January 23, 200422 yr From Rotoworld: Just for those of you who haven't caught this info yet...don't worry Critic you don't have to stop watching the Sox!!! According to his agent, Shawn Estes will sign a minor league deal with the Rockies. Estes is expected to get a $600,000 base salary if he makes the club. He'll compete for a rotation spot. Source: Denver Post Free agent Orlando Hernandez threw just 75-78 mph during his workout yesterday. El Duque, who missed all of last season after shoulder surgery, said he was about 85 percent. He's probably not going to get many offers based on the showing. If he wants a guaranteed deal, he'll have to build up some arm strength and then throw for scouts again. Source: New York Times Cuban defector Maels Rodriguez didn't reach 90 mph yesterday in his workout in front of scouts. It's likely that Rodriguez's velocity will increase as he gets further into his throwing program, but what he did yesterday won't help his stock. Although he didn't rule out a future bid, Mariners GM Bill Bavasi said he wouldn't make Rodriguez an offer based on the workout. Source: Seattle Times
January 23, 200422 yr YES!!!! YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Testes and Fassero in Coors??? Some OT at the baseball manufacturing plant!!! Rockies pitching
January 23, 200422 yr Estes pitching in Coors? I hope they stock up on baseballs. Free souvineers for everyone in the left field bleachers, that is until he gets the hook.
January 23, 200422 yr Good grief.. do these teams even look at the past performance of these pitchers when they sign them..? At the very least send them out and toss a few to them. I'm taking the over on # of HR's hit out of Coors this year.
January 23, 200422 yr YES!!!! YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Testes and Fassero in Coors??? Some OT at the baseball manufacturing plant!!! Rockies pitching fassero is still in baseball???...holy crap wonder if they will sign terry mulholland too
January 23, 200422 yr fassero is still in baseball???...holy crap wonder if they will sign terry mulholland too Maybe the Rockies' plan is to get the other team tired out from constantly swinging the bats and running the bases in the first game of a series, and then beat them the next 2 games.
January 23, 200422 yr Maybe the Rockies' plan is to get the other team tired out from constantly swinging the bats and running the bases in the first game of a series, and then beat them the next 2 games. now thats what i call "thinking outside the box"...those crazy coloradoans
