Tuesday Rockpile: Alex White to Debut Tonight
by Andrew T. Fisher on Aug 23, 2011 8:13 AM MDT

Email
Print3. The Rockies have won three consecutive games for the first time since July 27-30.
8.5. The Rockies are 8.5 games behind a playoff spot, the closest they have been since July 16, after this game. Forget your elementary math class. Neither of those numbers are larger than:
2. Two teams are at least 7.5 games out in front of the Rockies. While both teams are vulnerable (the Diamondbacks have lost six straight and half of the Giants roster is on the DL), that's still a ridiculously tall task, especially when Jim Tracy is "maximizing" the line-up by benching Seth Smith against a RHP.
The NL West is a crazy division, with the Padres and Rockies leading the NL in runs scored since the ASB, but considering those three wins came against two last place teams, let's just look at the immediate and long-term future and let the moderate future play out.
One of the biggest ingredients to the longterm future finally gets to be taken out of its dusty place in the cupboard, as Alex White will make his Rockies debut tonight against the Astros and Bud Norris at Coors Field. This comes 24 days after acquiring the right-handed starter.
Meanwhile, the Indians are beating their heads against the wall, fighting a chillingly familiar battle:
"What's wrong with Jimenez....? Both Antonetti and Acta insist that Jimenez is healthy, the manager saying the MRI taken during a pretrade physical "was squeaky clean." ...
Antonetti said: "His velocity is a little down from last year, but he's still ninth or 10th in the big leagues, ahead of CC."
I read those same statements word for word a dozen times in April and May. In the 24 days since the trade, Jimenez has allowed 21 runs in 21 innings. I am not rooting against Ubaldo Jimenez by any means, but I do not miss the "Is Ubaldo broken?" constant worry that lingered over this season. That has been partially whited out.
Alex White is one of the four pieces acquired for Jimenez and the first to arrive at Coors Field tonight, when he checks into his CarGo-adjacent locker and takes the field. White is riding a 15.1 scoreless inning streak in AA and appears confident. In fact, White claims not to be intimidated of Coors Field in the slightest:
"It's the same thing as pitching in a ballpark when the wind is blowing out," White said. "Nothing I can do about it, so I don't worry about it."
Well no, Alex, Coors Field isn't difficult just because of balls flying further, but that's the right attitude to take into Coors, so I'll take it.
Former Rockie Cory Sullivan profiles as front-office type | On the Rox — Colorado Rockies news — Denver Post He wore number 18 and embodied the same type of player the current uno-ocho does for the Rockies, but in the outfield. Now, as Troy Renck says, the Rockies' starting centerfielder during Rocktober07 has his eyes on a front office job.
Rockies' Tulowitzki sets mark for consecutive games without an error - The Denver Post Note: this is a personal mark, as he has now gone a career-high 47 straight error-less games. He leads the NL in fielding percentage, UZR, BRef's Total Zone, and is second to Alex Gonzalez in Dewan's Runs Saved (DRS). Pick any metric you want - Tulo isn't just a good defensive shortstop, he is elite.
Injured right-hander Juan Nicasio eager to pitch again for Colorado Rockies - The Denver Post Nicasio is in great spirits, is motivated, and has suffered no setbacks during day-to-day tasks. That's as good of news as we can hope for, but the real tests of his future will come in the Arizona Instructional League this fall and Spring Training in February.
Street, Lindstrom could rejoin Rockies Friday | ColoradoRockies.com: News Ryan Spilborghs has gone 6-for-12 with a double and 3 HR (including a 3-run walkoff shot last night) in his 3-day rehab stint in Colorado Springs. He could be up soon as well, though the Rockies may wait until September 1, when rosters expand.

I remember his amazing diving catch in the NLCS
that saved a couple of runs. Game 1 if i remember right with Corpas pitching. Wow…we made that run with Sully…even more impressive.

Fogg was throwing junk out there and even when he served one up he went unfazed. Whether he struck someone out or gave up a bomb, he was still spitting to his right and adjusting his cap. Became a fan of his during this ride.
Game two, with Hawkins pitching.

Great to hear that about Juan! Come onnnnn speedy recovery
And I have such a weird fan relationship with Tulo. I don’t like him personally as much as I like Todd and Cargo, so I find myself getting irrationally angry out of time he pulls a Barmes popout or doesn’t knock it out of the park. Then I look at his season batting and stats and I’m like… oh. Then I see those defensive stats and I’m like… as you were Tulo.

I always wanted to feel one. But I was good after that.
Weird that there have been earthquakes in CO and DC area, both places where I have family, yet none for me in California.

Waaaay late for this combo
But have to send a shout out to Big City peeps – definitly the best burrito joint i’ve ever been too, for basically two reasons:
1.) They season and fry their potatoes to perfection. Always crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside
2) They have really good onions.
Their tortillas and hot sauces are great, the meat isnt anything to write home about
La Luz is good for their weekend breakfast, their two for five weekday breakfast burritos (which aren’t fantastic, but they are cheap) and their fish burritos. Cafe Mexicali does smothered burritos, so a slightly different style, but they’re sauces are so good that a plain old bean and rice burrito are delicious.
Chipotle puts way to much rice in their burritos, and in general I don’t find them very flavorful.
Qdoba is only good if you want gobs of queso on your burrito.
Of course, I really wish Lupitas Tamales was still open. Not a burrito place per se, but for three bucks you could get a good lunch.

So sad that we didn't have this Seth Smith and this Todd Helton
and this Jason Giambi last year
~ Love is the most important thing in the world, but baseball is pretty good too ~
sorry I don't know if you know how this works
Todd Helton isn’t an All Star at age 38, he should be berated for that while other 38 year old players get the pass despite performing worse and getting paid large amounts (there’s gotta be one or two out there).
Jason Giambi once did Steroids, so you can’t acknowledge him as being a legitimate contributor.
They both play in Coors Field. If you look at the past 3 years, they have both hit exactly 1 single apiece on the road and have batted roughly .600/.750/.1000 at Coors Field.
The Rockies turn off the humidor when these two come up to the plate.
I’d really appreciate if you’d get with the program. The Rockies aren’t even really a team.

Sad that the Neyer piece didn't even touch on the injury
as if “he hasn’t hit 20 HR” didn’t have a context, I myself always viewed Todd as a Wade Boggs type more than a big bopper his HR were a pleasant side side benefit from one of the best/most disciplined gap power hitters I have ever seen.
~ Love is the most important thing in the world, but baseball is pretty good too ~
Exactly
He had those 3 seasons of “MONGO HIT HOME RUN”, which raised a lot of eyebrows, esp when we’re talking about a strong LD hitter.

why does everyone overlook the effect of adding 4 new pitching staffs
in COL, FLA, AZ, TB had on hitting in that era? Top tier pitchers had great performances against all the AAAA players that were suddenly in the lineups around the league in those years too. Top tier hitters, and top tier pitchers both feasted in that era. Sure there were a couple Brady Andersons and Brett Boones but for the most part great hitters hit better and great pitchers pitched better.
~ Love is the most important thing in the world, but baseball is pretty good too ~
Pitching was awful, steroid use was rampart, and Coors was humidor-less.
Out of those three factors, I say awful pitching played a larger role in the increases production across the league and at Coors than the other two. Combine terrible pitching with ’roids and you get the stupefying numbers from that era.
That is a long-winded way of saying I agree with you.

Fine, you asked for it.
How come when I live in the hell that is Iowa, that 6 (that’s 20% of the teams in MLB) are blacked out to my entire state? How the hell is it that the cereal capital of America (Cedar Rapids) is in the viewing market of the Twins (5 hours away), Cardinals (8 hours away), Brewers (6 hours away), and Royals (12 hours away)? I understand the Cubs and White Sox since half the people in this crap hole of a state are from Illinois. My satellite doesn’t get the channels that show the games for the 4 teams mentioned above, and I’m lucky if I get to see a White Sox game, and I’m not paying the extra ~$30 a month to subscribe to the extra channels in case my beloved Rockies are playing those teams.
Let me watch the games I am paying for!!!
Get well soon Juan.
Same thing right?
MLB is the least accessible sport to its fans. If you can’t afford to subscribe to cable, and live in the “home” territory of your favorite team, you are completely screwed. Why not create incentives for more local over-the-air broadcast of games, especially on weekends? Sigh…

The missing money has to be Howard’s. Ridiculous.
On a side note, here is the wording on Lee’s 2016 option for $27.5mil or a $12.5mil buyout:
option becomes guaranteed if Lee 1) is not on the disabled list at end of 2015 season with injury to left elbow or left shoulder, and 2) has 200 IP in 2015 or 400 IP in 2014-15

Based on current records, 87 wins seems like a reasonable number to be in contention for the division title.
That means that the Rockies can only lose 7 more games. A 26- 7 record has been accomplished before by this franchise, so there’s the teeniest-tiniest glimmer of hope. Now if the current Giant and D-back implosions continue, then this could get interesting if the Rockies can win at least 7 out of every 10 games moving forward.

there's an interesting caveat to this negotiation
somebody correct me if I’m wrong, but it’s it looks like if Wandy is just waived, then his ‘14 option remains a club option. That could make his contract much more reasonable for the Rockies. That means that we don’t have to offer anything, and we can just see if they are willing to clear him off their books for nothing.

he got White and Pomeranz for free and exchanged Ubaldo for Wandy, both of whom he sees as #2/#3 types. Only downside is the more expensive contract.

Wandy is good pitcher; he’s just not as good as his contract.

OK, two things:
A) My bet is the Astros pull Rodriguez back off of waivers. They’ll want something for him and there’s no way the Rockies will give up anything substantial.
That being said,
B) Anybody loudly protesting the Rockies taking this flier either has not realized that Aaron Cook, Kevin Millwood and Esmil Rogers are running out to the mound three out of every five days, or took an extra handful of the stupid pills this morning.

I think they'll let him go to avoid the rest of the contract
the GM is under strict orders to get payroll down into the 50-60mil range.
If Wandy is traded, the 2014 option automatically vests, and Colorado won’t do that.

apparently they are already pretty low
but clearing Wandy off the books for a rebuilding team is probably a smart idea anyway.

Interesting. From Buster Olney:
In Rockies’ internal discussions, fact that no FA will in COL came up. So they claimed Wandy, hoping he could be rotation stabilizer.
Can someone with access to babelfish translate this for me?
Particularly this part:
fact that no FA will in COL came up

insert the word "pitch" after FA and then read again

We won’t get a decent FA for that price in Colorado, and it keeps our young arms healthy.

Probably both.
FAs would possibly want more money to choose Colorado, and Colorado is going to be hesitant to shell out more money.
I guess I probably should have read this
before posting basically the same thing…
I think its the fact that
any pitcher with options will choose Option B over Colorado every time unless we materially overpay. And if a pitcher doesn’t have options, he’s probably not, like, very good and all.
This makes more sense.
I mean, who wants to pitch in Colorado (until we start winning consistently.)
Get well soon Juan.
I think this means that
Fat Ass Willin has not come up to Colorado yet. I’m not sure why that’s relevant here, or why BO would think Rosario is fat….
