The Rockies have a lot of reasons to gain attention from the masses - you know, having two of the best young stars in the game in Troy Tulowitzki and Carlos Gonzalez, calling a top 5 ballpark in baseball their home, and having a strong farm system that several experts admittedly underrate. There are really only a couple reasons why they don't get it on a regular basis: not playing in New York/Boston/Philly/Chicago/Los Angeles, and the fact that they've missed the playoffs the last couple of years. This offseason, the Rox added another huge attention gainer - not Albert Pujols or Prince Fielder, obviously, but a guy who was drafted when the former was a toddler and the latter was a newborn. And, with a somewhat-unreasonably high level of excitement surrounding him, he'll make his debut for the Rockies tonight. There is news-o'-plenty regarding Jamie Moyer's start in Houston against the Astros. I'll help feed the fire with some links:

Look at some of these names - including one of my childhood heroes, John Stockton. Amazing.

Carlos Gonzalez, who got jammed every time he was at the plate last night, prefers a quiet start to a season. You know what you're going to get from CarGo, as long as he's healthy. There's also a bunch of other good reads in this piece by Thomas Harding, including blurbs on Chris Nelson, Jason Giambi, and notes from last night's victory.
