The Colorado Rockies addressed a concern in their starting rotation by completing a trade with the Oakland A’s that will bring 24 year old SP Dan Straily to the club in exchange for big time prospect SS Trevor Story.  Straily saw limited time in the majors last season with just 7 starts in which he went 2-1 with 3.89 era.  Straily will boost the back end of the rotation forcing MR Adam Ottavino to AAA and SP Jeff Francis to the bullpen.  With the acquisition of Straily, the Rockies starting rotation will look as follows:

#1) Jorge De La Rosa (L)

#2) Jhoulys Chacin (R)

#3) Jon Garland (R)

#4) Juan Nicasio (R)

#5) Dan Straily (R)

In a mid-afternoon press conference, Tomlinson was trotted out to answer a flurry of questions from the startled media. Asked if he could handle the job, Tomlinson responded testily, “That’s why they hired me. I know the team has issues, but look around the Major League Daily Sim Baseball League and show me a team that doesn’t.”
