Aguilera was a non-drafted free agent out of San Jose State. Rincon struggled in 2009, but apparently the Rockies saw enough in him to merit keeping him around. http://www.baseballamerica.com/blog/prospects/?p=7437

Harvey has a career minor league batting average of .247. Last year, he hit .246. He has hit over 20 home runs a few times, and driven in over 100 runs once as well. He strikes out a lot...in short, he reminds me a lot of Russell Branyan. http://www.baseballamerica.com/blog/prospects/?p=7395

Garrett Atkins has been a mainstay at third base for the Colorado Rockies since 2005 and he has been with the big club since 2003. After a rough 2008 the Rockies paid Atkins just over $7 million to play third for them in 2009. Enter Ian Stewart stage left. Stewart wrangled the job away from...

The Rockies on Friday added five players to their 40-man roster, which protects them from being selected in next month's Rule 5 Draft. Right-handers Alberto Alburquerque, Edgmer Escalona, Juan Nicasio and Chaz Roe along with catcher Michael McKenry were added, putting the Rockies' roster at 38....

The Rockies have signed manager Jim Tracy to a three-year contract extension, according to Tracy Ringolsby of Inside The Rockies. The news comes on the heels of Tracy's Manager of the Year Award, so it's a pretty good day in the Tracy household. Ringolsby mentions that Tracy's entire coaching...

From the Utley "hit" in game 3 top of the 9th to the Umps changing the strike zone in 2 different games. See the difference of walks. Especially when the Phillies pitchers were wild for warm ups. Baseball is becoming a disgrace now. Follow the money it leads to the Dodgers, Yankees, Red...

This whole call changed the series. It would have been a runner on third with 2 outs. Howard then popped out to deep center field. The game would have been tied going into the bottom of the 9th. With pictures.... They play at first http://i35.tinypic.com/24pzzoz.jpg Ball off Utley...

Troy Tulowitzki, he's really some ball player, Rockie fans have to love him. But............what happened in the last at bat, Rockie's last chance, he may as well have waved a white flag. What happened, I'm not sure if he even fouled off a pitch. Correct me if wrong, takes the first...

Unless the team has a collapse they seem to be on their way to win the Wild Card this year. This is a nice follow up to the 2007 season. I'm not sure they will be as successfull in the playoffs as their 2007 run, but it's good to see them be in the mix once again. I think Jim Tracy is a good fit...

Hawpe hit his first homerun since Aug 29 last evening. Good to see that. Other than Tulowitzki, the whole team seems to be on a hr drought. Iso
