  • I mean Kris Bryant wanted to come there. CJ Cron and likely Grichuk are going to/have resurrected their careers there. In fact Cron hit a grand slam as I wrote that sentence haha (no kidding).

    Freeland is by no means good, but he seems to be serviceable enough in Coors and no free agent SP will ever come there. They tried the draft and develop pitchers route and it got them Jon Gray and Eddie Butler (and Jeff Hoffman who they traded Tulowitzki for) and everyone says their careers were totally screwed because of it. Then again, Freeland himself was a first round pick in 2014 (8th overall) so maybe they feel some loyalty.

      • Love this quote from Nick Pollock this morning:

        The Rockies looked at his 3.60 ERA and nothing else, nodded their heads, and said “Yup, $64.5 Million.” Hey, it’s a free land, they can do what they want.

        • So Bryant goes to the IL, they call up Elehuris Montero, he goes 2-for-4, gets sent right back down.

          Brendan Rogers continues to hit .109.

          Rockies being Rockies.

            I have Montero and I hate to ask but what are his chances with the Rockies for the future? Cron plays 1B and McMahon plays 3B so that leaves DH. I kind of expect Rogers to get it together.

              McMahon has also played 2B in the past, but has settled in as a GG level 3B. Anyway a good bat usually finds its way to the lineup.

              • Kris Bryant hit his first home run of the year in his 91st at bat. So glad i kept him instead of C.J. Cron.

                  I bet you don't feel as bad about that as the Rockies do.

                  • Cron has been unreal this year. The way he's done it is strange too. After upping his BB rate to 11% last year, he's back closer to his career norm at 6.1%, but the added aggression has produced a ton more power. The .297 BA is more a product of a higher than usual BABIP for him, but crushing the ball at Coors should lead to a high BABIP, so it seems legit. Love this guy, and happy to own him everywhere I can.

                      • The Rockies are extending, not trading, Daniel Bard because hey a 37-year-old RP is better than a Honda Accord?

                        “We’re fielding calls. We’ve got some players who are desirable,” Black said. “And I can’t speak to it, but I’ll give you some perspective. Team A might call on one of our players and their front office might say, ‘We like this guy.’ And our front office will say, ‘Well, yeah, he’s a good player, you should be on that player. … But this happens a little bit, too. Hey, you guys have a Range Rover. We’ll take your Range Rover and we’ll give you our Honda Accord.’ And teams expect you to do that.
                        The Rockies have dropped seven of their last ten games, falling into last place in the NL West. They're set …

                                Come to think of it, this is a pretty smart way to drive up the asking price.
