It was Cook's best season yet, thanks to a fantastic late-breaking sinker and good defense behind him in Colorado. The potential for another 13-16 wins makes him a decent back-end fantasy starter, though owners will have to look elsewhere for strikeout help.
The Denver Post's Patrick Saunders and Troy E. Renck report Colorado Rockies general manager Dan O'Dowd said he wants manager Clint Hurdle to be tougher on his players. SS Troy Tulowitzki and SP Aaron Cook said they would be open to Hurdle changing his approach given the team's struggles.
The Denver Rocky Mountain News reports Colorado Rockies SP Ubaldo Jimenez has 11 wins in his past 16 decisions, increasing his season record to 12-12. He is the sixth right-hander in Rockies history to have at least 12 wins, joining Aaron Cook, Darryl Kile, Jason Jennings, Kevin Ritz and Pedro Astacio.
The Denver Post reports that Aaron Cook has "agreed to shut it down" for the season rather than make one final start. The newspaper notes that Cook "admitted he's had trouble getting loose over his last two starts." Cook finishes the season 16-9 with a 3.96 ERA and 96/48 K/BB ratio in 211 1/3 innings spread over 32 starts. Jason Hirsh will pitch in his place Friday against Arizona.Source: Denver Post
