Colorado Rockies

Major Trade Deadline Trade!

The Colorado Rockies and Los Angeles Dodgers completed a huge deal late last night and just hours before the 2014 non-waiver trade deadline that has the MLDSB world rockin’! It had been believed that the Rockies had finished wheeling and dealing after acquiring young SP Jameson Taillon from the Pittsburgh Pirates just the day before but apparently the Rockies had one more player they had put on their radar to help boost the team’s chances to compete for a wildcard and maybe even the NL West title and that player was SP Zack Greinke. Greinke had been acquired last season in a trade that sent Troy Tulowitzki to the Dodgers but quickly the teams backed out of the trade.

The Dodgers have been looking to put a potent bat and glove at the hot corner all season and with Nick Punto not doing...

Rockies Get Their Man!

The Colorado Rockies have been busy all season totally revamping their club after a very disappointing start to the 2014 campaign in which the team and fans expected to compete for the NL West title after winning the 2nd wildcard spot last season. After #1 starter Kris Medlen went down in the first inning of the first spring training game, it was clear that the current team composition was not going to make the team a contender. At one point in May, the team found itself holding up the entire league at the bottom of the power rankings, holding the #30 ranking. GM Stamey had had enough and decided to clean house and bring in players that wanted to play...

Major Trade: Tulowitzki for Fielder

Tuesday, November 26th, 2013
In a deal that has turned the baseball world on its ear, the Rockies have traded 30-year-old reliever Burke Badenhop, 29-year-old shortstop Troy Tulowitzki and 25-year-old minor league center fielder Brett Jackson to the Tigers for 29-year-old first baseman Prince Fielder. None of the players could immediately be reached for comment. Fans in Colorado and Detroit couldn’t believe it. However, baseball analysts at BNN all agreed that this was a good deal for both ball clubs.

During his career Tulowitzki has hit .290 with 969 hits, 160 home runs, 561 RBIs and scored 559 runs.

In 1322 career games, Fielder has put up a .290 average, collected 266 doubles, 10 triples, and 299 home runs, driven in 863 runs, and scored 775 times.

Wildcard Teams Advance!

In two very exciting, low-scoring games, the Washington Nationals and the Chicago White Sox won their wildcard series games and move on to the divisional series with game 1 slated to be played on Friday night.

The Nationals sent 20 game winner Stephen Strasburg to the mound while the Rockies sent 19 game winner Kris Medlen who was acquired from the Atlanta Braves prior to the 2013 trade deadline. Strasburg was amazing as expected, giving up just one run while Medlen was strong as well but giving up 3 runs in his 7 innings of work. 3B Ryan Zimmerman lead off the scoring for the Nationals in the bottom of the 2nd with a solo home run...

Rockies Clean Out Coaching Staff

With the Rockies beginning to fade in the NL West pennant race, falling back 4 games behind the Los Angeles Dodgers, Colorado owner Charlie Monfort and GM Dan Stamey met with manager Walt Weiss today. After the meeting, Stamey addressed the media to announce that major changes had been made in the Rockies front office. Bench coach Tom Runnels was released while current manager Walt Weiss was demoted to bench coach. The big surprise was the announcement that Lou Piniella has been signed to a 3 year deal to manage the Rockies starting with tomorrow’s game which is the start of a key 3 game series that could go a long ways in determining if the Rockies can get back into the pennant race or not.

There were a couple of other coaching changes made as both the pitching coach and hitting co...
