Thursday Rockpile: Destiny no longer favors the Fogg
While some Rowbots were playing around with Russ's non-Rockies post yesterday, some Rockies vying for the fifth starter position faced off against minor leaguers. Lefthander Greg Smith looked sharp in his return from the flu in two innings. Patrick Saunders reports that Smith struck out four. The...

Angels 5, Rockies 3, continuing with a theme
Eventually, one would figure that the Rockies bats will break out of their February slumber, but another day of not scoring should drum up a few more woeful cries from the masses that put too much into these contests. In the meantime, I really don't have a lot to say. There was a rough first by...
Spring Training Game #3: Greg Smith vs. Sean O' Sullivan
Here's the Gameday link and it's also available via streaming audio (Angels announcers) through MLB.com. Franklin Morales served notice yesterday that he's here to compete for the fifth starter slot, today Smith will try and answer. The Rockies are still searching for their first Spring win, and...
Friday Rockpile: Hurdle on the hot seat; Fogg likely this weekend; Smith for Opening Day?
Tracy Ringolsby lists Clint Hurdle as one of five managers who will be looking over their shoulder as the season begins. Hurdle's tenure with the Rockies has included just one winning season in seven tries, and while a couple of his early years saw him guiding a team without competitive talent,...
Left-handed comebacks: How good will Francis, De La Rosa, Smith and Morales be?
So the direction my NL West preview posts have been taking me leads me to believe that a good part of the Rockies fate in 2009 lies largely in four left arms, namely those of starters Jeff Francis, Jorge De La Rosa, Greg Smith and Franklin Morales and how well they are able to fill three slots in...
Greg Smith in Colorado is a Recipe for Disaster
You’re the GM of the Rockies. You play in a very difficult environment for pitchers. Even with the humidor, offense runs (and hits) wild in Coors Field. It’s relatively easy to hit homers, the outfield is quite spacious, and breaking pitches don’t break as well, thanks to the...
Our Anonymous League-Best Pitching Staff
As I watched Dan Haren get flipped to the Diamondbacks last winter, and suffered through every rumor that had Rich Harden going one way and Joe Blanton another, I thought back to the basic Moneyball rules of moving toward inequality in markets, effectively buying low and selling high. As we...
A Wet Blanket
I'm shocked at the turn around here in Athletics Nation. How did I become the pessimist of the bunch? I mean, heck, people are even calling me out for it in the DLD. Believe me when I say this, no one is happier that the Oakland Athletics have started as strong as they have, pounding on good...
