the majors this season

Oh without a doubt..
the only question now is whether he will start game 2 or game 3 of the 2012 season.
Did I say Pom was getting called up in August?
Nope. But he might get called up, which was by no means certain. White will be up next week at Coors or in LA.

He’s daring the Rockies do make him a Sept callup. I was really surprised that Casper was no-hit. They had a nice starting lineup today. Dillon Thomas, Herrera and Story were all in the lineup.
A Advanced is still a long way from the majors
maybe a callup next year, but not this season

It would be a first for the organization..

So I decided to check Wilin Rosario's stats since Alex White joined the team

.324/.324/.545 since White joined the team. Rosario had been ice cold immediately beforehand.
