Welcome to the first 2012 edition of Purple Row Radio! Be especially sure to welcome Paul Agnello, aka "Resolution", to the podcast as our official third co-host.

On this edition, Andrew, Paul and I discuss the following topics and more:
- Andrew has a lot to say about Juan Pierre.
- Catching up on the 2011/12 offseason.
- The Jeremy Guthrie trade.
- What is to come for pitchers like Esmil Rogers and Josh Roenicke, who are on the bubble, plus how the Rockies may try to stash rotations candidates in the bullpen instead of the minors.
- The recent accusations towards Jhoulys Chacin, and similar stories from the past.

Welcome back to Purple Row Radio! On this edition, Andrew and I are once again joined by Paul Agnello (Resolution) to catch up on the offseason so far.

- What do we think of the Chris Iannetta/Tyler Chatwood trade?
- Where does Chatwood fit into an already complicated array of young pitching depth?
- The Ty Wigginton trade.
- Looking ahead to the Winter Meetings.
- What is up with all of these multiyear deals?
- Which, if any, of Huston Street, Ian Stewart and Seth Smith will still be Rockies at the end of the week?

We recorded this podcast last night, before Kevin Slowey was signed, so nothing on that for now.

Welcome back to this special edition of Purple Row Radio, celebrating the merciful end to the Rockies 2011 season.

On this edition, Andrew and I discuss the following topics and more:
- Why this season ranks for us amongst the worst in Rockies history, even if the final record doesn't reflect it.
- How does the late-September collapse of 2011 mirror 2010's, and how do they differ?
- Why does Andrew think Jim Tracy's choices regarding the playing time of certain players is one of the most significant 2011 issues that was actually avoidable?
- Why does Greg want to purge this season from everyone's mind (the fans as well as the team) and ensure everyone moves on as quickly as possible?
- The surprising downfall of Ubaldo Jimenez.
- Why the Rockies should be pleased with the seasons of Troy Tulowitzki, Carlos Gonzalez and Todd Helton.

We'll be back sometime after the divisional series for a postseason show.

This podcast gets harder and harder to produce with regularity. We're still not sure if an episode will happen next week. If something big happens, probably. If not, then doubtful.

Regardless, here's a two part podcast once again for the time being. A day late (contrary to what I say in the show, they are clearly still having upload issues).

On this edition, Andrew and I discuss the following topics and more:
- Las Vegas.
- Why Andrew likes Jason Giambi even though his roster spot still doesn't make a ton of sense.
- The signings of Kevin Millwood and J.C. Romero.
- How do Millwood and Romero compare to previous Rockies late season signings?
- The signing of Tyler Anderson.
- How is Anderson's presumed position in the organization different now compared to when he was drafted? Hint: Jimenez trade.
- The quick healing of Juan Nicasio, something to be glad about during this time of a rotten season.

On this edition, Andrew and I discuss the following topics and more:
- Our impressions of certain September callups.
- What were Andrew's impressions of Drew Pomeranz' start?
- What are the chances Pomeranz will make the team straight out of Spring Training 2012? What factors work for or against this?
- What will be Jordan Pacheco's role with the Rockies going forward?
- Why is Wilin Rosario's 2012 fate still so unclear?

Uploading issues continue, but we're back again. Until this issue is resolved, expect episodes to be posted sometime on Tuesdays. Once again, this episode is in two parts. They can be listened to back to back.

On this edition, Zombie Andrew and I discuss the following topics and more:
- The Denver Museum of Nature and Science.
- The trade deadline around the NL West, including discussion on Carlos Beltran, Brad Ziegler, and confusion about Trayvon Robinson.
- The Ubaldo Jimenez trade.
- What other contributions Jimenez made to the organization beyond actual game performance, including a radical change on the perception of pitchers in Coors Field.
- We break down the four new Rockies players (or three, until Drew Pomeranz can be traded in two weeks).
- Why do the two of us find it foolish that the organization wants to immediately convert Joe Gardner into a reliever?
- More on the roster crunch: who is at risk to be traded post-deadline, or let go in the offseason?
