The Rockies expect to know Tuesday the extent of an injury to the pitching arm of right-handed reliever Casey Weathers, their No. 1 pick in the 2007 First-Year Player Draft.
Will Franklin Morales return to the rotation on 2009? Might the Rockies have an interest in the Marlins' Dan Uggla? Why does Troy Tulowitzki start slow? Beat reporter Thomas Harding addresses these questions and more in this week's Rockies mailbag.
Gomez biding time in 'no-throw' zone
Rockies right fielder Brad Hawpe had a solid season, hitting .283 with 25 homers and 85 RBIs. He prefers to focus on small chunks of the season, which has helped him focus on the present. Hawpe is signed through 2010, meaning he is a cornerstone for the future.
The Rockies let go three coaches on Tuesday and reassigned another, but retained pitching coach Bob Apodaca and first-base coach Glenallen Hill. The changes were made as the team seeks to improve on a 74-88 finish one year after reaching the World Series.
Does Aaron Cook deserve consideration for the National League Cy Young Award? Beat reporter Thomas Harding tackles this question and more in the mailbag.
First baseman Todd Helton has returned to Denver after undergoing back surgery this week, and the prediction that he'll be ready for 2009 Spring Training holds, the club announced Thursday.
The Rockies had a disappointing season after making a World Series run in 2007. General manager Dan O'Dowd feels the team needs to get back to basics next season, to make sure the team is more fundamentally sound and executing the game properly.
The Rockies are left to wonder how the same guys who made the World Series last year could spend almost all of the 2008 season below .500.
Manuel Corpas served up Chris Young's game-tying home run in the eighth, and Young drew a bases-loaded walk from Vizcaino in the ninth as the Rockies fell to the D-backs, 2-1, at Chase Field before 35,908 on Sunday.
The Rockies entered their final game of the season 13 games under .500. They were 3-14 against the D-backs, their opponent in the finale. The Rockies were 28-26 against the rest of the National League West.
Right fielder Matt Holliday would rather not be getting away from baseball at this point. But escaping the frustration of a bitter Rockies season works for him.
A team expected to win struggles, so changes are expected. The Rockies' Garrett Atkins admitted some of the players have dealt with it by engaging in gallows humor. Atkins realizes he could be gone.
Stephen Drew delivered a two-run single in the eighth inning as part of a three-run rally that gave the D-backs a 6-4 victory over the Rockies at Chase Field on Saturday.
Since hooking on with the Rockies, Glendon Rusch may have found a home. Rusch, who will start against the D-backs on Saturday, has pitched well enough that the Rockies have targeted him as a player they will attempt to re-sign for next season.
The Rockies' disappointment was cemented in the bottom of the eighth inning on Friday night, when Chad Tracy lashed a two-run double that gave the D-backs a 5-3 victory at Chase Field.
The Rockies scratched left fielder Matt Holliday from the lineup just before Friday night's game with the D-backs because of a stiff lower back. Ryan Spilborghs started in his place.
Rockies third baseman Ian Stewart will spend a good part of the offseason reliving 2008, which has proven to be his biggest opportunity to make an impact in the Major Leagues.
Curtis Leskanic made a name for himself by succeeding as a pitcher at hitter-friendly Coors Field. Now, he's relaxing at his family-friendly home in Orlando.
After rehabbing a broken leg into the offseason and then straining his rotator cuff in Spring Training, resulting in pain, rehab and more time than he bargained for at Triple-A Colorado Springs, Jason Hirsh will get to start for the first time since Aug. 7, 2007, when the Rockies open their final series of the season in Arizona.
Rockies left-hander Jorge De La Rosa locked up his first winning season in the Majors, pitching seven scoreless innings and giving up three hits in a 3-1 victory over the Giants on Thursday night to complete a three-game sweep at AT&T Park.
Todd Helton was informed Wednesday by back specialist Dr. Robert Watkins that he'll need surgery on his bulging disk, and it'll take place Tuesday in Marina Del Rey, Calif. But Helton, who visited Watkins on Wednesday, was upbeat Thursday.
Left-hander Jorge De La Rosa will make his final start of the season on Thursday night as he tries to help the Rockies sweep the Giants in a three-game set. He is 6-3 with a 3.41 ERA since the All-Star break. A victory would give him his first winning season in the Majors, and he is seven innings shy of his career high -- 130 in 2007.
Clint Barmes had hits in his first four at-bats, including a home run, a two-run double and an RBI single, as the Rockies beat the Giants, 15-6, at AT&T Park on Wednesday night.
