Friday Morning Rockpile: A Pitcher More Deserving Than Zito

Remember that seven-year, $126M deal Scott Boras got for Barry Zito last off season? Yeah, that deal made Zito ridiculously overpaid. Well, Johan Santana asked the Twins for a similar deal. That's just . . . reasonable, even though he'd receive better offers once he hit the market next off season. But, hey, if teams not named the Rockies want to give out exorbitant contracts to pitchers not named Santana I'm all for it.

If you want to relive that four-game sweep that ended the Rockies season, you can purchase the DVD on Tuesday.

I wish
they would put out a dvd set of our run to the postseason.  Include highlights of the 14 out of 15 run, the NLDS, NLCS, and WS, and complete games of the Wild Card clincher, and the series winners against the Phils and the D'Backs.  MLBshop.com, are you listening?

Scott Boras isn't evil...
People need to realize that he represents a certain segment of baseball players who, after spending 7 years with the same club getting paid peanuts and arbitration dollars are ready for a big payday. He is working for the player to earn them as much money possible, so they will be set for life. He's doing what is best for the player and the player's family.

I love Matt Holliday, but it's time to prepare ourselves for his eventual departure. If he wanted to stay in Colorado and still earn good money he would have hired somebody else.

There's only one Rocktober!!
